The Hill Station Cafe

Part community café, part live music bar, this Telegraph Hill spot in New Cross runs from weekday coffees to late nights Thursday through Sunday, when a permanent pizza residency from Dinner for One Hundred takes over. Thursday happy hour keeps things budget-friendly — two pints for £10, or a bottle of house wine for £20 — while the Hill Trader shop showcases handmade crafts from more than 40 local makers. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating, and the venue is wheelchair-accessible throughout.
