Eran moved to Old Kent Road six years ago to be closer to his restaurant, Bala Baya
(Picture: Daniel Lynch)I live on the infamous Old Kent Road — the brown street in Monopoly that nobody ever buys. I’m on the border of Bermondsey and Peckham, so I consider myself to be part of both neighbourhoods.
I’ve lived here since I opened Bala Baya six years ago. I was in Islington for seven years beforehand, but I moved here to be closer to work. When I moved from beautiful De Beauvoir — the dream — I was upset about moving to Southwark, not knowing that I was actually stepping into the new coolest area of London. It’s a complex, happening borough — super cultural with amazing diversity of people. I can’t recommend it enough.
