That was a long way of saying daboi89, you're not fully correct! West Croydon , hummmm is that something akin to Bagdad / Damascus ?

Thought they all stopped at East Croydon only, which doesn't have any direct trains from there to Peckham. Could be wrong on that but if not, it's easier to get to Clapham Junction and only have the one change there to Peckham then having to go from East Croydon to West Croydon to get the southern train to Peckham, would take a lot longer too.

Only seeing this now so probably too late but SByrne is right, train is the quickest, Gatwick is miles out. Get a groupsave train ticket, works out at around £45 return for the three of you instead of about £70. 25 minutes from Gatwick to Clapham Junction and go to platform 1 or 2 and get a London Overground train to Peckham, four stops, takes about 10 minutes. Think it's the train to Highbury and Islington that you need.

There is some great bars in Peckham. Head to the Rye bar near the park, good food and beer selection. http://www.theryepeckham.com/gallery.aspx

There's a load of good bars around Blenheim Grove too, near Peckham Rye overground station and East Dulwich is just beside Peckham, Lordship lane is full of bars and restaurants. You'll pass by it on the number 37 bus that goes from Peckham to Brixton. The EDT (east Dulwich Tavern) on the roundabout at the bottom of Lordship lane http://eastdulwichtavern.com/ or the Bishop http://www.thebishopeastdulwich.com/ are good bars.

In Brixon, check out Brixton village, massive old warehouse converted into loads of restaurants and a few small bars http://brixtonmarket.net/brixton-village/
