Talking of colour...is 'Sunshine House' really an appropriate name for the huge black monstrosity that is the new Child Development Centre on the Peckham Rd. I couldn't help but laugh at the irony of the name when the sign outside was revealed.

Not for vertigo sufferers or mobility impaired. Seems to be empty above the third floor and you climb up through huge triple height spaces on a fire escape style staircase. Slots are not glazed so wind whistles through and everything is covered in pigeon droppings. Amazing views from the top though. I went up the tower in 2001 (i think).

You get the leaflet from libraries or go to the website for details. Anyway, you just turn up - the iron spirals stairs are narrow and covered in pigeon poo - but you can see Windsor Castle.

Not for people who have vertigo or impaired mobility. The tower seems to be empty after about the thrid floor and has double/triple height internal spaces within. The view from the top is spectacular as you would expect. The same year Southwark Council opened Peckham Neighbourhood Housing Office (housed within the North Peckham Estate before it was demolished). I didn't go to that.

But I have had to experiment until I've found a couple of dishes that are good, and now I always have those. It is limited I suppose. And their coffee is instant, which is a crime. I'm curious to try Eastern Eye after the recommendation above now. I did the Saly Army HQ one Open Weekend many years ago. I'm ashamed to say I can't remember much about it now. We had a tour and a talk I think. I've got a niggling feeling that there was some reason we couldn't go up the tower. How crap that I can't remember. Do you need to book for it, Alan Dale? Thanks for computer tips. I'm going to try Rockit... I like Hoa Viet. But I have had to experiment until I’ve found a couple of dishes that are good, and now I always have those.

Anyone going to climb up the tower at William Booth? Anyone done it before willing to give me the lowdown on how the whole thing works? Open house weekend on Sept 14th.

Anyone done it before willing to give me the lowdown on how the whole thing works?

I also like the Silver Buckle though. You might call it undiscerning I just call it a positive outlook. I like both Hoa viet and Buddha Jazz.
