Hill

I was already a regular visitor to Clubtek’s DJ shop when it was in Penge, but now they're even handier in Stanstead Road, just a few doors down from Shannon’s Garden Centre - another old favourite. It’s by no means just for DJs and bands...

Friend of BC, Marshall, has written this review of Brockley's new Korean restaurant. He says:Paranhodu has officially opened its doors on Lewisham Way, after completing a significant improvement of the space that formerly housed Kedar.

Hungarian restaurant The Rosemary is now open. Located at 178 New Cross Road and replacing Cafe 178, it looks like a restaurant drawn by a primary school child - the kind of place you might stumble into on a European road trip. And it's all the better for it. What it tastes like, we have no idea - we ...
