Camberwell - the best bits?

[se5]

SE5 has covered most of it, though I baulk at calling the Sun & Doves good for food - in my experience it's over priced slop with atrociously rude service and annoying school dinners furniture.

Anyway don't forget Johnny's caff on Coldharbour Lane - best fry ups in the area.

Ruskin & Myatts Field parks are nice and great for the kids.

Have you been to the S&D recently? I agree it used to be a bit hit and miss but the food has improved greatly recently. The waiters also seem to have improved. I agree about Johnnies - far superior to Rock Steady Eddies if youre in the Coldharbour Road kind of area.

I add to my previous recommendations: the two 99p shops and the house and bay cafes. I would also add in the Fox on Hill Wetherspoons pub which has a pleasant garden and is dead cheap. Event-wise also the Camberwell Arts Festival is recommended.

Also I would add in the good transport links from Loughborough Junction which is on the edge of Camberwell - very handy for going South to places link Wimbledon, Sutton etc and on to Surrey and North to Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire

Thanks everyone... this is really helpful... I may well print this off -

The Silver Buckle closed down about two weeks ago - I'm not sure when it will reopen but potentially will be better (cant really be any worse). Redstar is also closed.

This shows for me a fatal misunderstanding of the role that pubs such as the Silver Buckle provide for the community.

With it open, and a known place for the local loons, it keeps them away from all the other nice places.

All post codes need a 'Mad' House.

What? Noodel City? Oh, the shame!

I refuse to set foot in that place until they fix their sign

That Greek Taverna place is really good I reckon.

music nights in the crypt of the church.
hummus from pauls olives
bread from sophocles bakers

Tadim. Pretty good for lunch..

I can second all these recommendations, although I haven't been to the Crypt for years.

The Sun and Doves. Seymours sandwich bar (near the Hermits Cave) and that Greek deli (Sophocles?) near there.

You need never go hungry in Camberwell.

A shame that Kennedy's has gone though.
