Wood is good. Making stuff is good too and London Reclaimed celebrates this by teaching young people joinery skills. Lumberjack is full of their work: all those tables and chairs, and the shelves too. In fact, Lumberjack likes all things crafty – you can buy the hand-printed tea towels the staff use and the ceramic mugs, which are all made locally. No wonder the place has been such a hit with students from the local art college. Mums and freelancers like the calming atmosphere, too.
The craft ethos extends to the coffee, from Peckham’s Old Spike Roastery, which makes a mean flat white. The brief list of eats also includes soup, sandwiches and toast as well as some sublime sweet treats.
