Peckham’s become a bit of a rooftop terrace hub lately, but anyone after some al fresco dinner and drinks might be hard-pressed to find it at the usual suspects, which are typically rammed. So, if you don’t mind being closer to the ground, the terrace at Peckham Arches has you covered – literally. The canopied space is heated (good for chilly spring evenings), has the capacity for 600 guests and adjoins an art gallery, screening room and dancefloor. There’s a long beer and wine list, as well as a selection of cocktails, and a Middle Eastern-inspired open fire kitchen serving up the likes of merguez sausages, bavette steak, marinated chicken thighs and chargrilled vegetables.
