these are all brilliant, peckham is really close to bermondsey and it wouldnt take too long from clapham either.

I'm a big fan of democracy blah blah blah, and we've all had our say as to what's the best time and place to fit into our busy/lazy lives, but I think the time has come for someone to arbitrarily book the time and place and everyone either goes or doesn't.

Obviously, I'm suggesting someone else should do this, as there's no way I could handle the rejection if no-one comes to my designated place.

So who's it going to be?

Coming from Bermondsey, you need to head for Surrey Walk via crossing over Old Kent Road roughly just pass the Tesco around Burgess park if you now what I mean.

Type in Surrey walk in google and it'll make sense.

I'm a couple of hundred feet from Brockwell Park, so I'm definitely in if it's there. If we can find a covered place fairly nearby then I'm also in.

To summarise; I'm in.
