Whilst I agree on Rye Lane itself you do struggle to find the trendy stuff (at the moment at least), on most of the side roads, leading onto it there is an abundant nightlife and cafe culture which is growing by the week. A walk around the top end of Peckham Rye on the junction with Rye Lane currently has Blue Tit (trendy East London hairdressing import), Pedlar (upmarket eatery and cocktail bar recently opened) a new independent organic food store with great window displays and I noticed today a new barbecue and craft beer restaurant/bar about to open in the row of shops next to the recently opened smartly dressed estate agent. It's changing and at a rapid pace.

So nowhere's safe. Great.

I just wish they'd give them a lick of colour. I like the buildings quite a lot, but all that grey is a bit miserable.

It's the grey I like - and the way it weathers and how it looks when different parts are wet and drying - a lick of paint would ruin it.

    • My husband is currently a full-time carer for our two disabled children, and he’s keen to get back into paid work where he can fit it around our family needs. He’s immediately available and looking for local handyman work — from snagging and DIY jobs to gardening or general fixing-up. He’s capable, practical, and reliable, with plenty of hands-on experience restoring and maintaining, including with heritage/listed properties. If you have a to-do list you never quite get to, or need help with those annoying finishing touches, he’d be happy to help. Please drop him a message if you’d like to chat or check availability. 07968345884
    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
