Some people enjoy drinking cocktails on top of a piss-smelling multi-storey car park in Peckham. Takes all sorts ;-) FWIW I love The Rake. Only five minutes from work and always a friendly welcome. It's fair to say they always warn people if the beer is 'pricey'. And, as been pointed out, there's always a decent ale on for under four quid.

I like the Rake, but currently drinking more frequently in the Old Red Cow in Smithfield, which has a great selection of cask and keg, and is the closest pub to work that's not a City hell-hole. I still have a psychological block about paying more than a fiver a pint (or at least much more than a fiver), and most of the really expensive stuff is way over strength IPA which I don't like anyway.

Bit out the way for us south-Londoners though, innit?

I quite like that stuff, but it's really only suitable if you're staying for "just the one".

Googleing Most expensive pint in Britain


At ?5.80, London pub sells probably the most expensive pint in Britain


The Coach & Horses proclaims itself as Soho's "most famous pub" ? but it now has a less appealing claim to celebrity.


The historic watering hole for some of London's most raffish residents sells what is claimed to be the most expensive pint in Britain.


Even legendary former clients such as columnist Jeffrey Bernard may have baulked at the eye-watering ?5.80 for a pint of Leffe, the draught Belgium beer, sold at Tesco for about ?2.

Obviously Google has never heard of or reached East Dulwich..

Yup if only the big breweries back then had grown beards and made it "Craft Red Barrell" they'd have got away with selling gassy kegged crap for a premium price too

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
