Chef Ben Lippett, widely recognized as @dinnerbyben on social media, has garnered a substantial following by sharing accessible guides to "really good home cooking." While his culinary content is designed for the home cook, Lippett’s creativity is sparked by his neighborhood of Peckham, southeast London. Just a 15-minute train journey from central London, Peckham is gaining popularity for its evolving food scene and "up-and-coming" reputation.
In a recent episode of CNBC’s new travel series "Downtime," Lippett takes viewers on a tour of his favorite local haunts in Peckham, showcasing where he unwinds and draws inspiration. His top picks include:
-
Peckham Bowls: Situated in Peckham Rye Park, this bowling green offers a laid-back atmosphere where visitors can enjoy a beer and a game of lawn bowls, free from the typical formality associated with the sport.
-
F.C. Soper: A family-run fishmonger that sources its seafood from the renowned Billingsgate Fish Market, making it a must-visit for fresh and high-quality produce.
-
Grove Lane Deli: This charming bakery is famed for its coffees and cakes that are so delightful, they justify the long queues that form on weekends.
- Forza Wine: A relaxed bar offering small plates, cocktails, natural wines, and an impressive city view from its terrace, making it a perfect spot for unwinding.
