Jazz-Live @ The Rivoli Ballroom


Giant Chinese lanterns and Austrian chandeliers

What better way to spend a Saturday night than at the Jive Party at the famous
vintage Rivoli Ballroom in Crofton with a live band playing? It felt like we were celebrating the 
end of the Blitz!

Only Fools and Horses @ Frank's

The last week of Frank's Bar (yes, it was a few weeks ago) on top of the Peckham multi-storey car park, was as cool as ever.  Dingy stairwell to walk up, giant awnings stretched across to make a tent-like roof, superb views across London, and gigantic art from Camberwell college. I had the best burger ever, we were entertained by dancers and I got a photo of the iconic Trotter-mobile 'New York - Paris- Peckham', which I see around Peckham occasionally - though the last time I saw it , it was being towed....can it really be on its last legs?
