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 ;- )

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
