ED/Peckham Rye pub crawl - advice required!


KrackersMaracas

Recommended Posts

Hello EDF!


The nights are getting warmer and longer, and I'm planning a pub crawl, playing the birthday card to keep "can't we go somewhere central?" to a minimum.


I'm going to start at Goose Green and wind my way up to Rye Lane and the Bussey Building, but thought that there would be no better place than here to check I'd not missed any favourite pubs/bars out!


Current plans are:

The Bishop

The EDT

Heading up to the Flying Pig

Then on to the Gowlett

(Skipping the Victoria and Prince Albert through fear of blood poisoning)

Up Blenheim Grove to Bar Story/Peckham Springs/Brick Brewery

Aaannd as Franks isn't open for another month, popping up to the roof of the Bussey Building (if it isn't raining)so the tourists can enjoy the view.


If I've missed an unmissable, your thoughts would be welcome!


Cheers!

I had completely forgotten about the Montpellier and really do prefer it to the FP. I didn't even know the four quarters existed (I think it's disguised a bit too well, I'd always thought it was a weird casino) but what a great place for a regroup!


I love pedlar as well but think they may not take too kindly to us piling in en masse and demanding a quick round of peckham martinis at the bar...

Depending on the date of your crawl, don't forget the new arrivals: The Hope (3, Melon Road - opening 7/5, according to its website) and John the Unicorn (157-9 Rye Lane, opening "end of spring" we are told).

Jah- this is my biggest concern.

Nigello - the hope might be a bit out of the way but I am crossing my fingers that john the unicorn will be ready. This unfortunately won't help aforementioned biggest concern.

I've never been to the peckham liberal club but have always wondered about what lies within!

Went on a stag related pub crawl a few months ago. The plan was to take in ten pubs, so I went for a half in each, carefully pacing myself so I'd still be sober enough for whatever club we ended up in. But no... 11:30pm and everyone went home. So that was that.

Always find pub crawls if over ambitious a bit of chore*. Just as I get settled, fancy another pint the cry goes up, " We are moving on" By pub 3 a breakaway group has formed and we all meet up at the last boozer on list. 3 or 4 pubs Max for me these days, with a couple of hours in one over lunch. Sorted.


Enjoy your Birthday pub crawl wherever you go KM.


*see also fancy dress parties.

Deffo avoid the Bishop. I'd probably cut out the Gowlett and Montpellier too- or end in them. After the Flying Pig go to Four Quarters (lots of fun, good music and good beer) then on to Rye Wax (basement of Bussey Building- cocktail happy hour is 6-8 I think) then Brick Brewery/Bar Storey & Peckham Springs, finish at the Montpellier/Gowlett

My housemate reconnoitred the re-reopened Prince Albert at the weekend, and now wishes to officially designate it as "our local". Worth a look.

Im thinking of coming through on Saturday* and doing a bit of a crawl...Not sure what I fancy as yet. 3 or 4 pubs heading back toward Peckham Rye...


Im hearing the New Hope has opened so may sniff that out.

    • I liked the bit In your article that said.  “The statistics provide insights into speeds at which drivers choose to travel when free to do so,” says the DfT, adding that they are “not representative of the level of speeding across the whole road network, which we would expect to be lower.” And  "RAC Report on Motoring 2022 asked users to select up to three reasons why they exceed the speed limit for each road class. On roads with 20mph limits, the top reason for exceeding the speed limit was “speed limit being inappropriate for the road,” which was cited by 47% of 20mph road users" 🤔 As @alice clearly pointed out, this is about cyclists not motorists. Your refusal to answer the question is showing that you clearly don't think cyclists should obey the rules, fair play on you, in that case why  should motorists ?  My simple answer, as I stated before is that everyone should obey the rules, as to how that's enforced is not my area of expertise  Maybe it's yours @Hen123 in which case you tell us how you would make sure everyone obeys the rules to make everyone safe, including cyclists and drivers! 
    • Are you saying more should be done about 90% of motorists who break them? 
    • Ahhhh, @malumbu yet again you try and twist the truth. you muat be despetate 🤣 The consultation is about local authorities not keeping excess profits from fines, it is NOT about taking control of local roads away from them. 4/10 must try harder
