Tiktok Called Me A Peckham “Gentrifier.” So I Went Back For Pizza.

When my restaurant closed, I avoided Peckham for a year. Walking back in to review another Italian place near where mine once was felt heavier than I’d imagined.

The food matters, but so does the context. I talk it through properly in a longer video on Substack.

I’m a former restaurateur now writing about food and culture in London. I cover everything from openings to closures, and our local food history. My writing often looks at how what we eat reveals the values of our shared home.

Twice each week I publish short pieces blending restaurant reviews with social history and personal experience, exploring how food connects people to place. If that sounds like your kind of thing, you can find all my latest pieces on Substack.
