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'm not sure who they are with. I would have loved to tell them stfu Sue 😂 I just don't want a camera shoved in my face, in fact maybe that's what they wanted, some kind of reaction so they can create extra drama to boost their tiktok
    • Silver swim is still a lane swim.  However, the slow lane is pretty relaxed. I have recently had a knee replacement, so I mostly walk in this lane exercising my leg on the way!  You can book a week in advance i.e. for a Tuesday swim, you can book on the Monday a week prior after 10pm.  Likewise for the Thursday swim, you can book on the Weds a week prior after 10pm.  It gets booked up pretty quickly, there often aren't any places the day after booking opens.  Other than that, keep an eye open for cancellations, especially a day prior. Good luck!
    • How can councils reduce social housing element? Is this just London or through out UK? Housebuilders making enough money as it is!!  When are housebuilders going to understand their social responsibilities — with a shortage of property throughout UK, guess like everything, does not matter whuch Govt in charge… back handers, mates blah blah.. Been going on for years…  Europe as a whole, well most of them can find ways of supporting homeless with pods etc, turn containers into housing and we in UK? Do what? Govt - all for some extraordinary reason are not accountable for mis using tax payers money.. NHS not held accountable either for mis use of funds and yet, we expect and complain if  overworked doctors, nurses etc are doing their best in a very difficult situation. Years ago, wrote a paper on elderly care, bed blocking, dementia and no plans going forward to accommodate or in deed plans in place to sort out social care.. No wonder, medical professions are looking to work or relocate abroad..  Simply do not get it at all.. changing names of govt departments to something what? Acceptable in 21century is not going to solve the problems… Same goes for police, fire department, ambulances, schools etc.. only sector that seems to be having and have had for years, monies and support is sport…  Education is in same situation - having to ask for donations for books, musical instruments etc and now expected to train toddlers in how to use utensils for food, provide food and train/assist  potty training to use of toilets…plus normal teacher and or assistant duties. Not even going to go down route of SEN needs… Rant over..           
    • I completely agree.  Mickey did some work for a couple I know and from this, I asked him to do some plastering for me.  He works to a really high standard, is reliable, fair priced and very clean and considerate.  He does the work himself, so you do not get random people coming to your home.  If you are looking for a trades person MJ Lawless Plastering Services is your person.  His number is 07930 678 989
