Peckham Sunday Market

In the Life of Brian there is the, What have the Romans Done for us, scene. It is because of this this, I?m assuming, that the rhetorical question, ?What have the (insert subject here) done for us.? has become a bit of a modern colloquialism.

i read this thread with interest as i'm going to head down to the market on sunday (been meaning to go since we moved here a wee while back).

someone mentioned "the best persian shop" - i'd be interested to know where this is/what it's called?

i often head down rye lane and pick up fruit and veg but am somewhat nervous of going into the other food shops, becauase i'm scared i'll make an idiot of myself buying/asking for the wrong thing! (my bad, not the fault of the shops'!) i am pretty unfamiliar with the international cuisine that seems to be represented on rye lane (west indian & middle eastern to name just two) so any personal reccs would be hugely appreciated :)

by the way - while hunting for more details, i came across the wondeful looking blog (have only scanned it as am supposed to be working) - http://helengraves.co.uk/ - full of tips of eateries and food shops roundabout (including persopolis).

you may already know it (in fact it might be one of you that writes it :)) but thought i'd pass it on just in case.

I'm quite liking the Peckham Tip at the moment



We've been going out down in the Bellenden Road area lately. There's a nice friendly crowd down there & the legendary Meat Wagon pitches up regularly, It's not unusual to meet people who come from North london just to try his burgers. I've also discovered some niche businesses, up-cycle furniture makers & such like.

So is it better than East Dulwich ? I don't think you can compare really, I'm just glad they complement each other. I like the creative Village-y feel in & around the Bellenden Road , the housing stock is quietly grand & diverse communities live side by side . I do also enjoy the variety & scope in the Lordship lane area too, we are spoilt for choice I'd say


Long may it continue



W**F


( I will check the market out )

There is also, TV shows like Desmond?s and Fools and Horses some episode of the Sweeny that as put Peckham on the map I agree with Djkillaqueen Peckham has some shops as well as Brixton and Camden for me has other shops I like Dulwich does not have all the shops I need there is a slight snobbery towards Peckham. People like that need to get out more and get a life :)

    • We were hoping to have a meal at Monkatsu  last night (Sunday), after having been out all day. Online information gave the closing time as 10pm. We got there around 8.30pm and they wouldn't give us a table because "the kitchen closes in half an hour." Surely it doesn't take half an hour to make a meal? We've never had to wait that long when we've eaten there before. Has anybody else had this happen? We ended up going home and getting a delivery, which wasn't how we had envisaged the end of a nice day 🙄
    • That place did only have pizzas on the menu, to the best of my recollection. We ate there once, the pizzas were ok but the room was not exactly atmospheric. Il Mirto has  a lot of pasta dishes on the menu,  but that also never seems busy. It's small and out of the way,  and easily forgotten if you're looking for somewhere to eat, I suppose.
    • London's Fallen. The Mayor, was, is and will remain a disaster for London "Sadiq Khan’s legacy: 772 six figure earners in TfL alone, 18 TfL employees on over £250,000 Sadiq paid himself £171,587 in 2022-23, up £21,000 from four years ago, What do you get? 4.99% council tax increase, ULEZ tax, Mayoral tax doubled to £471, Knife crime up, Acid attack capital of the world, Shoplifting up 48% Muggings and picketing up x3 He’s filling his mates and his own pockets, laughing at you in his bullet proof Range Rover Sentinel paid for by the taxpayer." "More than 1000 of his City Hall staff are on a salary of £100,000 or more per year" So were is the value of money in that , and you know what, we all pay for it from our council tax. More administration and more of a burden on the people. He is out of touch with reality.  And as for Susan Hall, her campaign was only about Ulez, it was the only thing she ever brought up, when London has so many other problems that she didn't ever mention once. Her hope was that the voters in the outer London Boroughs would get her over the line, she failed miserably.   And why does the new mayor think Londoners should provide school meals for children, not his, or our responsibility, or does he now control the running of schools as well.  And as for air quality, its been proven Ulez has made practically NO difference. Where is all the money he's generated, certainly not back into London, otherwise he wouldn't have raised his part of the council tax for 2024/25 by 8.3%. WE pay more and get less each and every year.  Well if that's the case, the scrutiny of borough councils needs to increase 1000+ fold and be held to account for the actions they take and the decisions they make.  His "winners" speech was no more than hot air, saying how he represents all Londoners, I'll tell you what, lets switch Mayors and have Andy Burnham, Manchester can have Khan, At least Burnham is a proper politician with proper values who actually cares about people.
