There are plenty of veggie options too.
The Tiger is a great place to chill out with a cool drink, wake up with a coffee, or cheer on the team with mates.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33994 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33545 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33545 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32816 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32816 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32024 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32024 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32023 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32023 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31906 The fish is fresh and comes from sustainable sources & British seas. The supplier is F.C Sopers fishmongers in Nunhead (www.fcsoper.com), a local institution since 1898.
The meat is free-range and organic. The chicken, pork & lamb comes from a small farm, Gillwing, in Sussex (www.gillwing.co.uk/farm) and is delivered by Andrew, the farmer, who makes the sausages all by hand.
The opening times seem to vary, the staff are exceptionally friendly and continued to pour the beverages long after midnight on a Thursday, as everyone was still having a good time and reluctant to leave!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31906 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31457 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31457 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31376 Visitors are tempted inside this former electrical and hardware store by the beautiful furnishings, comfortable sofas, giant sanded dresser behind the bar and the collection of paintings by local artists adorning the walls. This cafe and art gallery hosts different exhibitions and private views every month. The cakes are all home-made and the menu includes some mouth-watering items such as smoked haddock, baby spinach and lemon fishcakes. The cafe/gallery opened in November 2010 and French manager Julie plans to incorporate a large deli, with meats, cheeses, home-baked bread and a vast range of tempting treats and there's an arts and crafts fair every Saturday morning on the leafy terrace, over the road from the Common. It's a wonderfully sophisticated, cultured yet friendly place to hang out in south Peckham.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31376 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24117 The gallery has a small but quite up-market café and there’s a very good nearby pub, the Crown and Greyhound.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24117 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22911
There are just 10 places per evening (book in advance!) so it feels pleasantly intimate - and you really do get to learn about what you're drinking.

All in all, a great, unusual night out in London.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22911 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20980 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20980 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20909
I have been on a number of occasions and never had a bad time, mostly due to the music! They play a variety of genres, from jazz to hip-hop to blues, and for some of the bigger nights you may have to book in advance, but it's definitely worth it. Drop by if you fancy a night of relaxing with a few beers and some melodic jazzy tones.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20909 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20814 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20814 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20269 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20269 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20215
Delicious cocktails start at £5 and it's easy to lose track of time and work your way through the whole menu. Tea For Two (£10) comes served in a chunky pattered teapot with matching cups and saucers and - be warned - a generous amount of alcohol. The perfect way to start an evening, or begin the end of an evening, depending on how well your date went...]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20215 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20195 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20195 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20193 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20193 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20192 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20192
