Good on you for doing something rather than some who would prefer to complain about what others are doing. Enjoyed the read and look forward to seeing more of the meals from the area. There's are some great substack newsletters out there for local news and exploration. Love to see it.

Had a great roast there last week. We got a walk-in but were very early (1230) otherwise needed bookings. Most dishes were outstanding, would have loved the chicken to have more seasoning. Overall, seems great.

We use Virtuo when we go away for a few days, really nice cars (Merc GLA; BMW 1) that are new and clean. They can drop off the car to your house (or street) and pick it up at the end - again, not for a single day, but we tend to go for 3/4 days. Not the cheapest but competitive and for the great cars - we like it. There is also pick-up from ncp near Guy's Hospital. Here's a £30 off referral https://tinyurl.com/virtuoED if you're interested (yes I get that too). I recently used Zip car for a daily rental- was more expensive than virtuo rate (though local ED pickup was a plus) - but a 70k mile clapped out MG was a pretty terrible experience - squealy breaks, no suspension, the leather'ish drivers seat threadbare on right side. Surprised any car rental company could keep vehicles on the road that long.

Re dogs: Goose Green is fully fenced - plenty of dogs. While Peckham Rye isn't fully fenced, it is very large - so if your dogs like to run, but will come back when called they can get a lot of runaround there (again plenty of dogs), and as a Melbournite - you can barrack for the SE London Giants aussie rules team there too. As an aussie now in ED a few years, love the area.

Community fibre weren’t available when we moved but as soon as BT contract is up will be moving to them. Heard only good things.

The Completist in Copeland Park has a diligent black and white worker.

Been using butter and crust for about 6 months. Really good milk. Great bread and easy way to schedule Monmouth coffee beans. Has been great. Would recommend.
