For those who don't know us, we write about messing around in South East London - the best bit of London. About the pubs, people and unlikely pleasures below the river, with a large dose of irreverent humour.
There hasn't been a book about South London since 1947. Yes, the year Charlton won the Cup. We aim to put that right.
Sure, South London is covered in London guide books. There's usually a paragraph or two at the back, written by someone in Islington who knew someone who went there once. But you have to know South London to appreciate it. And we bloody love it.
Pledging support for this book will help us make sure South London will appear on the literary map once more, with a funny, beautifully illustrated book that shows the place at a remarkable point in its history.21 -
Didn't know deserter had a Charlton connection. I'm a long time reader of your site. Particularly liked your South London tap room trail guide. I shall support.Vincenzo said:For those who have enjoyed Deserter over the last few years, finally a book fit for your South London toilet:

I would have preferred South East London.
`South London is ours' reminds me of someone else.1 -
Always read deserter.
Worlds greatest rail journeys: London Bridge-Charing Cross being a particular favourite.2 -

I can vouch for Vincenzo being a Charlton fan. Can be found in the Swan on a match day.1

Charlton's representative on ITV's Fan Parliament was also called Vincent! A different one though, I think. Shit, how do I even fucking remember that1

They are certainly two very different Vinces.2

I too love the Deserter site, BTW, Vincenzo. Sadly not in a position to help with funding, but hopefully will persuade a relative to buy it for me for Christmas when it comes out...1

Thanks a million to everyone from CL who has pledged support. We're 50% funded now. We're well on our way to getting what will be a very funny book about the places, culture and history of South London that we estimate will feature some 150 South London pubs.
Cheers, all.

Vincenzo, wrote and appeared in Castrust news 9,( shown outside the Royal Oak) an excellent review of pubs, in and around Charlton, Eltham, etc. 3 pages in fact. Anyone interested can read this on https://issuu.com/castrust/docs/tnt9.
Think it might be time for another round Vincenzo ?...... purely for research of course.1
