Peckham bar: This is a fun bar on the top of a multi-story carpark. The view is fantastic, especially at sunset. You have to go up a dodgy looking staircase to get there! Don't expect anything fancy - benches for seating and long-drop style loos!

Getting Around
The nearest station is New Cross Gate. There are also several bus stops nearby which will take you to Greenwich, Deptford, Peckham or into central London. I recommend downloading an app called Citymapper which will tell you the different options for getting to where you want to go.
New Cross Gate Station: You can get a train to London Bridge or Canada Water or Shoreditch Highstreet. When coming back remember to get a train to New Cross GATE Station. If you go to New Cross Station it is a bit of a long walk.
