No Way is it charging (although no proof)


Great Exhibition is sold out (as last year) - It's fancy Dress though and some people love that :)


Bishop ticketed

It's always a good idea to keep a list of the free entry pubs on NYE just in case it doesn't work out for one reason or another. ?5 is actually just the price of a pint - but that's not my issue with tickets.

Probably no more than about 40 people in there,

Absolutely no effort made by the bar as it was a "special" NYE night.....


To be honest it seems like the lane has gone quite downhill for nights out

I used to go nearly every weekend about 10 yrs ago, the vibe has completely changed!

I generally pass through the lane on weekends & find it nowhere near to how busy it used to be!


I have to say liquorice was my favourite place back then!

To be honest, without going into details I went out by accident.

It's been at least 8yrs since I celebrated NYE away from my home.


I guess I just expected a bit more excitement! Lol


The fiver weren't too bad to pay, but not for a dead night!


I went there about 11.30pm, by 12.30 am I was back home!


I can't see that happening again in a hurry, next year I'll probably snuggle up to my duvet!

I think you could be right about that!


When I was telling my friend about my night she suggested I should've gone to prince of Peckham....

Saying that I'm definitely over 40 but my mind tells me I'm still in my 20's! 😎😜

Lordship Lane was sort of a mini destination a few years ago, and it was pretty buzzy on a Friday and Saturday night... but not really these days. Partly because Peckham has so much more going on, but also I reckon because of the nature of people who tend to move to ED. People in their 40s with kids. Not many carefree 20/30 somethings.

I'm guessing that was written by someone who's never been to the West Norwood Picturehouse. In an organisation with a proud tradition of slow and poor service, they stand out as lowering the standard.

    • A repetitive tried and tested cycle that seems to be slowing down in London thankfully. Brixton was the start. Councils consciously and purposely let an area decline until that area is next on the list for social and ethnic cleansing and ultimately gentrification. In come the first wave of arty/ creatives to squat and house share. A few coffee shops and cool but inexpensive cafe/ bars and art spaces open up. The crackheads, dealers and other assorted criminals who were once left to operate openly and brazenly to sell, shop lift, mug, beg, purchase,  publicly consume on decent folks doorsteps, stairwells,in bin sheds and without fear of the law begin to be targeted, rounded up and moved on. A few more jaunty and sustainable coffee shops/ bars appear . The Guardian and other facilitators in the media jump on the bandwagon, first claims of vibrancy are rolled out. Next step a few cool retro clothing shops pop up selling ' reclaimed Levi's for more than they originally cost and ten times the price of what the recently departed charity shop charged. Foxtons open a branch and the arty types and first wavers/ drivers have there first moan about there initially paltry rents going up. The guardian do a generic lets move to Brixton, Dalston, Hackney, Deptford, Walthamstow type double pager. Interview a graphic designer or two who have just bought a former crack den on the manor for next to peanuts. They will later bemoan the next wave who have more money than them. Cool, edgy and vibrant are now the buzzword bingo must use lingo. Few more coffee shops ( how original ) Pop up everything,. Organic and sour dough move in. The night time economy starts to thrive, more cool bars and eateries open. More squats and the last crack house that was once one of many are cleared out. Second wave is around the corner.   All of a sudden there's a visible police presence again and the streets are safe for fun seekers with plenty of disposable cash to chuck about on a dose of vibrancy with added coolness. By this stage even the locally brewed beer is organic. There's queues outside the newly arrived organic, sourdough, artisan and sustainable bakers. Instagram has Brixton trending. The greasy spoon of thirty year has gone cause the lease is up and the landlord has hiked the rents up by 60/70%. Followed by small family run independents that served the community  for decades and more.  The local characters, activists, eccentrics are getting less and less. There's a new show in town for a week or two and until the next brand arrives. Brewdog move in. Former job centres are converted into bars but peak edginess means it's still called the job centre. Followed by a couple more chain eateries. The resident DJ'S and music venues are replaced by another generic brand boasting guest chefs. The Guardian lifestyle section is now on it's fifth or sixth orgasm. Turn a few pages and hypocrisy is rampant with articles on the evils of gentrification, foxtons, capitalism, social cleansing and unaffordable housing. The middle classes continue to arrive in there droves to buy into the vibrancy and multiculturalism supposedly on offer. There isn't much multiculturalism going on at the packed latest place to eat, drink and fart. The multiculturalism on show comes in the form of bar staff, doorman and cheap as chips uber drivers and delivery workers. Rice and peas, jerk everything, red stripe at six quid a can from some hipster haunt that is currently flavour of the month and the place to be seen. The first wavers are now blaming the latest hedge funded brand that's pulled into town for driving gentrification and there soon to be hastened departure to be first wavers again somewhere else. Less cool but up and coming here we come. Covid has certainly helped/ been a factor in slowing down the process of gentrification. I also think it may be the driver for almost putting a stop to it. Remote working, less need to move to London to be near an office, less disposable cash, sky high rents, worthless degrees that relied on that disposable cash , different priorities, knife and gang crime and a large dose of much needed realism has put a huge spanner in the works for the shitty process and cycle that is/ was the gentrification and social cleansing of working class London. Manchester and Liverpool is next on the list for the planners. Thankfully.
