Food Scene
I Go Chop does something completely new for Nigerian food in the area, which is to serve it in a thoroughly modern takeaway restaurant.
We love their tomato-rich Jollof rice and satisfying beef stew, which comes either as it is or folded up into a ‘Nigerian burrito’.
If you like heat, get their house-made hot sauce – it’s punchy alright, but the flavour is exceptional too.
They also sell boozy slushies, which are packed with artificial colourings and alcohol – we’re into that.

It’s a good job pizza cooks in minutes because the demand for tables at Theo’s is incredibly high. We’ve loved them from the start for their dedication to the specific Neapolitan style (there’s actually a strict definition set out in an 11-page document by the Associazone Verace Pizza Napoletana).
The quality of ingredients is excellent, with Strianese San Marzano tomatoes and their own Camberwell scotch bonnet ‘nduja (made in collaboration with The Camberwell Arms over the road), topping the pizzas.
The menu is short and sweet, and there are no bad choices. As well as the pizzas, we love the mortadella with gnocco fritto, which are small, puffy fried breads from Emilia Romagna.

Lumberjack took over the space that was once House gallery and transformed it into another succulent-strewn coffee shop. We like it best for slices of squidgy, iced carrot cake and huge wedges of towering sponge topped with crazy arrangements of sweets and biscuits from Cat Food Cakes in Lewisham.
It’s a nice light room and generally quiet on weekdays, so you can happily bed in and bust through those e-mails. To be honest, one of those humungous cake slices will easily last a couple of hours.

Drinks & Nightlife
Stormbird specialises in craft beer with a staggering range of options to choose from so be warned, it will take a little while to absorb them all.
We love their hand-drawn pump clips and the all-round vibes, including the fact that they’re relaxed about people spilling out onto the pavement at the side. Despite the traffic, it’s a lovely spot when all the doors are flung open in summer.

The Crooked Well is popular for dinner and drinks but we've never had a consistently good meal there, preferring to pop in for a martini every now and then in their bar area.
