Evening fellow SE22ers. The wife & I are moving from D'Village into downtown East Dulwich next weekend and are very much looking forward to being in the mix of it. Where are the best & coolest places to eat, drink, chill, party, etc etc??

citizenEd has it pretty much sewn up there, although I would add that if you can bring yourself to venture a little further into SE15, then:


Lucky 7s on a Thursday at the Gowlett

Frank's Cafe and Campari Bar


both good for a party (and Frank's for a drink any time Thurs to Sun)

I agree Dogger...



James sounds like a "bit of a tool" ( as you said in your PM to me ) BUT


..PERSONALLY I'm prepared to cut him some slack


I'm sure Mrs B is an "Uptown Girl" eh...?



Anyway I'm "cool" here at "party central"

Ah - Frank's, as in the 'rooftop project'. I now recall reading about it last year in the Metro. So it's back for a 2nd season. I will certainly make the effort to check it out - thanks!

Thanks Dogger. Granted, 'downtown' probably isn't the fairest description of East Dulwich, though in the context of comparing it to the relatively narcoleptic Village, it was meant as a compliment. Down with those hairs!

What is so terrible about Adventure Bar? So long as you go for happy hour so it isn't ridiculously expensive, it's lively and the cocktails are decent. Little too loud for a place without a dance floor perhaps, but I usually have a good time.


I'm a relative ED noob, not having experienced this Inside 72 place, or the drum. What were so good about them?

A lot of people dislike Adventure because it?s everything inside 72 wasn?t. Inside 72 was a dark dingy little place that sold interesting beer, had various rock memorabilia on the walls played good music, didn?t have any need for big burly visible bouncers etc.


Adventure replacing it was just a bit of a shock to the system.


The Drum too was individual in it s own way. It had personality. Granted that personality was sometimes grumpy, hungover and cantankerous but when it was on form it was quite sublime.

      Half Moon Montessori Nursery: amazing! opposite Judith Kerr

      By aaronfaybarnett · Posted

      I also strongly agree. My third daughter was lucky enough to get a place and it’s been the  most wonderful experience. The staff are simply amazing and truly care and love the children. I wish my older two children had been lucky enough to attend.

      Nursery feedback - please help! 🙏🏽

      By aaronfaybarnett · Posted

      Halfmoon Montessori is simply amazing. Staff are so loving and nurturing. My daughter loves it there. They usually close at 3pm as they work with the local schools in the area but now offer wrap around care on some days.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      The alternative would be to let them free, to be predated on and without parents to teach them the necessities of survival. Clearly this is an unhelpful model of instruction, but, given the ducklings have been born and will not survive without parental care (unless they are hand reared in the school - which I doubt has the capacity of skill for this) then gassing them is the most 'humane' action. The school should perhaps have thought through what is the likely outcome for ducklings which are not being reared by either skilled farmers or ducks. I suspect that the duckings would not be saleable to farmers having been initially born and raised in circumstances which were not sterile for introduction into larger flocks.
