Bellenden Belle Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 The dim sum is absolutely fantastic - don't be misled by its rather plain interior, it's well worth a visit. And the owners are lovely - I'd love to see this do well.

david_carnell Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Dim Sum is next door to Fenton Walsh....so just across the road from the Prince Albert. Used to be a sandwich/cafe place.Can second BB's opinion. Pork char sui(sp?) buns was superb.All very reasonable. 4 of us stuffed our faces for just over ?10 a head.

taper Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 What's the bike shop look like? I saw the dread words "custom bike" on the sign, which suggests it's for fixie/bullhorn/fakeenger types.

Char siu buns are one of my favourites too. I'm pretty sure most dim-sum is just the same mass-produced frozen stuff, so it doesn't vary much from place to place. But that's not a problem when it's cheap and hits the spot.

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I spoke to the owners of the dim sum place the other day: absolutely charming people, I hope to eat there soon and wish them all the best.Threads is brilliant - lovely, young girl with fab second hand clothes and some whizz vintage pieces. My dog was welcomed inside too which is very refreshing. Cheaper than ED Warehouse (which I love) and a great addition to Bellenden Road.

plimsoul Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 a young man from brooklyn was over recently as he was working for us. he'd been staying in hackney and shoreditch the 2 months he was in town. when he headed over for dinner (se5) he asked "where is peckham from here?" as i pointed over the railway track i asked him why he was interested. apparently peckham is piquing interest in hackney and is seen as the 'new place' where lots of interesting things are going on :)i'm sure that this will upset some but i think that it's great.

Jeremy Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I agree, it does sound great - but I'm curious to find out what these interesting things are...

Ted Max Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Students in trilbies drawing on the walls of abandoned portakabins. That's the sort of thing we're after, I think. The trendies are moving in though, and the scene is moving on. Think of the Meatwagon/easy trajectory and extend to the creative output of Camberwell CofA and Goldsmiths.

Jeremy Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I was assuming that the young hipsters would look for things like bars/clubs, art, live music, interesting places to eat, etc. Although I can see the attraction of drawing on the portakabins, and not to mention the tent on top of the multi-storey serving campari and fish.So now that Peckham is so obviously pass? (even the Americans are in on it), where next? Penge?

Brendan Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Interesting things have always gone on in Peckham. There is something curiously occult about Penge.

Ted Max Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Come on now. Here's a list of Peckham (and one or two Dulwich and Camberwell) art galleries - and I've attached a map as well, because I want people to think I don't spend all my time watching repeats of Rosemary & Thyme on ITV3. In fact I also spend some of it pretending to know shit about the Peckham art scene. http://www.southlondonartmap.com/galleries/area/peckham(Brendan, all the original Edwardian bedrooms in Penge are designed so the marital beds would lie exactly in line with the rising sun on the Summer solstice. And Parish records show that during the years of the first world war, not a single male baby was baptised in the area.)

beauty@home Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The new vintage shop is a great addition to the street. Anyone know what is happening with the place next to the dog grooming?
