Peckham news, rumours and general chat

sad to see that the Carlton Tavern is no more. I walked past earlier and it was boarded up with discarded pub furniture outside. Used to be a nice little pub that.:(
 
Good to see the thread bumped^ Shame it's not happy news.

There's something on Goose Green next Sunday- http://www.dulwichfestivalfair.co.uk/ The website doesn't say much but apparently the beer tent is done by the East Dulwich Tavern & they normally have some decent ales on.
 
the fair is OK if the weathers good, I may get a stall to see if I can sell some of my Soviet and Cuban posters.probabaly a bit late now tho
 
Just bring them along, and set up stall from a blanket or trestle table.

dbd- weather is key for us too. :)
 
I would possibly be. Depends if I can get time off from childcare.

Pedantic point- Not really a pub, is it.
 
It looks exactly like the summer beer gardens you get in Japan on top of department stores. I will have to visit so I can have a little nostalgic weep.
 
The Mayor of London and Southwark Council have announced plans for a major revamp of Peckham Town Centre:

The proposed £3-5m project will be funded by the Mayor’s £70m Regeneration Fund, set up to help repair the damage caused to high streets and town centres in the August riots, £20m of which was secured from central Government and the rest from City Hall.

Working together, the Mayor, Southwark Council and its partners are developing a proposal that will help Peckham Town Centre benefit from extension of the East London Line and see improvements to the platforms and facilities at Peckham Rye station as part of the National Station Improvement Programme. Highlights include:
Creating a new, high quality public square outside Peckham Rye station - by clearing and demolishing the arcade buildings in front of the station and installing the electricity and lighting infrastructure needed to allow flexible use of the area, for example to locate outdoor market stalls.
Transforming the plaza to the rear of Peckham Rye station - by relocating existing light industrial businesses and refurbishing the railway arches to a high standard to stimulate investment and support growth of the night-time economy.
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: “The plans put forward for Peckham Rye are hugely exciting and have the potential to boost the local economy and bring great benefits to everyone living in the area. I really hope the community get behind these plans and give them the support they need to become a reality.”

Councillor Fiona Colley, cabinet member for regeneration at Southwark Council, said: “Peckham's Rye Lane was once one of London's premier shopping streets featuring department stores like Jones & Higgins, but sadly it's become rather run down. For instance Peckham Rye Station is a beautiful Victorian Grade II listed building, but it's hidden away from view behind a tatty shopping mall. In recent years we've been working with local residents' group, Peckham Vision, to improve the station starting with the old waiting room. What we really want to do is knock down the mall and create a fantastic new public square in front of the station - a grand entrance is just what Peckham needs to welcome residents and visitors alike and to help kick start the local economy."
 
Peckham update tonight

a first for me - a couple dumpster diving behind Iceland at the station :(

Bar story is full of twats:mad:

The bakery on Bellend road gave me free luscious bread as I was walking past, rather than dump it as they were closing:)

more Peckham happenings as they break....
 
RIP The Bun House.

When I walked past there on Friday morning they were ripping it's insides out. The fella said it's going to be a shop with flats above.

:(

Damages done

One of the two greggs got burned out
While across the street, no riots needed, a deranged child beater church ripped to fuck some really ace brickwork of a 30s building and are now actively seking vulnerable types to fleece, all with the smug moptops blessing from a bland fronted 'Hope Centre'
Hope some of them 'help' his offspring
 
Just seen the new train tables for Peckham Rye and am not impressed. The last train from Victoria to Peckham Rye and Nunhead is 7.39pm and no service on Sundays. There seems to be an increased service from Blackfriars which means a tube journey that my season ticket doesn't cover. Can only think they are trying to send people east for the Olympics
