Hands down the chillest gaff in all the Burroughs. Ideal for a silly Sunday when you’ve got the talkies, the gags are off the charts

Loved the choice of mii’s on the Wii, safe to say “Wii” all found a mii to match our inner selves. Music was on point and I have no idea how an air conditioning place gets such a late license, but more air con gaffs should catch on to this loophole. Definitely worth the wait in the queue.

Welcome to the Bermuda Triangle of hospitality! The Gaff is like a black hole - once you step inside, there's no escaping its gravitational pull. You are not only stepping into a front room, you’re stepping into the arena of Wii bowling champions! Hold tight onto your remote, like it’s the key to your glory. At first, you might just be a humble beginner, but beware: with each strike and spare, you'll feel the transformation happening. Suddenly, you're not just playing a game – you're a Wii Bowling deity in the making. After a nights exploration of great tunes, bowling, natty wines, expert photoshoots and likeminded individuals, you can stumble out into the wilderness. You may even find solace in the embrace of nature's greenery. 🌳

The gaff is by far the most humble yet welcoming air conditioning place in south London. You come out from there fully refreshed. I feel like a new me. No need to go to Bali and see the monks and stuff to have revelations and start from a fresh line. The gaff will make you question your life choices in the wisest of the ways. It might seem mondaine and even a little bit dodgy at first glance but once you’re settled into the pure atmosphere of the place, you will have trouble to leave. The aromas of fresh tobacco and cooked pesto will plunge you into the heart of Herne Hill vibes. If you’re lucky there might be a sweet tune playing. But don’t sit on the sofa or your soul with sink into it and remain there forever. The gaff isn’t simply about Air Con, but it’s a complex sensory experience that deserved to be lived.

A True Gem in Herne Hill! The Gaff in Herne Hill is an absolute treasure! From the moment you walk in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The decor is stylish yet cozy, creating the perfect ambiance for a casual meal or a special night out. The food is simply outstanding. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The menu offers a wonderful variety, and the flavors are truly exceptional. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every detail is just right. Whether you're a local or just visiting the area, The Gaff is a must-visit. It's the kind of place that makes you feel right at home, and you'll want to come back again and again. Highly recommended!
