Senor Chevalier - you can get a pretty good authentic flat white from the Blue Mountain Cafe (on North Cross road, ED). I was very pleased to see it on the menu not so long ago! And the staff were very familiar with the difference between a latte, Americano and the flat white.


All this coffee talk also put my high alert and whilst getting some lunch at Eat today (Southbank) I notice they too do a flat white.

What is all this nonsense about Peckham, SE15? I live there and some parts are great!

And not all of us talk in street patois thank you very much.


Frog on the Green is a great cafe in SE15. I bet if you asked John, he would rustle up a fantastic Flat White. So.. enough stuck up, ill informed snobbery thank you very much.

I can confirm that we cannot afford either humour or irony here in lovely SE15 (due to council favouritism of SE22 etc. etc.) but we have a liberal supply of sarcasm.


P.S. Nancy, that was for my pals Rosie and Quids, not aimed at you. :-)

Rules of EDF #342: Anyone extolling the virtues of anything in another area has some kind of chip on their shoulder, directly related to the meagre value of their house and the fact that their local pub is unlikely to sell a ?9 fish finger sandwich

Jacks Tea & Coffee House open at 8am till 5.30pm Monday to Friday and 9-2am "Brunch" Saturday.


Come try our flat white's out i promise they are good, we also do Espresso, Ristretto, Piccolo, Machiato, Afogato, Capp, Latte, Mocha and Hot choc with 70% Belgian Choc & Marshmellows

Ditto mrnzjac.


I'm a kiwi, when I go home for holidays I'm always struck by just how much coverage the royal family get over there - NZ is a nation of royalists!


I too would love to know where to get a good bacon and egg pie - have lived in the UK 10.5 years and still miss it.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
