What locals say about SE15
“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.”
Hannah
“Nunhead has got to be the best place to live if you want to be close to the city, close to lots of green spaces, and close to lovely pubs and shops. Nunhead has a real mix of people with newcomers keeping the area vibrant. Sunday lunch at the Ivy House Pub with a jazz big band is a must!”
Steve
“I love all the arty new spaces opening up around Peckham Rye Lane Station. Fantastic! I hope there are more and more and more coming. From art, to breads, to cakes, to street food, to coffee, to organic beer. And all close to my flat now.”

Global Cowboys + Ropeburn
New Lands brings Ivy House stalwart Sam Gowans back to its iconic stage with his exciting new project 'Global Cowboys'. Alongside the new emo-folk band on the scene, Rope Burn. It's going to be a night to remember. Don't miss it. Global Cowboys is a new project by Sam Gowans. Crafted in secret studio and home recording sessions, the Cowboys draw from influences in the janglier categories of 20th Century guitar music alongside the sound worlds of Eno and Television. Above all else, Global Cowboys guitar-led compositions aim to explore, in equal measure, the hopeful and the forlorn. Rope Burn is an alternative/slowcore/post-rock inspired quintet featuring trumpet and banjo based in London. The group hails from Ireland and the UK with songs that spill into each other to make a cohesive and fluid set with all members singing. Ropeburn pulls influences from Caroline, Alex G and American Football whilst featuring members from Blood Wizard, Kissing on Camera, Baggio and Bog Band. Presented by The Ivy House. This is an 18+ event.Read more
