I'm never going to say which side of the Thames I love best, there's good and bad bits for both south and north and I've lived in both areas on and off for 6 years. (actually yeah it's north) BUT Peckham is really creative and there's loads of good stuff on all the time, Franks has closed now for the winter which is a shame as I'd happily be up there all year round but I've spied a good new thing coming up...

















BUSSEY - open studios in December looks good.
AND I had dinner here the other night in Campberwell and it was DELISH!

Over in Deptford is the big red pizza bus, vrroooom vroom beep beep... It's a bus, it's red and it serves pizzas - hooray!



 This is not me in the picture, I'd never laugh in the face of pizza... and I didn't write this: "Quite how a No. 30 double decker ended up in Deptford is anyone's guess - Under the long concrete curve of an elevated section of the DLR, and with an unloveable portion of Deptford Creek tucked mercifully out of sight, it's a surprisingly convivial spot, in part due to the boss who, despite coming across as a little otherworldly, is very friendly and thoroughly content with his eccentric operation.
What of the comestibles? Drinks, heavily limed mojito (£5) and in a small kitchen beside the bus, is pizza and a few salads
There are seats and tables inside the stranded bus, of course, but also plenty more on the decking outside. Some sofas have a little shelter against sun and rain, as well as low tables that encourage poor posture among those nodding to a soundtrack of Billie Holiday, Sade and Depeche Mode."
