Pete – The Rake, good choice for beer – many hazy memories upon leaving there.

Mike – Brindisa – Been before, do Borough quite often so may head a bit further off the beaten track.

Lyle – Oooh Turkish, sounds good Lyle. Little ‘tips’ like that rock, really should check out TimeOut – so many things to do.

Definitely recommend a place I went to on Friday – Turkish restaurant in New Cross [two overground stops from London Bridge to St Johns] called Mangal Meze [sp?] just got a Time Out 2010 award on top of years of others. Cracking food, huge portions, home made bread, amazing dips and a variety of grilled skewered meats cooked in front of your mince pies. Cheap, friendly and delicious. £65 for three w drinks

Ok, Borough Market is an absolute MUST. Amazing food and drink, I recommend cheers buying at Neal’s Yard and KaseSwiss then a hot salt beef sandwich with gherkins and mustard followed by a pint of something interesting at The Rake.

For a cheap, amazing, tasty dinner try Tayyabs (long queues usual) or the Lahore Kebab house and grill. Both quite close to Brick Lane.

I went to a place on Upper Street called galipoli. There are 3 of the same places more-or-less next door to each other. Was good food and great fun. Toilets were very strange but you'll have to go to experience it. Not sure which one I went to though. Certainly not the one closest to the corner. Think it was the one with the burgundy sign. See here for a street view hopefully.
