Since its arrival in 2008, a disused train carriage has become part
of the fabric of Deptford High Street. Thanks to a collaborative art
project, both the disused railway yard and the carriage itself were
transformed, the latter housing a surprisingly cosy café and the yard
hosting open-air film screenings and other events. The colourful, partly
covered decking area has a surprise waiting in the shed at one end – a
WC masquerading as a shrine to Elvis. The café is popular with families
for early brunches and lunches, so you may find that the menu becomes
more limited after about 1pm on weekends.
On our visit, the soup and specials had run out, but helpful staff
were ready to suggest additions that could be made to the available
dishes. Baked potatoes and sandwiches with an array of toppings and
fillings form the backbone of the menu, along with a choice of salads.
No need to stop for a full meal, however – excellent coffee, fresh
juices and generous wedges of own-made cakes make it a good pit-stop.
