It's impressive skyline makes it a firm favourite with Peckham locals and it's also a great spot to unwind and watch the sunset over the city. Grab a drink or snack for an affordable price whilst staring in awe at the beauty of London. Sounds perfect right? Be sure to check it off your “must do” list in the summer.





3) PECKHAM LEVELS

Peckham Levels is set within a converted multi-story car park filled with a choice of restaurants, eateries, artistic spaces and a bar with some sensational views of London. You'll be spoilt for choice with food options ranging from bold Korean Fusion flavours to American-style comfort burgers, to authentic Italian pizzas.

We think it's the perfect place to start a night out with food and drinks, before heading off to Frank’s for a cocktail on the rooftop. 



4) FOUR QUARTERS ARCADE BAR

Situated on Peckham’s bustling Rye Lane, Four Quarters prides itself in being London’s first arcade bar. Boasting five original arcade cabs from the early 80’s up to the 2000’s, it has a cosy upstairs room with 10 retro consoles (open Fri-Sat) and a hidden basement cocktail bar and club space called ‘The Confession Box’ (open Thurs-Sat).

After you've gamed until your heart's content, Four Quarters' kitchen is open from Tuesday to Saturday serving US inspired grill including hearty hot-dogs, loaded fries and grilled cheese. Fans of craft beer, whisky and the 1980s are sure to love this hotspot.



5) THE RYE WAX

Located in the basement of Peckham’s multi-purpose arts venue the Bussey Building, Rye Wax is a record shop, a nightclub, a bar and restaurant all in one. Rye Wax is a Peckham favourite, renowned for its down-to-earth staff and the cool vibe of its club nights, Vietnamese street food and once a month barber shop pop-up.
