Rye Lane is one of South London's most exciting eating streets, where independent West African, Caribbean, and international food shops and restaurants sit alongside newer small-plates spots and wine bars that have drawn attention from across the city. The quality of what is on offer here punches well above what the prices suggest, making it one of the better value propositions in London right now. Peckham Rye station on the Overground is right at the top of the lane.
