Anyone familiar with South London that can help?

Posting for traffic - am going to an event in Peckham Rye and wanting to stay in a hotel the night before - any recommendations please - am happy to travel half an hour to get to the show

peckham rye is on the overground that goes up to Blackfriars, you could stay somewhere central and travel to Peckham by train for the event? What budget do you have?

Budget is about £150

As well as Blackfriars, London Bridge is an option or there's a Travelodge in Peckham itself which would undoubtedly be cheaper

The Travellodge in Peckham is fine

Are you going to the Lost Estate?

The Travelodge on Peckham High St?More upmarket, the Victoria Inn on Choumert Rd has rooms and is walking distance.
Peckham Rye station is also on lines straight to London Bridge and Victoria

I am!!

Look at Hotels Borough High Street, Elephant and Castle, Tower Bridge. All a bus ride away.

I know someone who has stayed here:

Forgot to say it’s a short bus or train away from Peckham

I got my first job there, was 17. Many years ago.

Thanks everyone will have a proper look tomorrow

Was going to suggest this. Dulwich is a beautiful area to stay.

Ha! Brilliant that it’s still going.

Absolutely! I had just left school and needed a summer job. I lived on Denmark Hill. Bought the South London Press, saw a job advertised, called, they said come over for an interview. 2 hours later had a summer job, which then became a career. It was that easy then!

Thanks Graham and Gill, the landlords then!

Probably the best night you'll ever have. Have lots of the cocktails, they're out of this world

What are you wearing?

It is the best place you will have a fantastic time.

Aha that event is on Rye Lane (not on Peckham Rye!) and is very close to PR station so staying somewhere central would be very easy to get to.
The Victoria Inn a short walk away or the Crown and Greyhound in the village (cab easier than bus!) would also be a good fit for the type of evening!

It is a treat for my big birthday this year and l can't wait!!! Got a dress to wear although it doesn't exactly scream 1930's New York, l feel good in it but will see what the weather is doing x
