I have to defend Rox Burger. It's a lovely, family friendly restaurant that isn't run by hipsters at all. And the burgers are delicious and not ludicrously priced. It's easily my favourite place to eat in Lewisham.Brioche buns? *CHECK!

You're a gentrification trailblazer. It's happened to me too. First Brixton, then Deptford. Gipsy Hill must be next.They are following me?

By more Shoreditch I think they mean more white. Is the model market where you buy models?

Nearly 15 quid for a burger and chips and a drink in zone 3.London is fucked.Brioche buns? *CHECK!

for those who don't know lewisham (or have only encountered it recently), the model market used to be somewhere between indoor market and very small shops - many catering for lewisham's ethnic minority communities in some way. i don't know how many of the shop keepers managed to find somewhere else to trade from...

I've just been looking at pictures of the place. Seems a very Pop Brixton kind of crowd now.

Its not great - a bit too cool and after a certain time you pay to get in!

If you havent yet, try dosa sambal which i think is opposite, youll be hard pushed to spend more than 15 for two - dosas are excellent.

Hardly getting over it.
Lewisham could barely make it as the OLD Shoreditch.

All of zone 3 will go the same way (gentrification more generally)

Please! Let them suck all the hipsters out of Brixton! You lot can have them for a while.
That's the old 'Black Market' or if you were from Eltham - 'Woggy Market'.

it used to be the only place in Lewisham where you could buy Caribbean food and hair products.

...isn't as good as Lewisham.
It's Zone 2/3 thank you very much!
The street food thing is awful, so expensive and hip. Very popular though.
Getting rid of the roundabout is a good move. The amount of new flats is an issue though, the bottom picture has been open for years but there's shed loads flying up everywhere, no doubt foreign owned and unoccupied.
Thankfully the hipsters are in Deptford, but that's another thread... Nothing hip in Lewisham other than that stupid street food thing.

semiotically superfluous
Looks not bad and I agree the prices are normal for that kind of place, but you are clueless as fuck if you think £10+ for a burger and chips is 'family friendly' for a typical family living around there.
I also heartily doubt that it has got flavours to compete with the lamb and aubergine curries at Dosa Sambal across the street (massive thali: £5).

I really enjoyed the normality of Lewisham during my time there - it felt like quite a steady, settled, working-class community.
It's not a culinary hotspot, but there are a number of gems - as well as Dosa Sambal, Everest Curry King has some fantastic stuff. It seems like there's a significant Sri Lankan community there, and there are a couple of other Sri Lankan places I've not tried.
Something Fishy is a quality chippy, with a decidedly un-London feel to it - feels more like the sort of place you'd get in a seaside town (which is a good thing in this context as far as I'm concerned).
There's also a Lewisham branch of dubiously-named Caribbean joint Cummin' Up - I've not been there, but their colleagues in New Cross do some great stuff.
