Lots of nice young white people too by the look of things
Yes seems to be more Surrey than Camberwell - no-one over 30 and no non-white people to be found and no indication of the constant stream of buses passing by

Thought I'd share this (will put on Brixton news too). The How Does It Feel to be Loved crew used to do their South London nights at Canterbury Arms in Brixton. Anyway, I love this night and am hoping they can 'prove themselves' and so continue to hold the night at The Crypt.
---------------------
Hello!
I'm very very pleased to announce that HDIF has found a new home south of the river, and it's at The Crypt in Camberwell. The venue couldn't be more HDIF - a jazz club in the crypt underneath St Giles' church on Camberwell Church Street, it's a beautiful, atmospheric, and ever so slightly eccentric space which feels like it could have featured on the second side of "Tigermilk". It's 150 capacity, so more of a Buffalo Bar style space then the Canterbury, with a cool dancefloor, lots of interesting nooks and crannies for chatting in, and a great private garden for the smokers.
We have been given TWO CHANCES to prove ourselves. First is Saturday October 3rd and then Saturday November 7th. After that, they'll see how the nights have gone and whether they'd like to make this a regular event. If you'd like to have HDIF south of the river, please support us on these two nights. I can't see many other decent options for a HDIF south, so if this doesn't work out, then I reckon that'll be that.
Guest DJ for the night is Chris Stride.
If you are coming on Saturday, if you could possibly come along earlier rather than later please, that would be fantastic - a jazz club is going to be used to people turning up earlier for gigs, so the sooner we have a nice crowd in the venue, then the happier everyone will be. First impressions always count, of course, and it would be great to start off with a big night.
Usual admission of £4 for members and £6 for non-members. The club will run from 9pm - 2am. Advance tickets are here WeGotTickets - Your Online Box Office - HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE LOVED? AT THE CRYPT - OPENING NIGHT!
Requests please! What would you like to hear on the night?
Plus!
Talking of nights in south London, our little sister club, Great Big Kiss, is holding another Halloween dance party. This year it's at the Windmill, back where we had the first HDIF soul and sixties night in 2009. There's more info about that here - great big kiss, saturday october 31st, the windmill, brixton, halloween special, london, motown, northern soul, girl groups, rock n roll club night
That's it for now. Have a great week, and hope to see you in our new venue on Saturday night!

The Camberwell Green improvement works are starting on Monday 5th October so the park will be closed till spring/summer 2016. The work involves landscaping, moving the play area, and a new market square. For the new market square they are pedestrianising the southern part of the road on the eastern side of the green. While the work is taking place the Saturday farmers' market will be at Datchelor Place - the newly pedestrianised bit outside the Pigeon Hole Cafe and Flying Fish. More info here: Camberwell Green | Camberwell Green | Southwark Council
Some good news: the new Camberwell library is set to open on 4 November - Camberwell Library set to open in November - Southwark News - only a year behind schedule and three years after Southwark Council Leader Peter Johns promised a new library by "autumn 2012" (CamberwellOnline Blog)

Theo's pizza place in Camberwell is now open. Peered through the window and they looked proper nice.
I think it's half-price food today too.

There looks like a really nice mural on a building behind The Joiners pub on Denmark Hill. Caught a glimpse of it when I went by but, like a tool, I didn't think to take a pic. Have a rubbish camera on my stupid old phone though so probably just as well.
Did a quick search here to see if anyone has mentioned it before but couldn't see anything.
This feels like a really pointless post. Sorry

No it's not that one, but I really like that one. Was not long ago restored after there was an explosion by it
Went by it today also and it looks great still.The one I saw was behind the Joiners pub past the end of Coldharbour Lane down a bit from GX Gallery. Will try to get a pic when I next go by

That mural is one of my fave things about Camberwell.

I'm really enjoying reading The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters - as it is set on Champion Hill in 1922.
Does anyone remember this from last year: Most expensive garage in Britain sold for £550,000
A planning application has been put in part demolish and build a 2 storey, 1 bedroom house: 15/AP/3663 | Partial demolition of existing vacant garage and construction of x1-bed, 2-storey house | GARAGE REAR OF 34 PECKHAM ROAD, LONDON, SE5 8QA
Looking through the documents, the initial plans were for a 3 storey, 2 bedroom house, but pre-planning feedback indicated that would be rejected so they reduced by 1 storey. Architects are Carl Turner who did Slip House in Brixton. I like the slatted timber design, but considering the garage cost £550k and will probably cost another couple of hundred to demolish and build the new house, I can't see them making much/any money on it as a 1 bed house (albeit a large one at 85sqm).

New café opening up on the corner of Camberwell New Road and Warner Road. Used to be Top Snaps and I thought they were just refurbishing.
Can't find any details on the new place/people. Anyone know anything about this? Could be really handy for me.
Also when did Eroma close and open as a Mediterranean something something, I forget what it's called now.
And the card shop in Butterfly Walk has closed now
On the plus side I've gone a few days now of not being asked if I have internet at home by Talk Talk zombies.
Not exciting news but it's Camberwell News innit
ETA: Sorry, I used the word "now" too much there. Will stop that now.

Hooray also for not being asked 'do you have Internet at home?' every time you use Butterfly Walk as a direct cut through from the bus stop avoiding the clogged bits of Camberwell Church Street.
In other good news, the cycle geek gatherings at Cycle PS have gone indoors for the winter and no longer take up the whole pavement outside.

The menu is markedly different from regular pub food though. It's not just priced for niceness, the menu changes significantly every day.
In other foodie news, here's a bit of background promo puffery about Theo (new pizza place by the Hermits Cave).
Also Mike (no Ollie) is running a competition asking for suggestions for a name for the new restaurant (win dinner for four). Opening menu appears to be a "small selection of charcoal-grilled meat, fish and vegetables" along with hand-made bread. Along with his oft-mentioned "seasonal foraged cocktails" and "natural wine" it sounds like a poncey version of FM Mangal with added home-brew.
I quite liked the original name of Queens shown in the drawing - it would have been good to reuse the name of the old nail shop as a link to the past. My suggestion would be 'Where's Ollie?' as, as others have noticed, he doesn't seem to feature at all except in the 'Mike + Ollie' name.
In other news I have read on Camberwellonline that the old House cafe/gallery will be reopening as 'Lumberjack' cafe - see bottom of this page: Communities - The Well Community Church . It is a joint venture between The Wells Trust and London Reclaimed which is a local charity training young people to be carpenters and furniture makers: London Reclaimed - bespoke furniture & reclaimed timber.
