Nostalgia time... Can anyone else remember the indian restaurant that used to be on Northcross Road on the same block as Pretty Traditional. It was like walking into someone's front room. The food was the same old generic tandoori fare though. There used to be a butchers, newsagents and Health food shop on the same block. I'm sure the butchers and health food shop would have done very well nowadays. As far as todays indian restaurants, as a veggie I find the Surma by far the best, with The Coriander a close second. Tandoori Nights and Curry Cabin just seem to throw some frozen veg in a bland sauce for their veggie dishes. btw, how come The Curry Cabin has gone form 0% in your poll to 22% in a couple of days? Have you been infiltrated?

Blue Brick Cafe on Fellbrigg Road. They do real chips, not nasty frozen ones.

I got caught fooling the barriers last year. Forgot to buy my travelcard, saw the huge queues at the ticket booth on the platforms and doubled up with my partner to get through the barriers. Unfortunately a revenue protection officer was stood on the other side disguised as a biker and caught me bang to rights. He chose to ignore the mitigating factors that I had to get a travelcard to continue my journey to Swiss Cottage anyway, and that I'm famously forgetful, which is fair enough I suppose as I could have been lying :) Anyway, they prosecute and take the case to court. I pleaded guilty in my absence and got a couple of hundred fine. Don't risk it!

This story in the South London Press sounds related:

We're very lucky with access to green space in East Dulwich. Don't forget a quick bus ride up Lordship Lane towards Sydenham takes you to Hornimans Gardens. A great green space including a small animal enclosure for the kids to look at, and of course a fabulous free museum with exhibitions and activities for kids most weekends.

Probably not feasible as Lordship Lane is a main arterial route. However, the pedestrianisation of Northcross Road at weekends from Lordship Lane up to the junction of Lacon/Ulverscroft Road would get my vote.
