Best coffee on Lordship Lane?

Agree with Toasted (although not in the same class as St David, General Store, Anderson etc). Had a take away from Franklins at the weekend which was actually decent and very close to ESPH.


It's a shame as there's so many awesome coffee places in London now, yet none on LL!

Quite agree adsyb99 there is definitely a lack on LL.


For my money there is a big triangle, from the cafe at South London Gallery, Mousetail van at Peckham square, to Browns at Brockley (is that a triangle?! Isosceles maybe) which completely avoids ED, sadly. Oh, and the Dish and Spoon's coffee is pretty good too.


But hearing you all, will give Toast a go...

KikiMac, this has always bothered me too!


The places you mentioned all serve fantastic coffee, but for whatever reason, no where that comes close to these in ED.


Toasted is definitely drinkable, but I've noticed a big variance in quality depending on who makes the coffee. Always friend in there though.

I'd agree with others that Toasted is by far the best in ED. It does, as always, depend on the barrister - Leo makes excellent coffee.


Franklins is quite good (again depending on who makes it) and uses Volcano beans.


Outside of that I travel out of ED to Arlo & Moe (Crofton Park), Anderson & Co (Bellenden Road), Caf? Viva (Choumert Road), Browns (Brockley) or Bambuni (Evelina Road).


The London's Best Coffee app is usually a pretty good guide.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
