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.

    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors. 
    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
