The man who writes the history books on Peckham, and is the editor of The Peckham Society News (which last year came second in a national magazine award for locally produced magazines), Mr John Beesley, lives near Copleston Road. If he doesn't know, I don't know who will, except for people who know, that is... www.peckhamsociety.org

Copleston Road is named after my great grandmother, Dame Eliza Copleston. The road was named after her by the man who built it. She was a great beauty of her day, and Lord Michael of Popadopalot became completely transfixed by her enormous eyes and the perfect shape of her ankle. It caused a terrific scandal at the time and is best left alone as she was a married lady with two young children at the time...


Lord Plopalot's behaviour was a complete disgrace I have heard, and I believe that he was run out of town by my grandfather. He is rumoured to have eventually made a fortune selling hair tonic before being strung up by the itinerants!

    • I must say I was excited to see Turkish restaurant making it's appearance on Lordship Lane again. After Hisar gone it was hard to find good, quality Turkish cuisine around.  I went to Love Dulwich with my family to try it. And we weren't disappointed! Amazing. Lovely portions, tasty and reasonable priced.  Will be back! 🙂
    • Just did a post it’s called What Mother Made - mother & kids boutique 
    • What Mother Made - which is a zero waste, London hand made sustainable clothes shop for Mothers & kids - think it’s a bit like JoJo
    • Woohoo !  Thanks, yes, I also thought maxxi would win it as the final matches looked like comfortable wins for Ireland, England and France, so any chance of winning would come down to the lottery of closest to the actual points difference. Thank goodness for maxxi and his leftfield predictions 🙃 I once enjoyed a Feb long weekend in Rome with work colleagues, a good time to go as there are less tourists around so minimal queuing to see all the sights. On the Saturday we found out that Roma were playing at home, so we took a bus to see if we could get in, and we could. Half-time refreshments were...mini pizzas !... overpriced and undercooked so felt right at home... 😁
