A recently opened gallery and cafe located almost opposite Camberwell Art College and a great place to chill out of a morning.
From the outside, along the vaguely grim Peckham Road, it looks a bit bleak and industrial inside but the welcome is really warm and there's free WiFi all day, cocktails, snacks and a licensed cafe and bar.
On Thursdays there are introductory food and drink offers, such as a buy one get one free 12" pizza, which can't be bad.
Conveniently close to the super cool South London Gallery and also supportive of The Sassoon Gallery (www.thesassoongallery.co.uk) NewGallery London is THE place to be seen on the Peckham Road.

I've just got back from the funky jumble sale, which takes place at the NewGallery on the third Saturday of every month. The somewhat cavernous, industrial space was packed with students, arty types and bargain hunters rummaging through an assortment of retro clothes, wacky shirts, grannie cardies, t-shirts, jewellery and the odd junk shop treasure. Some Camberwell Art School types from over the road were doodling with water colours, beer was supped from bottles and a selection of cakes, pizzas and other taste treats were wafting enticing savoury aromas across the room. It's THE hip place to hang out and be seen on the Peckham Road on a sunny Saturday afternoon
