I used to love that museum! It used to be in Arundel.

The new bit of Tate Modern has a tenth floor 360 degree viewing gallery with a coffee stall. I couldn't hack it because I don't like heights unless I'm completely enclosed by glass, but I stayed long enough to see that the views are absolutely fantastic. And it's all free!

Several previous threads on here about these people. Kibris, could you tell us what are the "legitimate schemes" selling this trash by knocking on people's doors?

No

If this incident was a month ago, I don't understand why the OP is posting about it now. And I also don't understand why a GP should be expected to come from their surgery (and Melbourne Grove is not that close to the EDT) to come and help somebody who has collapsed in a pub.

Passed on the bus today, and yes the corner shop is now Glamorous Nails, whose old shop nearby appeared to be closed down.

There is a phone number on the bags to ring if you want more, so I think they may deliver them as they do replacement bins. Nigello, you can not easily wrap garden waste in newspaper, it would just all fall apart.

James, please could you tell me who I should contact re emptying a dog poo bin at the end of Ulverscroft Road, which is overflowing. It isn't exactly encouraging people to pick up after their dog if they can't then put their bag in a bin.

There's a Neon installation at Tate Britain (I think) at the moment which looks interesting, and you can get a boat down the river to the other Tate. And I think the South Bank is great. Brilliant for kids with the beach and pop up fountains, there are some good new bars, and some of the street entertainers are actually entertaining and original (yes some crap too). The river is always good to watch. There are food stalls round the back but I think maybe only at weekends? If you get away from the tourist tat at the Westminster end, it's a good way to spend an hour or two. There are all those book stalls and the skate park, plus the NT, NFT, RFH, Tate Modern etc. Birdwatching under the Tate still? Often free music going on, inside and outside and exhibitions. I love the South Bank, and I'm not a tourist!

A main attraction was free entry to the permanent collection, but I really liked the design of the pavilion. Had an interesting short talk on some of the flower paintings, and found out about an interesting perfume company I didn't know about. Had a drink in the pavilion but didn't eat there (or in the main restaurant) as found the food choices a bit uninspiring. But on the whole for a free couple of hours (apart from the drinks) I thought it was great.

Totally agree. We had lunch from Borough Market recently. There's a huge choice of quite cheap and good stuff. I would have thought tourists would love it and it's right by London Bridge and the river. And The George Inn (don't particularly like it but I it's historic) and Southwark Cathedral. And The Golden Hynde and those old ruins, can't remember what they are. And proper pubs at one end of the market. And I don't know why anyone wouldn't like Liberty. You don't have to buy anything!

The Duck Egg in North Cross Road is now Luca's. Presumably the same Luca's which used to be on Lordship Lane?

They had them in the library a couple of days ago, however they said they ration them because demand is so high. If you need a lot, I would go to the office in Dulwich Park. But I think you may be able to get them delivered directly from the council, as you can with bins?

I don't think you will find new friends by asking randomly on here. Nobody knows your age, gender, interests or anything about you. All we know is that you live in Dulwich and are sadly recently bereaved. As has been suggested, a good way to make friends is by joining a group of people who have the same interests as you. Is there any reason why you don't want to do that? Also, would it not be easier to do if you got some support first to help you cope with the bereavement? Several people (ETA on your other thread) have suggested ways to do that. Hugs.

Perhaps you have missed the point Fox. Google "rim" and look at the Urban Dictionary definition .....

Not a restaurant, but lest we forget .... Rim World in the Walworth Road ....
