Chef Ben Lippett, known as “@dinnerbyben” to hundreds of thousands of followers on social media, captivates his audience with his approachable guide to “really delicious home cooking.” Unsurprisingly, though, Lippett’s inspiration comes from outside his home, much of it located outside his door in nearby Peckham.

Unsurprisingly, though, Lippett’s inspiration comes from outside his home, much of it right outside his door in Peckham.
The south-east London neighborhood is just 15 minutes’ train ride from central London, and its food scene is growing alongside its “up-and-coming” status.
In the latest episode of CNBC’s new travel series DowntimeLippett revealed some of his favorite places to relax, including:
- Peckham Bowls, a bowling alley in Peckham Rye Park where you can grab a beer and play a game of lawn bowls – without the usual stuffiness
- FC Soper, a family-run fishmonger serving seafood straight from the iconic Billingsgate Fish Market
- Grove Lane Deli, a quaint bakery that serves coffee and cakes and is worth the long lines on weekends
- Forza Wine, casual bar serving small plates, cocktails, natural wines and stunning city views from the terrace
