FACTS: Net Zero barely nudges your bill. Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof. So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Well that's a first for me. Saw a Waymo driverless car today on Camberwell New Road. Knew it was driverless because it stuck to the speed limit, signalled properly and overtook a cyclist safely.

Little piece about the urban sculpture garden outside of Denmark Hill Station. Calling it 'bonkers' is a bit harsh, but it is weird and wonderful. h/t Camberwell Society @tomtomofcamberwell.bsky.social @martinheadon.bsky.social @chrisrowell.bsky.social

Why Camberwell is Cool If you wander south-east from the river, past the busier hubs and into the quieter folds of the city, you’ll find Camberwell: a place that doesn’t demand attention, yet quietly steers a narrative of its own. In 2025 it was named the fourth coolest neighbourhood in the world…

If you live in the London Borough of either Southwark or Lambeth, you qualify for membership (free!) of the OV Local scheme at the Old Vic. Main perk is 20% off tickets under certain circumstances. But here’s quite a nice food offer, very tempting for me, given it’s on my way home from town.

@seatsixtyone.bsky.social happy new year Mr 61. I finally persuaded some friends to go inter railing with the family & they just pointed out this from the myinterrail.co.uk website. I’m assuming it just means we’ll need to use the www.interrail.eu in future but have I missed an announcement?

Amazing record for the FIFA

Very good.

Camberwell? You mean they closed the store on Walworth Road and now want to open up in the area again?

This can't really be shared enough. Memorise the detail, tell people who need to know.

It’s the 22nd anniversary of a man sitting in a bath of beans. This may not seem remarkable, what with that being a staple of rag weeks everywhere, but this was in the window of the House Gallery in Camberwell. This was Art

This is so very sad. She was just a wonderful woman and her cakes filled me with joy!

8. Anyway, please remember, amid all the noise about the prisons crisis, that it is caused not by rising crime or rising population. It is caused by rising demands from people who do not represent this country and do not have our interests at heart. Thank you. 8/8

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

The BBC is in crisis in the same way that GB News would be if you put Owen Jones on the board armed with a veto and plenty of coffee.

Two Camberwell pubs in make the 100 top food pubs . I’ll let you take a punt which one’s made it. (Hint: it ain’t the Hermit’s Cave, which should win every award IMHO). In fairness it is about the good and I’ve heard very good things about the Kerfield. www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/uk...

🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London. We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

The Joiners 📍35 Denmark Hill, London SE5 8RS This pub is located in Camberwell, just south of Camberwell Green. The Joiners Arms, as it was originally known, dates back to 1820. It earned its name from the journeymen joiners who toiled on the grand mansions close by. 📸⤵️

The newly refurbished The Sun of Camberwell. Looks lovely with a lick of paint and some new banquet seating inside (amongst many other things I’ve probably not noticed). The back garden is as big ever. Worth a pint if you’re in the area.
