Camberwell 

An area of London in the boroughs of both Southwark and Lambeth, between Brixton and Peckham. At the centre of Camberwell is the Camberwell Green, which is an important junction on any London Bus Map. The legendary Wilson's School (since moved to Wallington) was founded here in 1615. There is a large park called Ruskin Park, which is situated next to the huge King's College Hospital which has seen the birth of many a young genius. Camberwell also has a large Greek Orthodox church, and has a large Greek community. Charlie Chaplin was born nearby, up the Walworth Raad. Camberwell has achieved a gangsta reputation, and is the scene of frequent violent crimes. Unfortunately it is in Millwall territory, which may be a cause when we look at the volume of violence in Camberwell. It is not advisable to go wandering around Camberwell at night, particularly alone.
Person A: Come we go Camberwell.
Person B: Nah blud, allow, I ain't got ma gat.

Person C: One of my mans got gunned down in Camberwell.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
