I still don't know why they relocated. Were they pushed?

They hadn't been there that long, just a few years (or am I imagining that?) - so maybe it was just an extra branch that didn't work out. Always seemed busy enough though.

Glad Camberwell Arts Festival is over. This year some wag appears to have covered bits of the rockery in Lucas Gardens with silver foil. I preferred the pink parking meter on Love Walk (long gone).
In other news, the newly opened wine and cheese place on Coldharbour Lane always seems empty when I pass by. The website is in need of an update, though their twitter feed suggests more action. Has anyone been?

Another coffee shop about to open on Camberwell Church Street, next door to Camberwell Superstore. Daily Goods coffee "established 2013". Anyone know anything about it?

iirc the guy who is setting it up used to run it as a cafe in a bike shop near soho square. Here's an interview about the new venture - aiming to have a "casual vibe" based on hanging around drinking mugs of black coffee.
There's also a newish place on Havil Street in the refurbished vocational college, the confusingly named Sun Café Peckham (it's really in Camberwell) which does pizza and at some point there will be 'The Butterfly' in the old town hall.

Apparently Costa Coffee was founded in Lambeth, just up the road.
Also there is a new cafe on Datchelor Place near the fish and chip shop - The Pigeon Hole: http://thepigeonholecafe.com/
"The idea for The Pigeon Hole is simple; to create a small but beautifully designed cafe that doubles as a second-hand furniture shop within the heart of south London’s Camberwell.
In essence it is interactive shopping. Everything you see inside – from the tables and chairs, to the artwork on the walls – is for sale, whilst the cafe will provide customers with the best of local food and drink, sticking to simple recipes with an aim to excite the taste buds."

I'd admit that this is probably the malicious part of me speaking, but anyone who uses a phrase like 'south London's Camberwell' should be publicly flayed (figuratively speaking!).
And 'recipes with the aim to excite the taste buds' just means 'food we hope will taste nice' - some claime.

At first I thought that sounded terrible but I read the interview and the guy sounds pretty decent.
Even in the year since I moved out of Camberwell it's changing so much - bike shops, third wave coffee shops

I popped by yesterday and said hello but the two women at the counter seemed more interested in chatting to each other, so I wandered off.
