I've got high hopes for Motown Caff?, Peckham Rye. Drinks and Snacks is often what I need as pass through Peckham Rye and now Motown Caff?, Peckham Rye, has got that covered.


And if their coffee tastes of the last swill of a washing up bowl, like Sips' did, then all the better.

Listen, d_c, your personal remarks about Lady Sips are not relevant to the topic of Motown Caff?, Peckham Rye.


Plus, she was always very friendly with me. She probably took offence at your excessive slimness and shit clothes.


Anyway, I'm very excited about the arrival of Motown Caff?, Peckham Rye. It puts us on the level with Denmark Hill, and further extends our significant advantages over the unstaffed, drinks + snacksless, destinationally-challenged East Dulwich Halt (Mon-Fri only).



(Yes, lots of edits. Care)

Pish and tush. ED station has Blackbird Bakery to buy proper coffee and all sorts of fresh baked pastries and other toothsome delicacies.


That the mighty Carnell, in his tweeds and plus-fours is not a regular traveller through our fine station is a matter of regret to many fertile maidens of this Parish.

ED station has Blackbird Bakery to buy proper coffee


If ED station "has" Blackbird Bakery then Peckham Rye "has" several dozen butchers, greengrocers, fishmongers, art galleries, discount shoe shops, hair technicians, a steel fabrication yard, car mechanics, a cinema, churches, Macdonalds, and Iceland.


There's nothing wrong with being a one-train-an-hour stop-off on the Croydon-London line, but please don't talk your part up if you've only got a walk-on as a spear carrier.


That said, I look forward to the success of Motown Caff?, Peckham Rye, leading to a franchisee operating a Motown Caff?, East Dulwich. They will have to make the booth a bit smaller to fit in under the football manager's dugout that currently provides "shelter" to East Dulwich's few passengers, but I'm sure they'll work something out.

That's DRINKS (plus) SNACKS, isn't it Ted ?


NETTE:-S

Mr Palaeologus also tried this annexation of nearby facilities to advance the cause of East Dulwich Halt.


I think it's a shoddy tactic, although clearly deemed acceptable in the more arriviste postcodes. But the fact remains the station itself is barren of staff, drinks + snacks and even, it seems, trains.


Peckham Rye:

Staff

Ticket barriers

ATMs

Old waiting room

New waiting room (with heater, arm chairs, sofas)

Local art

General air of old world charm

And last but of course not least, Motown Caff?, Peckham Rye, soon to be fine purveyor of drinks + snacks.


East Dulwich:

On-ramp

Off-ramp

Some shops round the corner

We all know that when alighting at Peckham Rye and in need of "Hot Drinks + Snax", then you should make a beeline for Motown Caff?, Peckham Rye.


However...I take SE15's soulful offering and trump it from the Enid Blyton-esque idyll of North Dulwich where a new morning offering that I call "M-Treble-C" (Middle Class Coffee Cart) has just started up.


As of this week, an plucky entrepreneur has been serving "quality ground coffee plus snacks" from 7am and I'm a fan...

    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉 
    • Chains moving in is a sure sign that LL is heading for a fall. They are parasites, waiting for the independents to be successful and then, in partnership with rapacious landlords, they move in and force out those very businesses who have created the market they then seek to exploit. They replace a lively diversity with a bland and predictable offering. Then, when a downturn arrives, they move out, leaving boarded up premises and charity shops. Independent businesses who have worked hard to make a success of their efforts will try to see out hard times as they’ve invested so much. Chains look only at the bottom line and think nothing of closing branches. Chains are liable also to expand too fast, be managed badly and then collapse. Think of Brick House being forced out by Gail’s, the closure of White Stuff (although that chain was replaced by another) and JoJo Maman Bebe. . Sadly, I fear that will be the future of LL. 
    • It’s the impact the festival has on the community, the people living next door to the park who have to endure the thumping music and worse. Then there’s the park and the state it’s left in and the wildlife, especially nesting birds. All the roads going down Denmark Hill towards the park were closed off and roads off half moon lane and going up towards West Norwood closed off with wardens at each end, who were paid by Lambeth Council to stand there for the 4 days.  The festival made the news channels and interviews suggested most of the people attending weren’t fron the local area but places like Ireland and Scotland.  I live a 20 minute walk from the park and could hear the thumping music all day and night. Also the wind certainly carried the smell of drugs to my garden! For 4 days I couldn’t believe how strong it was. 
    • Emirates Stadium is  >60,00 but they tend to be very quiet 🙂 Jokes aside though, it's a case in point. Highbury was <40,000 and was 300M up the road, so there are definitely Islington residents who used to live half a mile from a fairly big football stadium, and now live right by a massive one. One that holds rock/pop concerts too accomodating 70,000 fans whether they like ot or not.   40% of Islington households are in social housing so regardless of when they moved their current homes, they may have had little say in exactly where they are housed.
