Forza Wine is a rooftop bar/restaurant with an outdoor, bench-filled terrace and an indoor area with tall tables and glass doors revealing that skyline. Food is of the lipsmacking small-plates variety, with Italian-ish favours. Lots of fritti, rotating pasta dishes, panzanellas, herby beans, fabulous flatbreads, and fittingly, an excellent wine list and tonnes of seriously impressive cocktails. You can order the whole menu for £130, which would comfortably feed a group of five. We love it here.
Peckham locals have always been proud of the area’s brand: a melting pot of cultural vibrancy, eccentric individuals and born-and-bred Londoners keeping it real. It rivals Hoxton, Dalston and all those other East End upstarts as the place to hang out, and it's the perfect place for new restaurants to find their feet. Here are some of the best in the area.
