Would second the Coal Rooms. Literally had one of the most delicious meals of my life there. Though you do have to practically step over lots of homeless people on the way out (it's right in the station) which makes you feel a bit wretched when you're stuffed to the gills with beautiful food...

Voodoo Ray was a disaster when we went in the first week. Nowt wrong with a few teething problems but it was the shrug of the shoulders that got me, the long queues and the poor information on the menu (most things were off). Only stayed because it was half price. Anyway, trendy place, will be successful, what do I an old timer know?


The taco place next to the pub is good, but not up market.


My recent experience is that everything is booked well in advance.


Of course the Peckham Levels is the place to be - so successful that they were running out of food on opening weeks (but far more forgivable than Voodoo)


Bar story makes sense but don't think does food late, and the Brick Brewery is Ace but being refurbed I think and again doesn't do late food.


I am known for jibes at LL expense but on this occasion justified. There is a separate question about lack of diversity in the restaurants in what still is a diverse area but that is for another thread.

Why are you proud of only going in McD's for one purchase of a tea? I am not a fan boy, but I recognise that its size and influence allows it to preach best practice, in terms of training, organic/local (ie. British) sourcing, consistency of standards, etc. etc. I have never had a bad time in McD's and often I am pleased with its food, its staff and its standards. (I go about four or five times a year, mainly for breakfast, FWIW.)

Back on track, I think Franklin's has to be the standout place in and around EDF-Land.

Cultural imperialism. I am sure you can say the same about Starbucks, Pret and all the rest. What gets me is the brand loyalty (or perhaps it is simple familiarity), we have to have Pret's on either side of the street to save people having to cross the road. Anyway it has its uses, in Budapest where I struggled to get a decent cup of tea and needed a wee. I am sure there are plenty of counterarguments but la la le la la, I am not listening.


Now where can I best buy that specialist gadget. No I don't want to go to the specialist shop when I can get it from Amazon....

Over attentive with me if anything and quiet when I went for a takeaway and pint at the bar there :)


I don't go anywhere when they've just opened - not an early adopter of restaurants.

    • Just in case you do get a cheque you can pay it into your Monzo account or similar by taking a photo of the cheque in the app v easily.  I know my bank's app didn't work but that's probably the exception.  I have to say that if and when people gift me money in any form I'm always really appreciative and never get irritated.  But for those that are not tech savvy of whatever age, brain power or other reason, a face to face encounter may be preferable but becoming increasingly impossible so that company profits can be increased. 
    • I'm in my early 40s and I am not sure anyone (aprt from HMRC) has sent me money in cheque form for at least 20 years.  I would be slightly irritated to get a cheque as I would have to find time to pay it in.  I can well imagine a young adult being pretty baffled by a cheque.  Many don't even bank with places that have physical branches.
    • I’m looking for a secure car parking space to rent long term. Ideally it would be underground. This is for parking a car not for general storage.  Thanks. 
    • Thanks kipper - thought they were a lot more expensive than that - just what I was looking for having recently moved to the country.
