That's all part of the excitement of it surely :D Joking aside, there are loads of thing going on in Peckham right now, you don't even need to go up Town for a night out with the variety of eateries, pubs and events. They opened up the old waiting room at Peckham Rye station on Saturday, which had been boarded up since 1962, the old decor looked brilliant. I hope they re-open permanently https://openhouselondon.open-city.org.uk/listings/6995

Peckham is at number 11. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-6189783/amp/The-50-coolest-neighbourhoods-world-named-Peckham-ranked-11th.html

Is this where the old playground used to be, which then became an adventure playground with lots of climbing apparatus? I remember they had a paddling pool in the park when my daughter was little, many years ago.

When I took my cat in yesterday they had started packing up. It's a shame they're moving, it was such a lovely site and parking was easy.

Where it's situated there are not many local residents living close by as it's near the main junction. It will probably be the buses and vehicles diverted for a period. The nearest building would be the nursery (formerly public toilets).

I don't think it works out at ?16,000 per flat, I would imagine it's divided up between the leaseholders, as the tenants pay nothing. I warned my sister-in-law about these costs before she bought an ex-council flat.

Not sure the site is big enough for the amphitheatre, Restaurant, gym, dance studio etc. from I remember, but it would be nice to have an open air pool. Also, as someone mentioned, it's a bit too near to the busy junction.

Daughter and I went out researching somewhere to go and eat around Peckham and Nunhead for Mothers Day, cruising drive-by fashion and doing rough head-counts. All eateries were literally heaving with people: Mr. Bao, Pedlers, Artusi, Peckham Bazaar. People were queuing outside Pedlers. It's good that there are so many places to eat in Peckham, seems like the place to be at the moment. Hope they all continue to do well.

I've always said we need a cashpoint down Evelina Road. The only one is in one of the mini-supermarkets and that charges you to take out cash. This will will be a welcome addition if it's free. I actually remember when it was a Haberdashers and that was many many years ago. It's good to see that more and more new shops are opening in that part of Nunhead, to add to the Butcher, Baker and Candlestick maker (well candlestick sellers anyway) and Fishmonger. It's a nice stretch of road where you can pick up almost anything you need.

Thanks for the info Renata. Renata Hamvas Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > New restaurant The Habit on Nunhead Lane and > Bambuni is closed until spring as it's moving > along a few doors to new premises.

Bambuni has closed? It looked like they were doing pretty well. antantant Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I liked Dead Dolls, nice to have something > different. Anyway has anyone tried The Habit - > the new place in Nunhead now Bambini's has closed?

It's called Can Tho. Jeremy Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > nunheadbelle Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > I'm into Vietnamese at the moment, usually > order > > from one on the Old Kent Road > > What's it called?

I'm into Vietnamese at the moment, usually order from one on the Old Kent Road but this will be even nearer. Can't wait!

I remember years ago when this was hailed as the new way to work, better than paying for an office or a hot desk. This IS a hot desk (especially if you spill your coffee lol, sorry). It's good that there are more places offering free wi-fi these days, which helps businessmen/women on a budget and it gets you out of the house where you can meet others.

The sense of adventure, ploughing your way through goodness knows what, the smell of rotting vegetables and other things in the air, not knowing whether you will be covered in goo, it's the thrill of the ride, getting your adrenalin pumping. Don't you just love it!! LOL
