New cafe on Peckham Rye

[Alec John Moore]

After some speculation on EDF the old electrical engineers shop on Peckham Rye is now a cafe called The Gardens. They had their soft opening today. Proper opening on the 11th, I think. Very friendly, very keen staff and cool decor. Looking forward to when they open in the evening. Very spacious both inside and out with that great big paved area at front. They are planning to show exhibitions of artists' work. Atmosphere was as cool as the decor but it was quiet and should pick up when it gets better known. A welcome addition to the eateries at that end of ED.

There's a thread over in the business section about this:
