new year's eve in East Dulwich

Recommended Posts

I hear that Clapham is FAR better than ED - its tradition on NYE for the drug fiends on SE London to run amok on Lordship lane with their unexchanged needles, scaring the residents


ED borders the seething hell hole of Peckham and all know about Peckham dont we.


best stay in Clappers.

I was aksing the Bishop about their plans - invite only, 2.00am close. I'm surprised they're not going for later. I fancy a 6.00am bedtime for an hour's sleep before I get up to get Max up.


I'd like to spend the night at the Drum. I'll ask about their plans.

thanks for feedback everyone - I love the idea of black tie SeanMacGabhann and will look into it more.


James, I am a little worried that you are so prejudiced about people from Clapham, especially having just read your comments on the jojomamanbebe thread. Surely a cool veggie, japanese, straight-friendly, gay-friendly open-minded kind of guy like you would welcome the diversity that people different to you bring to the neighbourhood? ;-)

Sean is spot on. I went to the very first NY's black tie at The Rye in 04/05 and it was great. Lots of nice single girls and full of gay dudes - perfect scenario!


Ever since I have tried other options all involving expensive cabs but none can compare to walking down Barry Road in a tux, having a great party and staggering back in just ten minutes.


So I am definitely local this year. I hear the EDT has a good bash too. Anyone been to that?

Funny to think that that first year at the Rye I was sharing space with people who would become forumites. Time for another round of applause for Mr Administrator for doing this whole thing....


Any road, if I WAS going out for NY this year The Rye is where I would head. I do wonder who the lady who took a liking to pinching bum was that first time I went... sorry, I digress


But I'm not going out this year as Lady MacGabhann is departing for t'Far East for 3 months the day after

I'll second that! I was there last NYE. Great fun!

I shall avoid regressing into anti clapham sentiments. But I'm not sure that as a demographic they do bring much diversity to the area to be honest Nicky! ED is still way more diverse and retains real chraracter - something Clapham is lacking now.


I do wonder if there is a dark cloning machine in Clapham producing identikit young professionals with similar jobs, educational backgrounds, clothes and aspirations. A kind of sinister breeding ground for PR girls and Accenture consultants. They should do a Doctor Who with Clapham as the centre of all evil as the storyline. Just for a laugh. And have a final showdown in Clapham Foxtons where David Tenant saves the world from the Accenture-bots.


But if you want to impress your friends The Rye at NY'rs is a great intro to ED. Followed perhaps by a visit to Cafe Nero and the expensive kitchenware store for a ?90 frying pan just to make them feel at home.


See you there perhaps? (at the Rye not the Kitchenware store!)

But you have to wear posh clothes Nicky- its black tie! I'll be in a nice Kilgour suit with a silver tie. (As anyone from SW4 should know, silver is the new black). I'm very up for posh clothes. People should start wearing proper hats again. And gentlemen should wear brogues.

    • Nauris and his team have done fantastic work in our garden for the second year. Last year, they sanded, oiled the deck and did an immaculate job of paving the area around the deck. Then two weeks ago, I asked Nauris if he could build a garden shed, sand and oil the deck and paint and repair the fences. Again, another excellent job and he was great at fitting in a couple of small fixes. We are really pleased with the shed which is well made and painted and blends in well to the garden. Nauris is really respectful and always left everything tidy in the evening and spotlessly clean at the end of the job. Nauris also provided a clear quote for the work at the beginning.  I recommend Nauris Graudins (and his team) very highly - [email protected]  
    • So who actually checks that the above is followed - are there going to be "surprise" inspections ?
    • We have used Aria and AFE Plumbing for many years on a number of jobs - installing new taps and showerhead, unblocking pipes.  He is always quick to respond and able to swiftly attend to the issue, easy to communicate with, and makes sure the job gets done. Definitely recommended. 
    • Well you've said i'm taking a pro cash stance too far. Perhaps not twisting- i used the wrong words but you are putting words in my mouth no? I'm not one for tech, that's for sure but how do you come to the conclusion i'm pro cash? I merely pointed out that cashless and using cards / card readers/ oyster readers/ and other terminals etc aren't risk free. If i was pro cash i wouldn't be using a card on occasions. Indeed. You can say that again. Irony and self awareness not your strong point is it? Indeed. Just as well you're not the judgemental type hey!!   What a strange and arrogant entity you are.
