Franks makes it to the london review of breakfasts http://londonreviewofbreakfasts.blogspot.com/2011/07/franks-cafe-and-campari-bar-peckham.html

I've yet to make it to Franks, but I'll definitely give it a go this year.

Anyone know when it goes on until?

September 30th

Huh??

Do go, Mockney, it's wonderful. Best when it's beginning to get dark for the evening panorama.

If you are going to Franks Cafe and intend to park in the car park - Make sure you buy a pay and display ticket!

The machine nearest the entrance to franks cafe is broken and the car park is always completely empty so it's easy to assume you don't have to pay - as I did. Find another machine or pay a ?40 fine...

The parking enforcement people hang around outside the car park and probably watch you on cctv - if you don't pay and display you will get a ticket.

I've been to Franks cafe 4 times this year and every single time I see cars with parking fines tucked under the windscreen!

Really out of order... be warned!

Where is the entrance to the carpark?

Go down Hanover Pk & there is a sideroad called Cerise Rd.

Car park is at the end, behind the cinema.

I understand the lift does not work at all. Is this still true? Seven floors?!

[Marmora Man]

According to the BReakfast Blogger lift is now repaired.

[RosieH]

I'd rather 7 floors (even when I was on crutches) than that lift!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I tried to go to Frank's this evening but it wasn't open. [Note to self: read website properly.]

The lifts were locked so trudged up 5 floors when some cyclists told us it wasn't open. Had to settle for Bar Story.

[Mick Mac]

Any idea when it might be open PGC - was it just closed tonight or long term? cheers.

[Jeremy]

Frank's is an interesting idea, but probably best if you drive.

The journey up to the top of the car park - either via that lift, or negotiating the maze of dark corridors - is none too tempting. I'm not too keen on walking through that part of Peckham at night either.

it's very easy to walk up- go in the black door down the side of peckham plex cinema (off rye lane)- walk up the first 4/5 storeys by the stairs then it's easy to find through the car park itself- not a difficult walk up-and well worth the effort

Oh, it's only open Thurs - Sun, lunchtime til about 10-ish.

If you want to get a drink, i'd recommend getting there before 8.30, because the bar queues are ridiculous after that (especially Friday and Saturday).
