It's better than it used to be! Believe it or not, they've actually improved the exterior. It used to have a hand written sign in the window saying it was an hotel, and I swear that the only thing holding the net curtains together was the dirt...


Never been inside, thankfully, but my husband and I did book there once when we were having works done on the flat, were staying with my father down near Swindon for the weekend, and the builders informed us that we would not be able to move back in on Sunday night as planned - so we had to just find anywhere to stay, using internet resources. The chap who answered the phone did sound quite surprised to be getting a booking. We took one look at it, got back on our mobiles and found somewhere else, albeit a couple of miles away.


A B&B is one thing this area seriously lacks (we also stayed at what is now The Actress, but I don't think they do rooms any more).

fine tapestries = cobwebs?, Farrow & Ball = dossers on dole?, gold-plated taps = what taps?

I had a friend who was in the building trade and many years ago he was asked by the owner to look the premises over to judge how good decor etc was. He reported back that the rooms were very small and they were hoping to get double beds into single rooms, some rooms were going to have 2 sets of bunk beds. Felt the whole place was poor. Who knows it may have changed. The owner is/was a local businessman who owned and rented out several houses in ED. Owner is now old and demented and I believe family members may have taken over business.

a few years back the 5 joined houses were on the market for ?1.5mill the lot - would be snapped up at that price now. Stays open because they satisfy council HMO regs and provide a service to the authorities looking for 'cheap' b&b , placements for asylum seekers and the like.

Have thought about booking my relatives in there on a few occasions and then decided against it as it just looks cr*p! Haven't ventured past the front door though so could (ahem) be pleasantly surprised.


Have used Victoria Inn (good but sometimes noisy), Actress (sadly not any more) Air BnB (disastrous as key left with us didn't work but that's just a sample of one) and Peckham Lodge (surprisingly good!)


Oh and Marmora Man's place - which was absolutely fab!


Would bite the arm off someone developing a decent BnB near here....let me know if anyone hears of one!

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.

      @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
