Would second the Coal Rooms. Literally had one of the most delicious meals of my life there. Though you do have to practically step over lots of homeless people on the way out (it's right in the station) which makes you feel a bit wretched when you're stuffed to the gills with beautiful food...

Voodoo Ray was a disaster when we went in the first week. Nowt wrong with a few teething problems but it was the shrug of the shoulders that got me, the long queues and the poor information on the menu (most things were off). Only stayed because it was half price. Anyway, trendy place, will be successful, what do I an old timer know?


The taco place next to the pub is good, but not up market.


My recent experience is that everything is booked well in advance.


Of course the Peckham Levels is the place to be - so successful that they were running out of food on opening weeks (but far more forgivable than Voodoo)


Bar story makes sense but don't think does food late, and the Brick Brewery is Ace but being refurbed I think and again doesn't do late food.


I am known for jibes at LL expense but on this occasion justified. There is a separate question about lack of diversity in the restaurants in what still is a diverse area but that is for another thread.

Why are you proud of only going in McD's for one purchase of a tea? I am not a fan boy, but I recognise that its size and influence allows it to preach best practice, in terms of training, organic/local (ie. British) sourcing, consistency of standards, etc. etc. I have never had a bad time in McD's and often I am pleased with its food, its staff and its standards. (I go about four or five times a year, mainly for breakfast, FWIW.)

Back on track, I think Franklin's has to be the standout place in and around EDF-Land.

Cultural imperialism. I am sure you can say the same about Starbucks, Pret and all the rest. What gets me is the brand loyalty (or perhaps it is simple familiarity), we have to have Pret's on either side of the street to save people having to cross the road. Anyway it has its uses, in Budapest where I struggled to get a decent cup of tea and needed a wee. I am sure there are plenty of counterarguments but la la le la la, I am not listening.


Now where can I best buy that specialist gadget. No I don't want to go to the specialist shop when I can get it from Amazon....

Over attentive with me if anything and quiet when I went for a takeaway and pint at the bar there :)


I don't go anywhere when they've just opened - not an early adopter of restaurants.

    • If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.
    • Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
    • I made sure to set off a few today just to rile you guys up 😇😂 Always looking for something to criticise
