Camberwell news and chitter-chatter

Helicopter taking off / landing from the new helipad on top of Kings at the moment. First time I've seen this. Looks like they are doing test runs as it's landed and taken off a couple of times.

I hope that it will lead to the reopening of Camberwell Station which apparently was shut to passengers in 1916.

Not without a drastic change to the train service, which is already shoulder-to-shoulder at Loughborough Junction.

Yeah with that crane still there there's no way it's cleared for regular flights.

Went to the Hermit's Cave after a particularly stressful day at work. Great pub. It's a proper old school normal pub. Great beer, fire and comfy seats. Long may it continue

Camberwell's still got a couple of non-twatified boozers. For now. The lucky bastards

There's a banner up outside the hospital saying the helipad is now open, though.

I just went to the little Tesco on Camberwell New Road. Ahead of me in the queue was one of the members of staff there; he was buying a box of Quality Street. Then I heard someone crying behind me. It was an elderly man who was trying to pay the man for the Quality Street, while the staff member was explaining that no, it was his (elderly man's) birthday and that he'd got them for him as a present. He said yes, it was his birthday and that he was from Germany and that he had no family. I wished him happy birthday and he smiled and cried. Others did. I should have got him a present but it didn't occur to me until after I'd left in tears. Much as I hate Tesco, the staff in that shop are really fucking lovely.

Renewed appeal following Camberwell murder

What's happened above Rock Steady Eddie's?? There's a space! Did they part demolish it?

 

[drachir]

I'm sure you'll all be pleased to hear that I've moved further down into Camberwell proper, thus ending the debate of whether I live in Camberwell or Denmark hill.

There's never been anything above Eddie's (apart from the sign) has there?

There's no sense of mystery if you make it so straight forward.

Oh! It just looked really odd/different. I've been going to camberwell for years and years and have never noticed that space before. Must have had my blinkers on.

Finishes at 4, might have been an idea to post that a bit earlier

lol, there's always the open artist weekend

Are there any laundrettes about that are open in the evenings? My new place doesn't have a washing machine, and my flatmate apparently has enough clothes that she hasn't needed one yet. One came up on Google, but the opening times say until 7 and the reviews are all people complaining it's not open even that late.

I'm a few doors down from Love Walk dry cleaners, but not sure if they do general laundry... and don't want to be a nob and use Laundrapp.

If you can be arsed to come to Tulse Hill we have about 100! And put a bet on while you're here and eat some fried chicken all of which we have in abundance. Tulse hill is old school.

This has been bothering me. I looked the other day and I don't recall seeing it so clear up there. There has to me something missing, I thought. Tidied up a bit maybe?
Checked on street view back to 2008 and it looks the same.
Very odd! It really does seem more open and suchlike.

My heart goes out to all locals:

We’re pleased to announce that Borough Market based British charcuterie experts Cannon & Cannon will launch their first dining venture, NAPE, on Camberwell Church Street in February 2017. The cured meat bar will be another addition to the burgeoning foodie hub that is Camberwell Church Street, located close to The Camberwell Arms and Silk Road.

"burgeoning foodie hub"

London's meat fetishism is out of control.

 

[editor]

London's meat fetishism is out of control.

Here's the whole press release. It's going to be a "casual but stylish south London joint".

Nape by Cannon & Cannon to launch in Camberwell, February 2017

“Nape”:

1. The back of a neck.

2. The English name for coppa, a traditional cut of Italian pork salami, made from the dry cured muscle running from the neck to the 4th or 5th rib of the pork shoulder.

3. A cured meat bar, bottle shop and deli from British Charcuterie company Cannon & Cannon launching in February 2017 on Camberwell Church Street.

Nape is the first site from the team behind Borough Market based British cured meat curators Cannon & Cannon.

The cured meat bar will be a casual but stylish south London joint where guests can come for a snack, glass of wine and selection of charcuterie, or stay all night feasting on the extensive range of cured British meats.

Nape will open initially as an informal pop-up between 8-24 December, offering a selection of cured, air-dried and smoked meats, along with carefully curated list of wine and beer, which will serve as taster before the site opens in full in early February 2017.

The menu will be simple and largely meat focused. Many platters and plates will let the the likes of Hackney-made Fennel and cubeb pepper salami and Gloucester Old Spot loin speak for themselves. There’ll always be a plain but outstanding plate of House Nape on offer.

Other meats will be embellished and enhanced for interest. For example, expect: Cured, air-dried West Country beef with hazelnuts, rapeseed oil and tarragon; Port and juniper cured, air-dried and smoked mutton with pickled walnuts; plus British ‘nduja and London honey on toast.

Smaller items to pick at include Pork and fennel salami from East Sussex; Duck, pork and Sichuan pepper sausages; and Veal, lemon and thyme sausages, both made in Monmouthshire, along with smoked almonds, pickles and a Bread Ahead bread basket.

The bar will also offer toasties, such as Welsh sobrasada, cow's curd and pickled fennel and Wiltshire ham with Keen’s cheddar and leeks. Other dishes such as Shaved fennel and tarragon, Bitter leaf salad and Curd and herb oil will also be available, with Bread Ahead supplying doughnuts for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Nape will have a selection of excellent wines on tap from O.W. Loeb, plus a variety of low intervention ‘natural’ wines and ever changing list of specials from Les Cave de Pyrene and Indigo Wine, alongside a carefully selected list of beers, many of them brewed within London.

The design will be paired back and simple - the ground floor room will provide space for around 45 people in a mixture of booths, bar stools and standing room. There will also be a downstairs tasting room accommodating 12-15 people, open to all when the bar is busy, as well as being available for tastings, events and private bookings.

Many of the meats will be available to takeaway, sliced to order. Refillable takeaway bottles will be available for the wine, and many of the beers will also be available to takeaway. A small retail section will feature goods sourced from renowned local suppliers such as Vadasz Pickles, Bread Ahead and Paxton & Whitfield cheese.
