What about the real social issues of crime, reinforced poverty and lack of sustainement of basic social and economic needs of the politcally powerless. Why do we avoid these issues?

Redstar isn’t closing down. Still open every Friday & Saturday night and yes, Andy Bell (Erasure) will be DJ-ing on Friday September 9th and more of that to come too!

Don’t think the Red Star is closing just yet unless they have invited Andy Bell (Erasure) along for their farewell party on Sept 9th. By the way I saw Jenny Eclair outside the BRB last week, having a drink and a ciggie, she looked well happy.

I like Peckham Rye; fresh fish, meat, vegetables… were it not for the immigrant communities’ influence, it would be Just Another British High Street.

I think it has got a lot more local distinctiveness than many of the homogenized, bland suburbanized high streets in other parts of London (and the rest of the UK for that matter). Market days on Rye Lane in particular. And where else would you get the Dog Fancy Dress day?

Is it just me, I think Peckham looks like a perfectly normal london high street.

But how can that be? It's one of the World's Best Bars.

I remember some good nights in Red Star’s sister (or should that be brother) venue in Brixton, Dog Star… Perhaps it’s all a bit too 1990s now

I reckon the old folk in the Home next door are pleased, they can get some decent sleep now.
