That is, until they go and ruin it by dumping a massive new development with 15+-storey blocks right in the middle of it, anyway.
Penge is on the up!

It specifically mentions the Nurseries, Southey, the art, Carnival Coffee, SE20 Cycles and the Penge Cycle Club plus the bakery in Anerley.
Re: Penge is on the up!
But not the Pawlene Arms or the Penge bungalow murders?

My yearly vist to this morgue of a site,but,.....maybe a positive, I use Mozilla firefox and have a widget thing called Pocket, it enables me to store up media stories for later.I have found it will bypass just about all newspaper paywalls.
Handy as I refuse to buy newspapers,not bought one for 20years, I can make up my own lies, and have plenty bias of my own.

Whisper it: Penge is becoming the most desirable postcode south of the river. This patch between Crystal Palace and Beckenham is the city’s best kept secret, and it has it all, from Alexandra Nurseries for your chichi gardening needs (plus to-die-for emmental and sauerkraut toasties), to Penge Cycle Club, whose rides often end at SE20 Cycles, where you can get all things bike and your recovery cake and flat white (locals know that Winston serves the best coffee and veggie sausage rolls around). Plus, the ever-popular Chatsworth Bakehouse is just around the corner in Anerley, although the queues are just as famous. Looking to make your own cuppa? Carnival Coffee Roasters holds courses on how to create the perfect espresso at home. There’s art too: Penge Rooftop Gallery has revamped the top floors of a car park on Penge High Street. Expect a roster of wall art from local and international street artists.
In the know Brockley Brewery has long been providing south London’s go-to pint, but it’s time to try the craft beer made by Southey Brewing Co, available in London pubs, online and at its local taproom. HE
