Of course Peckham is the coolest place in London!

People who make fun surely have not been there recently (probably pass Rye Lane using the bus from the station).

Among others : Peckham Festival (have you been??), Peckham Levels ( https://www.peckhamlevels.org/ ) and the eateries there, Frank Cafe roof top bar, Bussey Building (and the best club night in London Soul Train (seriously just go you don't need to be a millennial!), restaurants and bars like Peckham Bazaar, Aside ( http://asidelondon.com/ what a gem!), Peddler, Artusi, Forza Win ( https://www.forzawin.com - read the Guardian review ), Miss Tapas, 200 Rye Ln, etc....plus it's a creative hub with many artists and small businesses ( https://www.copelandpark.com ).

To be honest I'm quite glad to live few bus stops from there.

Loads going on in Peckham now... I almost never go to Lordship Lane in the evenings these days (still like it during daytime though).


Although looking at some of the other entries on that list... West Village? Maybe in the 1960s!! Wan Chai? OK if you like "Irish" pubs and/or Filipino working girls. Sanlitun? Shopping malls and tourists.

Brain Sewer: ?The coolest part of the ?11th coolest neighbourhood in the world? is surely where I found myself yesterday, by the bins at the back of Rye Lane Market where it comes out onto Elm Grove.


The bloodstained mattress, the scattered chicken parts and the clever addition of the stench of piss was an urban art tour de force.


The intelligent use of the screaming guy on the bench added a frisson.?

Paul Dacre left at the end of August.


Anyone who does read it see any change (if you want to out yourselves) ?

I stopped looking at it online after their appalling headlines about the judges, but I see the headlines on the late night paper reviews and there doesn't seem to be much difference with respect to Brexit. Apparently the new remain supporting editor is backing Brexit, just not as vociferously...

That's all part of the excitement of it surely :D


Joking aside, there are loads of thing going on in Peckham right now, you don't even need to go up Town for a night out with the variety of eateries, pubs and events. They opened up the old waiting room at Peckham Rye station on Saturday, which had been boarded up since 1962, the old decor looked brilliant. I hope they re-open permanently https://openhouselondon.open-city.org.uk/listings/6995

      Indoor market in East Dulwich - Would you be interested?

      By Sue · Posted

      I'd forgotten about that place.  It wasn't a market as such, it was just run by one  couple. They did have some quite interesting things. I still have a mirror I got from there, which had been  put inside an old painted  shuttered window frame from somewhere in India. Mumbai I think. There also used to be occasional indoor  markets in the church hall where the cinema now is, next to where the Irish shop used to be. But if memory serves they were usually either jumble sales (do they still exist?) or craft sales before Christmas. There have also been occasional indoor markets at the church hall in Dulwich Village and the church hall at the church in Barry Road up by the Plough. There never seemed to be many people buying things at them. But it does all depend on what is being sold, whether it appeals to the local demographic,  where the market is located and how it is publicised. And, obviously,  whether it is profitable for the traders.

      By kford · Posted

      "I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff."   I remember that little bric-a-brac, at the back of the solicitors' place. Still got a block type panel from there. The old solicitors on the corner would could be a good venue for a few indoor stalls
