Only open in summer, this is the best view of London. Worth checking out, despite the crowds.

Nice bar close to my house and next to the bus stop. It's quite busy with students from Camberwell College of the Arts in the evening. Friday night is a good night to go as there is a 2 for 1 special offer on the beer. They also make decent pizza and garlic bread.

My favourite local pub. It can get pretty loud at the weekend but this is a true London pub experience. There is a lot of seating outside on sunny days. Also great for Sunday roast!

Opposite Bar Story, it functions as a gallery-cum-bar space and is nice and buzzing at the weekend. There's sometimes a street food van parked up outside to keep you well-fed.

Free museum next to my house. It's quite small and can be done in an hour. Some exhibitions are random, others are interesting. There is a nice cafe / restaurant inside.

Food Scene
This is the closest restaurant to my flat and also one of the best in Peckham. It is extremely popular so recommend booking if you want a table at a decent time. The menu is South Indian and changes all the time but I usually go for a Veg Thali and a paratha.
