Lots of people are on holiday now. How desirable is your flat? Close to good transport? Good room sizes? What agent are you with?

Don't you mean the OCD? If so, then good.

Louisa is usually right about everything isn't she!;-)

For cheap clothes, there's a new Peacock's in Camberwell where Woolie's used to be.

Vomit has only one m.

Which film - they made more than one?

Look at this link http://spacemakers.org.uk/brixton/ It outlines the development of the undercover market.

There is also a new cafe at the South London Gallery on Peckham Road.

What is the point in comparing places to their past? Get to know the good things about them now.

This is my thread! Don't be nasty.......

Not exactly Peckham, but close - Elephant and Castle has an interesting food market on Sundays.

Yes there is already a thread on this. The ones who came out top in a recent tasting were the ones sold outside the Cheese Block on a Saturday. Second were my faves from Wild Caper in Brixton.......Homemade's weren't available as they hadn't opened at that point.

Louisa, maybe Brixton wasn't on the tourist map before, but it is now. That is the point. I'd only been there a few times after I moved down here - 1997. Didn't enjoy it. But I do now.

The Chinese shop has American Root Beer! Khan's on Rye Lane is a great store too.

When was the last time you were at the indoor market(s) in Brixton? They have been given listed building status and have been attracting new businesses since last November. The market recently featured in the New York Times as a great place to visit.

There are a lot of entertainment places on the South Bank and around Waterloo inc. Festival Hall, Old Vic, Young Vic. There is also Borough Market which extremely close to London Bridge. Also a thriving food scene in Brixton and Elephant and Castle.

There are lots of people who go to the swimming pool and the library and the market is in the same place, except only on a Sunday. And it is not a 'farmer's' market as not all the stallholders are farmers.

TonyQuinn Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Why go to Brixton or Stockwell in the first place? The Brixton indoor market is amazing. Forget Franco Manca - there are much better places to eat in there now. Cornercopia, Islanders Kitchen, several Argentinian places, Federation Coffee......and it is open late on Thursdays until 10 pm.

Have private messaged you.

Parking can be found in Lidl car park and all along the end of Bellenden Road for free on a Sunday. PR, I don't think the market does well unless you are already established there. There is a farmer from Kent who comes up every Sunday and she has an established base of customers. However, the newbies don't seem to do well. I don't really go there for an experience but did like it before more when you could at least get a cup of coffee. There is also a periodic appearance of plant and herb sellers.

I wanted to call attention to this market as it is very close by. It's outside Peckham Library every Sunday between 9 am - 1 pm. There are some new stallholders there now, including two Polish ones. One is a guy selling delicious hot food including Hunter's Stew and Pierogis. I have sampled all his offerings and can recommend them. The other is a cake stall which sells homemade Polish cheesecake. I don't think the market is publicised at all which is a shame as it means the businesses don't do well. Other stalls are a bread stall (Flour Power), 3 fruit and vegetables places, one of them is only there in the summer months, a cheese place and an occasional fish stall. There has also been an appearance recently by the sausage people who are normally at Dulwich 'Farmer's' Market the last Sunday of each month at Dulwich College. They cook their sausages there and you can buy them in a bun. There was a woman selling amazing chutneys and jams a few times (evidently she is normally at Blackheath) but she didn't last long. What is needs is a coffee place and perhaps a juice maker. I do wish the person in charge of the market would do a bit more PR work.

You could also try Streetbank.

I don't think saying local estate agents are experts is correct. Why would you say that?

True Blood anyone?
