Prices a bit steep but trying to impress. Move? Same reason most people are here, it is cheap by compare. So we are stuck. You do get what you pay 4 I supposz
Saw a review of A&G in Evening Standard today. Or mabe yesterday. Man said the same - good food, sh**hole outside.
I dont think Camberwell Church Street or the town centre generally is any worse than lots of other places such as Brixton or other South or North London town centres I know of - thats not an excuse of course and not a reason why it shouldnt be better but if you look around there are lots of hidden gems in the side roads off Church Street and even on Church St itself.
So how can it be made better? Have you thought about getting involved in the local community?

blimey. hope everyone's alright.
there was a parked motorbike on fire, at the camberwell end of coldharbour lane yesterday too. don't know why but it looked really weird.
Some drunk bloke told me and pH that a building had collapsed, but it didn't look so serious when I walked by a few minutes later. Everything looked normal - aide from the road being closed off - and the houses along Church Street hadn't been evacuated: there were people watching from their windows. Someone said some masonry had fallen, but there was nothing obvious from the road. There was also some talk of a fire, but there was no sign of that either.

A 42 bus was proper fucked on Albany Road at the intersection with Thurlow Street this morning. Looked like it had t-boned something at speed - the front of the bus was caved in, windows smashed, and 20 feet of barriers on the park side of the road. No sign of the other vehicle. Police had Albany way closed from Wells Way to Bagshot Street.

I heard about this on the news. The bus hit a person who has since died.
Can't find a link.
E2A: It's on the front page of South London Press, but not on their website.
Agree - far better Sunday lunches at the George Canning, Bear, Cambria or Sun and Doves in my experience (although not tried Funky Munky, Hermits, Phoenix or Old Dispensary for lunch purposes)

Bastards now charging for car parking at Butterfly Walk car park, with resident scumbag in attendance to ticket anyone he fancies ticketing.
Pathetic little apologetic sign there from Morrisons saying they haven't yet sorted out the rebating system to reimburse their customers who park there. That should have been set up before parking charges were introduced.
I shall be complaining to their head office first thing in the morning.

It's in the shopping center by mcdonalds. Used to be somerfield (the somerfield over the road is still open)
Yes in the 'Butterfly Walk' shopping centre - it opened last July - see discussion then http://www.urban75.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=282931&page=3
The Somers across the road is going to be converted to a Co-Op at some point - they already sell Co-Op branded stuff
In response to AJ's original post I dont think the parking charges will actually have much impact - I bet the vast majority of people using the shops in Camberwell come by bus or walk as car ownership in the surrounding area is less than 40% of households. Indeed it might be argued that the charges will benefit the area as commuters and others wont use it as a free car park.
Apparently some undercover coppers were trailing some bloke who then got shot at with a MAC10 (known as a 'spray and pray') by 3 blokes in a car. Noone hurt, all nicked . . .
