East London has a new haven for good food, good wine and good music. Bambi, owned by James Dye who bought us the iconic Frank's in Peckham, takes over the spot at Netil House from previous residents Bright. Floor to ceiling windows flood the space with light and at night the restaurant turns more-so into a bar, with a DJ and amazing wine list. Decks played by Charlie Dark, old school records and vintage sound system offer true authenticity. Head down to Bambi on a Saturday night and you'll be sure to have a great time!
