For a really interesting and slightly 'geo-topical' food experience, try New Malden

Korean Butcher BBQ places, and a lots more. Also the best food I've ever bought from a 'station snack bar' by far.

It's South Korean, not the less explored/poison wealding North.

Tho when I see a Pyongyang street food trader at Kerb, I'll know we've hit peak appropriation.

It's an odd place is Wiko's

I've been in this one and the Bromley branch

Both odd

That's the whole point, Seabag. When you're wondering "where can I buy a ...", the answer is quite often Wilkos.

It's like AJ Farmers on steroids.

Penge has also got a taproom in the local brewery (Southeys). Open Fridays and Saturdays.

Oh and the Alex pub is reopening in a couple of weeks or so, with craft beer and a restaurant.

It needs less takeaways and more restaurants but even that has improved a tad with Chez Yves (French) and Serbet (Turkish) opening in the last few months.
