It represents the accepting, diverse, trendy, arty place that Peckham has become. A bit gritty, but authentic hip london without too much pretense--friendly and accessible. Great Pizza and good beer. If the sun is shinning get there before 6pm as cool londoners flock here after work to enjoy the view

Try a boat down the river! You can use an oyster card on it, we took it from Vauxhall to greenwich and then had a good lunch at the Trafalgar Pub, right on the river, a good way of seeing parts of London from the river.
