Guidebook for Greater London
Food Scene
People travel from all over London to eat at this taverna-style restaurant; on a residential road east of Rye Lane, it's not a place you'd just stumble across. Albanian owner John Gionleka uses a charcoal grill to cook sweet prawn kebabs, courgette fritters and pork and lamb adanas with baba ganoush. Egyptian stuffed quail is served with roast aubergine, and a slow braised shoulder of Welsh lamb comes with coco beans and Charleston peppers. In short: it's worth the trip.

One of the best Italian restaurants in London. A locally loved Peckham spot that punches well above its weight, serving seriously good home-made pasta with simple ingredients: hazelnut, brown butter, Parmesan and sage; grilled squid, winter tomatoes, spinach and mint; fennel sausage and 'nduja. The menu, which changes seasonally, is scribbled on large chalkboards on the white walls of this Bellenden Road spot. Start with a short tumbler of Aperol Spritz and do save room for pudding of Torta Sbrisolona, an Italian almond cake, or homemade ice cream.

After a long wait, Burger worshippers in East Dulwich finally have a place to call their own. MeatLiquor arrived here in 2016 and judging by the regular queues outside, this meaty stalwart looks to be doing a roaring trade. With brashly-themed burgers, loaded fries and boozy shakes up for grabs, its offering is hardly subtle — who gives a damn when the patties are this drool-worthy.

Drinks & Nightlife
Spoiler alert: this is a story that involves you, a few buddies, and an industrially styled bar tucked under a Peckham Rye railway arch, with an ending that – after their notorious cocktail happy hour from 6-7 – you probably won’t remember. It’s been around for almost 15 years but the firepit out front and tasty burgers from local butchers Flock & Herd keep it a front runner.
