Rye Lane

'Few roads in London smell quite like Rye Lane. It’s one of the few streets in the city where you can truly experience sensory overload; a great place to overwhelm a labrador. There’s raw meat and fish from the markets; fruit from the street traders; chemicals from the nail salons that never seem to close. Most of these businesses are run or frequented by members of the UK’s largest overseas Nigerian community – this is the beating heart of Little Lagos. 
In recent years, new scents have joined the aromatic miasma: craft beer, pulled pork and whatever brogues smell like. Among other things, gentrification has brought Rye Lane a huge pub run by the Antic group, while the Peckham Rye end is home to a cluster of cafés and modish restaurants, the only part of the area where avocados outnumber yams. 
The result is one of the most aesthetically varied, culturally mixed and unique streets in London. Gird your nostrils.'

This is just as well for me. As if the last week or so is any guide, I'm going to spend a lot of time marching up and down this street...
