I just discovered this 'rave history walk' which is sadly fully booked. Looks like it's connected to an exhibition at South London gallery which is on for another few weeks
SHUT THE CLUB DOWN
1 OCT 2021 – 27 FEB 2022
FREE EXHIBITION
This display explores dance music and nightlife culture in 1990s Peckham and Camberwell through two venues: Peckham Lazerdrome and Imperial Gardens. Both clubs presented innovative solutions to the challenges of the time. Lazerdrome was one of the first nightclubs…

lazerdome was crackhead jungle madness and a risky night out by all accounts...i went to one of the last ones which was past peak dodge
went to a few things at Imperial Gardens, but the stand out was regular early Aba Shanti sessions, free on a Sunday IIRC with about 12 people in there and the lights on in full and no bar - loved that and miss it
 
There's a fancy bakery planned opposite the old town hall on Peckham Road. They hit their crowdfunding target the other day. One person claimed a £100 per head fish dinner (£700 total) :eek:
 
There’s a thing happening. I’ve lived long enough around here to wonder if I should go and ask them if they would be better off not doing this? I don’t hold out much hope for them.

Considering their other ventures, they are no doubt short of plenty of cash for marketing and promotional purposes. They are also pretty savvy/sneaky operators, they declared 'Peckham Springs' bankrupt at the start of the pandemic and closed owing plenty of people money, only to reopen the minute lockdown was over under the new name 'Peckham Riviera', complete with £6 pints and £11 cocktails in plastic cups.
 
I thought they did a bad job of showing they were actually open and their offer. A pity but too small and too niche to survive without a big window display.

My guess is the prices in the new, widely marketed welcomed 'bougie' grocery will be set along the same lines. Wonder how much the grocery boxes will be, given that £5 will be donated to St Giles Trust for each sold. These guys are also directors of the Camberwell Arms.

Yet again this lot only put a woman on the programme alongside a man who is really the featured guest. But she's pictured so it looks more balanced.
Last time it was a woman with her dad who's a long standing local shopkeeper.

II'm not a fan of this whole branding campaign.
