Outstanding thai tapas. They don't take bookings though, you need to go there direct, if they don't have a table at the time you arrive, you'll be added to their wait list and they'll call you when your table is ready. You can always fill your time by going to one of the gastropubs nearby (I recommend the Montpelier), or go back to the flat - it's only 5 minutes walk between the two spots

Lovely little cafe just down the road. They do great breakfasts, lunches, cakes and coffee. And have divine bread from the Blackbird Bakery. Don;t settle for a table int he front, try to get one outside in the courtyard - you have to walk right through to the back to get there. (And yes, it's covered - to account for the colder rainier days London is known for)

It describes itself as pan-Balkan mezze and grill and was named one of Fay Maschler's best restaurants of 2013. The menu's constantly changing, but expect dishes such as grilled octopus or creamy Jerusalem artichoke with hazlenut butter. Food is absolutely oustanding. It's a little further out, about 15 minutes walk and a little off the beaten track, but most most definitely worth the effort. They do take bookings too. http://peckhambazaar.com/

A very buzzy place - it's food has been described as "Barcelona-meets-rustic-French tapas". They're open early from 7am and great for a coffee and croissant, very reasonably priced small plates at lunch, and evening times are super buzzy.

Definitely more of a pub than a bar, and a quintessentially english one. Independently owned and run. They do AMAZING pizzas. A rowdy live music scene on Friday nights and possibly Saturday nights too I think.

This is a gallery-cum-bar space and does very good, and surprisingly strong cocktails for the price at a gob-smacking £6 - touted as the best value cocktails in London. There is a street food van parked up outside for food, with vans and the cuisine on offer changing every few weeks/months. Only open Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays. http://peckhamsprings.co.uk/

The Review is fast becoming a Peckham institution and even hosts its own literary festival. This independent bookshop is run by novelist Evie Wyld (she was included in 2013's Granta Best of Young British) and focuses largely on art, design and architecture, although it has a choice selection of fiction and children's books as well.
