?10 a head sounds good, will definitely check it out soon. Char siu buns are one of my favourites too.


I'm pretty sure most dim-sum is just the same mass-produced frozen stuff, so it doesn't vary much from place to place. But that's not a problem when it's cheap and hits the spot.

I spoke to the owners of the dim sum place the other day: absolutely charming people, I hope to eat there soon and wish them all the best.



Threads is brilliant - lovely, young girl with fab second hand clothes and some whizz vintage pieces. My dog was welcomed inside too which is very refreshing. Cheaper than ED Warehouse (which I love) and a great addition to Bellenden Road.

a young man from brooklyn was over recently as he was working for us. he'd been staying in hackney and shoreditch the 2 months he was in town. when he headed over for dinner (se5) he asked "where is peckham from here?" as i pointed over the railway track i asked him why he was interested. apparently peckham is piquing interest in hackney and is seen as the 'new place' where lots of interesting things are going on :)


i'm sure that this will upset some but i think that it's great.

Students in trilbies drawing on the walls of abandoned portakabins. That's the sort of thing we're after, I think. The trendies are moving in though, and the scene is moving on.


Think of the Meatwagon/easy trajectory and extend to the creative output of Camberwell CofA and Goldsmiths.

I was assuming that the young hipsters would look for things like bars/clubs, art, live music, interesting places to eat, etc. Although I can see the attraction of drawing on the portakabins, and not to mention the tent on top of the multi-storey serving campari and fish.


So now that Peckham is so obviously pass? (even the Americans are in on it), where next? Penge?

Come on now. Here's a list of Peckham (and one or two Dulwich and Camberwell) art galleries - and I've attached a map as well, because I want people to think I don't spend all my time watching repeats of Rosemary & Thyme on ITV3. In fact I also spend some of it pretending to know shit about the Peckham art scene.

(Brendan, all the original Edwardian bedrooms in Penge are designed so the marital beds would lie exactly in line with the rising sun on the Summer solstice. And Parish records show that during the years of the first world war, not a single male baby was baptised in the area.)

I work in Hoxton Sq.


There are by percentage AS many cunts per capita in the Bellenden area.

    • I was woken around midnight the other night as a Lime man tried to untangle a heap of three bikes someone had piled on my driveway. They block the pavements and people knock them over in frustration. I wrote to Lime and told them that in future any bikes left near my property would be securely stored away for collection at a mutually convenient time for both parties. I confiscated one at the weekend but a man knocked on our door looking to rent it while I was at work and my son gave it to him! I told Lime it's not fair of them to push the problem on to the local collection depots, they create the problem by allowing users to dump the things wherever they like. If they were penalized for doing so that would put an end to it.

That’s why I’m asking you to support our emergency Crowdfunder: 👉https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-sdcas  Even a small donation, or sharing this with your friends and family, will make a huge difference in helping us to reach our £70,000 goal and keep SDCAS open.

    • The address is: Bradbury Oak House, 4 Underhill Road, SE22 0AH
    • "2.2.1 The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has undertaken a comprehensive consultation process with its residents and stakeholders regarding the proposed development which aims to create 41 additional units and has been designed to address the growing demand for accessible and supportive accommodation for individuals with visual impairments. 2.2.2 The consultation process has been a key part of the planning phase, ensuring that the needs and preferences of current residents are taken into account. RNIB has held several meetings, workshops, and surveys to gather feedback on the design, facilities, and overall impact of the new development. Residents have been encouraged to share their views on various aspects, including accessibility features, communal spaces, and the integration of the new blocks with the existing infrastructure which has directly informed the proposals. 2.2.3 The Applicant also engaged with the local MP, Helen Hayes, and a couple of local councillors at the behest of RNIB tenants to provide new homes to promote independent living for its Blind and Partially Sighted residents"     Seems like a very sensible and necessary proposal to me.
