I straddle both worlds, living at the top of DK hill as I do. I'm not often tempted north sadly, but that's not to say there's nothing to offer. The Grove I will check out, the Dark Horse too, The Funky Munkey can be fun on occasion. Not a big fan of the Castle (the non scary one), but then I'm not a big fan of the Bishop.


Sun & Doves has nice garden.


The George Canning and Buddha Jazz are SE5. Oriental Culture's a nice takeaway and there's a cool little music shop off the green crossroads. medicine bar looks interesting, any good?




err...McDonalds?

I lived in Camberwell for about 5 months before moving to ED..... The Dark Horse is definitely worth a visit, the food is lovely! Also, there is a Thai restaurant the other side of the road to the Sun and Doves (a bit closer to Camberwell Green) that is really nice too.


I can second that Oriental Culture is a very good takeway - and they deliver too!


There are quite a few good pubs in the area worth a visit.

There are some good pubs/bars in Camberwell, it's sometimes worth a visit if you want to stay out late, or just want to try some different places. Unfortunately there's nothing there to persuade me to visit during the day time, expect for perhaps the asian supermarket. Oh, and the hospital for my annual stupid injury.

I quite like Camberwell, had some classic (very very very drunk) evenings in The Red Star (by the way, has it totally closed down, haven't been for a couple of years?


Silver Buckle always looks scary though, and on the 2 occasions I've been in, there has been a huge fight!


Funky Monkey gets my vote :)-D

Mrs Rob and I lived in Camberwell for a few years before moving to ED seven years ago. Still go there for:

1 Hoa Viet on Camberwell Church St - best Vietnamese in S London

2 Ginseng Noodles - a proper SE5 landmark now. great noodle soups, juices and fried noodles. Lovely people too.

3. the chinese supermarket.

4. that's it.


used to like:

Funky Munky

The Kerslake

King William IVth on Camberwell New Road - before it got bought by property developers and turned into, well I'm not really sure what they did turn it into...

TimTim, Ant's right, I do like it. The head waitress Chloe is incredibly friendly and accommodating. It was good with Mrs Mockney's 9 year old niece when we took her. The food is jolly nice without being exceptional, but reasonably priced and maintaining it's standards which is encouraging and seems to be gaining popularity which is good as that spot has been a restaurant graveyard in the past..


Try the seared beef or goat with plantain and basil for starter. The chilli eel also delightful.


Nice Vietnamese curries, noodles and soups for mains.

I like Camberwell's arty vibe and it is much more mixed up and down-to-earth than ED (do we really need any more boutiques selling overpriced pommades and baby clothes!!!?)


Some of the architecture there is fantastic, especially the lovely Grove Vale.


However it seems to be absolutely full of nutters, drunks and crackheads, which I find a bit scary and off-putting. Probably a bit un-pc to say that but it's the truth...

Oh yes, Camberwell beats East Dulwich hands down for photo opportunities, there are some really lovely buildings, but it can be a bit unsettling and nerve-wracking carrying a good camera around there without company.


Talking of Arty vibe, I passed a trio of what must have been students from the art college returning camberwellwards from an ED visit on sunday. Made my day. Girl had flowery shirt, black tights and luminous yellow legwarmers 80s stylee. One chap wore slacks and salmon pink jacket while the other one dressed like a chap, had a pencil thin moustache (made of bumfluff of course) and was smoking a pipe.

Lovely :D

I lived in SE5 for 3 years before moving to ED. Great Jazz on Fridays at the Crypt, Seymours and Tadim are great cafe's, Woolies is very useful and Camberwell Green has the most concentration of buses passing through than anywhere else in London which is fab for public transport users.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
