Penge - the revival starts here

[Maggot]

There was a fire in Penge yesterday, was that part of the gentrification process?

 

[STFC]

Scorched earth policy?

The only bit of Penge I know is Penge East station, which is handy for getting home if I'm anywhere near Victoria.

 

[dolly's gal]

in what zone is penge please?

 

[Guineveretoo]

This reminds me of a need to have another South by South East drinks night. Is there a pub in Penge we can choose for it?

Yes, DRINKS! Not sure about Penge though

 

[STFC]

Zone 4.

Count me in.

 

[ChrisFilter]

in what zone is penge please?

Zone 4. The twilight zone. Yet only 20 mins from Victoria or London Bridge. That's how cool it is.

Not unless you want to buy black market meat or get beaten up for looking at someone's bird. Although The Bridge House Tavern is being turned into a gastropub with dodgy wallpaper if that suits.

As something of an expert on the matter, I can only suggest Weatherspoon's The Moon and Stars - next to Sainsbury's in the High Street.

I suggest that on the basis of saftey in numbers - it's 'kin huge and a 'safe haven', in the Bosnian sense.

 

[ChrisFilter]

Are you looking forward to being neighbours, L_C? I officially apologise for the sister comments all those months ago; as a gesture of friendship.

Yeah, I have been to that Wetherspoons, although only at lunchtime, I must admit.

If that is the only suggestion for our Reclaim Penge drinks, then that's what we shall do

My mum was from penge. She moved to Hackney. When it was much poorer than it is today.

Nuff said

 

[Guineveretoo]

I've done a drinking venue thread. Go vote!

And a drinking date thread here. Go vote there, too!

You must both pop round for tea as your in the near area like....

 

[ChrisFilter]

I'll have Earl Grey please

 

[Guineveretoo]

Thanks.

Can I have mine black with no sugar, please? Fruit infusion would be even better

Penge is a victim of its own name. I know, I live in Tooting. You mention you live in Tooting and everyone smiles patronisingly. You mention you live in Penge and everyone smiles likewise.

ChrisFilter we're here now . The High Street's not that grim! The Crooked Billet and the Pawleyne Arms are.... interesting. Contrary to RubyToogood's predictions five years ago it's not turned into Herne Hill yet. I quite like it so far.
