I like this thread. Coffee snobbery is a good thing! My order of preference in SE22/SE15 is -

1) General Store (they serve Workshop)

2) Old Spike Roastery

3) Cafe Viva (they serve Volcano)

4) Toasted (I think it is Square Mile)

5) Brickhouse Bakery/Peckham Refreshment Rooms

Aneto gets a thumbs up from me, I think they are a little underrated. I would say tho that I go to different places for black coffee than white - something a previous post picked up on! In terms of your morning coffee though S&S, I actually quite rate the lady outside the station, plus she's very nice.

I love La Scala precisely because the coffee is super smooth and not at all bitter.


I think they saw you coming and had you on a wind up Foxy.

Ok Guys, I've tried a few now in the past few days. Brick House was great but loses points for being closed on Mondays. My winner is Toasted. I'd wandered in before I moved here and thought it was a different place, but looks like they've just painted it. Seriously good coffee and fresh croissants :) I think I've also found my new local wine bar. Loving SE22!

Great list - Only one I would add is Small White Elephant

Oh yes - Small White Elephant is fab too. They serve coffee from Alchemy I think who are excellent. They are my go to if Cafe Viva is shut. Ah yes, All Press at Toasted! And Corals (was Lerryn's) is great too (serve Climpson's). I'll use Anderson's if any of the others are shut, but General Store have just extended their hours - hurrah! Really revealing way too much here about my coffee nerdiness.


In terms of type, I prefer a Long Black (shorter than an Americano), followed up by a Flat White (later!) if I'm really tired. No I'm not addicted at all ;- )

    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.      
    • Hi all Does anyone know someone who can make a window seat cushion and cover? See image of window seat. Thank you.
    • Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
