"The key point is that by itself without external intervention, Peckham has been creating from within a whole set of enterprises right across the cultural and creative industries and across four linked sites in the town center. They are thriving while left alone, but heavy handed regeneration will kill them off. It is likely to be a fiasco and will kill the golden goose that has made Peckham such a hot spot in the first place." http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/dr-michael-petry/peckham-in-peril_b_4643580.html

The White Horse will be open. The Gowlett used to open for a few hours at lunchtime but I can't confirm this year.

Tweeps also report it started with a man smashing up KFC after jumping the counter and taking chicken. When the "feds" arrived the baseball bat was turned against one of the cars. Never a dull momement, huh.

I recently found out that there is a new microbrewery - Brick Brewery - opening in Peckham next month. http://www.brickbrewery.co.uk/ It's half way between Bar Story and the Refreshment Rooms, which could make for a great Saturday afternoon crawlette if we ever see the sunshine again. a

So, twitter has just told me that the Peckham Refreshment Rooms are opening this Friday. Their (rather spartan) website has a menu, which looks tasty in a sort of tapas-y way. http://peckhamrefreshment.com/ Mrs A and I will be popping in for sure. (I've no affiliation other than living locally, btw).

Fare thee well.
