Sunday, Sept 4: This pop-up art gallery (above) in Upland Road, at the Lordship Lane end, on Sunday provides a focus for the weekend. It runs from midday. If it's sunny, afterwards head up to Peckham Common and the cafe for good cakes and coffee or tea - or something stronger. And there is achance to get on the bowling green in the park behind, where the cafe serves the same food, and has books to swap.
Around 4pm?
