Hi Tarot, Peckham is really not far to go for a Superdrug or Sainsbury's DKH has quite a large stock of toiletry type products. I like Sea Cow for fish and chips. And there's a toilet in Cafe Nero- I know only one but it's better than none.


I like the independent cinema idea but then again I don't mind going to Brixton and I really love The Ritzy. I think just more cozy type restaurants/bars that allow for a less in your face kind of atmosphere (not sure how to explain this better!) but then again that wouldn't cater for the families around here.


Also some cheaper places to eat and some kind of noodle/Vietnamese style restaurant would be amazing (for me!) and a Natwest (sick of the ridiculous queues in Peckham)

That sounds good, Noodle bar, and a cinema.

Most cimemas are quite small these days, one could be fitted in somewhere.

I heard a rumour they may have one at Crystal Palace, but I think that plan has been shelved now.

Things are changing in this borough, it used to be a sleepy little place once.

But I do think it will rival places like Camden, and markets like Greenwich.

Given time and new bussiness,s springing up.

Sometimes I wonder whether you do think, Tarot.


"That plan" has most definitely not "been shelved now", I can assure you.

Isn't that doubling up? I mean, it's having two places in ED where you can get your pet beaver stuffed...

Get a grip people - amongst all the unfeasible toss mentioned on here , a Cinema ?


you seem to think you are living in some kind of twisted Richard Curtis stytlised Urban Utopia, with Hugh Grant as a next door neighbour & That tiresome Gryff Rhys Jones sockpuppet as as stall holder on the NCR.


Its a scruffy South London Borough, surrounded by some of the worst poverty and depravation in Europe, not Notting Hill or Aldeburgh, however you view it.


Pfft

If would want to brave the " locals "***, then there are jewellers & a myriad of shops on the Rye lane that would be more than happy to change Your batteries



*** Now commonly heard ED spoken shorthand for the non white working classes.Not sneering racist though. Definately not.Us Guardian readers positively embrace diversity. Oh yes.

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4]
