There is nothing wrong with having a party, but it's only polite to speak to your neighbours in advance (which it sounds like they did in this case). East Dulwich is not the city, it is very much a suburban, residential area.

I thought Lush were a 90s indie band

Sounds eminently reasonable tbh.

It's totally unreasonable to have an all night party in a quiet residential street without speaking to your neighbours in advance. The fact that the noise team shut it down also speaks volumes (excuse the pun). I think the OP was lucky that it was midnight and not later on in the night as (ironically) the noise team close up shop much after that.

Genuine question - do they allow local schools to use their facilities (as in the link James posted) for free, or do they charge them? If the former, then that is something at least. although they do get tax breaks in return of course.

Was that Hemmingway or Louisa?

It's a mocking term for frothing, rage filled, ranty men - Who last time I checked, don't constitute a race.

Louisa? Has she gone?

I totally agree, but please no more speed bumps. How about average speed cameras?

A nailbar!

How about building a massive statue of a buggy and a skinny latte.. it could be known as 'the Gateway to Dulwich' and be a new local landmark.

Ffs. Rise of the idiots

Is there a wedding happening?

I don't know whether anyone has noticed, but we pay taxes in SE London too. So perhaps we could get the same transport infrastructure as the rest of the Capital?

We need the tube extended into SE London (as it is in every other section of the Capital), boris bikes (again, every other part of London has them), cycle superhighways (again....) and secure bike parking at Elephant, Brixton, Oval and Kennington.

The BBRR should so be bought back.

If they do bring in a CPZ perhaps we could encourage something like this: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/17/sun-terraces-and-lawns-dutch-residents-transform-parking-spaces

Apparently I joined on 26/09/2007. Over 5,000 posts. I'm wasting my life.

There are chains which could work there, but not a PE.

It could work as a pub /restaurant, but it would be more profitable as housing. A cynic might suggest that this is why there has been a fire followed by a long period of dereliction.

I can't believe that Pizza Express would do well in that location. There are so many better pizza joints nearby (and also a PE in the Village).

... and when you say a lorry, I think you actually mean a truck, if you look at the definition....

The accusation of homophobia, is ridiculous. Describing the two men as being a couple is simply that, a description. also, it seems to massively miss the point, which is that the OP's wife was verbally abused in the park, which is a pretty horrible experience. This forum is getting beyond parody. To also pick on the choice of wording used and argue over the definition of 'assault' - I mean, come on people. If someone said they were run over by a lorry, driven by a white man, with red hair, would you offer support, or argue that a lorry can't run and that the drivers ethnicity is irrelevant.
