Impressive all things considered.

tfwsoll - but where in Dulwich does do good coffee? (nearest places I can think of are Bambuni and Anderson in Nunhead/Peckham).


Jah Lush - I think Nunhead was lumped in with Peckham, much as Deptford and New Cross were together, and bizarrely, Blackheath and Brockley were.

Too right! Sorry - I know I've moaned about it before but I still despair at the absence of decent coffee in ED. Blue Mountain's is singularly unimpressive to be the winner in the category. Guess I'll just have to stick to Nunhead and Peckham. My current top tip is Lerryn's at the bottom of Rye Lane - gorgeous.

Anybody could vote for them via Time Out's website.


I don't think there were any specific criteria.

tfwsoll - I like FCB's espressos although I had one of the worst americanos ever there. Bambuni in nunhead uses Volcano beans as well. I've only had toasted's once and wasnt especially impressed.


I want to try Lerryn's. Otherwise mousetail by Peckham library are good. But my regular haunt is Alchemy by City Thameslink station. mmmm.

No - just the way the OP presented them almost made it seem like it's a undispitable fact.

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
