What locals say about Camberwell and surrounding areas
“Nunhead has a lovely village-y feel while still being really close to bustling Peckham and New Cross. We have our own great restaurants, bars and shops close to Nunhead Green. A few favourites: great craft beer micro pub: the Beer Shop, lovely French bistro: Babette; amazing sour dough pizzas: 400 Rabbits.”

“I love Deptford because it is near to Greenwich and not far from Surrey Quays, and affordable unlike the 2 places mentioned.”

“I've lived in Camberwell for just over 10 years and love living here. In zone 2, we are so close to the centre of London but manage to achieve a really lovely community village-type feel. Our neighbours have lived here for generations and really look out for us; the bars are really great and there are some fantastic gastropubs - one of which we were lucky enough to get married in! Our wedding was at Southwark Registry Office at the end of Havil Street and we came back to the flat and had WONDERFUL photos in the green across from our flat and champagne with the neighbours, followed by a fabulous dinner and party at The Bear â on the other side of Camberwell Green towards Oval. Burgess Park has hosted many a birthday party in the summer in the BBQ areas. And friends coming from North London are always amazed and impressed with how lovely the area is and how close to the centre of London we are.”

Cody and Beau: A Wild West Story
written and presented by Dylan Kaeuper and William Grice In 1889 Texas, Cody and Beau have one goal: to become cowboys. From the safety of their shared bedroom, gunfights blaze and outlaw legends come alive. But when the boys plot an escape into the desert, the reality of the West proves far more complex than their magazine-fed fantasies. What begins as a wild ride toward freedom unfolds into a tender, searching exploration of masculinity, friendship, and the darker truths buried in Americas past. Fresh from an acclaimed run at the Edinburgh and Dundee Fringe, Cody and Beau: A Wild West Story returns for a limited London run with a bold reimagining of boyhood and the myths we inherit. Dylan and Will have been performing together since childhood. Cody and Beau: A Wild West Story was their debut production as collaborators. They set out to create something with an innocent and playful energy, before asking the audience to confront something darker the Wild West.
