One for rooftop dwelling cocktail slurpers
Peckham’s Bussey Rooftop Bar is open for winter with a makeover, DJs, food and cocktails

It is bewildering how

A) the cocktails at this place cost £9.50

and

B) they cost more than the 'main meals' on their menu.

Is Peckham Rye nearing peak gentrification?

'I went to Peckham's Bussey rooftop bar and was ripped off with a terrible £9.50 cocktail in a plastic cup'

 

[editor]

I was in Peckham yesterday and the speed of the gentrification happening there was quite depressing. There's still enough good/non twatty stuff there to make it worth a visit but it's certainly hurtling along the same kind of path Brixton did 15-odd years ago.

Its good to see someone speaking out about getting ripped off in these places. But as the author pointed out, there is no shortage of people queuing up to happily be shafted for the privilege of drinking a laughable drink in a multi storey carpark.

Run by the clowns who turned a rent free prime location in Brixton into a perennial loss maker!

We saw a table of four get a bottle of wine delivered, before two minutes later, being escorted out as their time had clearly run out. Ouch.

I would say it's much closer to Brixton already, no? Certainly hipsters, house prices, trendy wine bars etc have all been there a few years now.

Yes, but there's still plenty of local businesses on the main drag, and all the coffee chains haven't moved in yet.

 

[pbsmooth]

fair enough. won't be long I'm sure.

This weekend: Grab a bargain at the Peckham Salvage Yard, this Sunday, 16th Jan 2022

 

[GarveyLives]

Background:

Teenager 'raped by two men' near Peckham Rye station last night (13 January 2022)

Police still pleading for help with Peckham rape, with no arrests nearly a week on

 

[BoxRoom]

I think there’s been a death at the leisure centre. Loads of police and an ambulance. Onlookers claiming someone died in the pool. I can’t see any info on this anywhere.

 

[not-bono-ever]

I dunno

XR have been camping on Rye Common for a few days, they're doing this next week.

Anyone remember the Iranian embassy siege in 1980? One of the six terrorists wasn't killed by the SAS, and he ended up living in Peckham. Iranian embassy siege terrorist 'living on benefits in Peckham'

The tabloids photographed him there in 2017. Caution, Sun link: Terrorist jailed for part in Iranian embassy siege living cushy life in Peckham

I wonder if he's still there?

 

[not-bono-ever]

He’s hardly going to welcomed in Iran

 

[David Clapson]

He’s hardly going to welcomed in Iran

Well, quite. I was also wondering whether he's safe from the regime in Peckham. Maybe he would have needed to move elsewhere in the UK after being outed by the tabloids.

'I went to an old fashioned boozer in Peckham and felt like an Only Fools extra'

I decided to head south for a pint, and it felt just like the 80s sitcom
