If you walk down to Forest Hill (10mins walk) you'll pass a fabulous Butcher opposite Sainsbury Post office in WHsmith next to FH station, Deli in AGA's on Dartmouth rd or the Pantry behind FH station, Theres Superdrug and a 'proper' Chemist Boots is on dartmouth rd. There's probably more that I've forgotten but they're an easy stroll away from your end of LL

we go to The vets on Lordship lane thats the Medivet one. Been going 11years and have been happy with the treatment our cat has received. We never feel 'ripped off' by them as an example our cat had to have tartar removed from his teeth which involved an overnight stay and anaesthetic, They then recommended ways to keep the tartar at bay going forward using an inexpensive product available on Amazon and he hasn't needed the expensive treatment since.

I haven't a clue but if it was an actual crime scene I think there would be more than a couple of police stood there with a small area taped off. In fact you wouldn't be able to even walk past because forensics would need to examine the scene. so its a mystery but crime related? I doubt it especially if a fatality is involved.

I do hope the FH gets taken over by another pub chain. It would be awful to see it become yet another church (I dont have anything against churches btw...I just like old cinemas to be repurposed into something for the wider community) Its a beautiful building and I believe it is actually listed.. More importantly although not a Wetherspoons drinker I feel sad for the loss of somewhere that locals can get cheap drinks and cheap hot meal or breakfast. Its also somewhere that a whole family with limited funds can go for a birthday evening out. Not to mention the sad loss of jobs for locals.

Same experience as Sue. Its really annoying.

Ikea are far better. I wouldn't touch B&Q and Wickes

Foxtons are the pits. Pure sharks and positively oily. I do wish it would become a Waitrose though! ****Please note my last paragraph was a joke******

Vits and Kicks here I come!

I want to try Vits and kicks..Went past the other day and checked the menu outside but all I could see was food on the menu and cocktails, I must go in and actually ask the veg juice offerings AND check the price!

I did...But here its mis-leading. On the board they have listed the option of a juice with 2 ingredients (I think I wanted 2 vegetables because as a rule I dont like sweet drinks..) no additions and from memory that was around £4.50. So how come yours was so much more than the price quoted? Did they add gold glitter to it?! Yes...That was what I couldn't work out.. I really didn't hang around to quibble Or point out the quoted price for that juice on the board(she hadn't started to make the juice yet) I questioned the cost and the girl serving said "oh, hang on a moment..." looked at the till and then told me the price quoted was correct. I honestly dont think I was imagining the lower price of that particular juice as to be totally honest it wasn't the one that appealed to me the most I only ordered it because it was the cheapest in theory! Edited to add: I just looked at their menu..I think it was the apple ice mint and ginger I asked for In a small its quoted on their menu as £6.30 I thought it was less but either way I was quoted £1 more and I wasn't even drinking it inside. Still seem like rip off prices for something so basic. Or maybe I'm just old and out of touch.

Or eat whole fruits. At least then you get the fibre. Assuming they aren't giving you the pulp as well in their juices I do eat Fruit but I must admit I do love a green juice (hate fruity juices) with Kale, Spinach, apple and cucumber I make them at home myself in my juicer but this was one of those hot days when I just really really craved a quick veg juice hit without stopping and buying the stuff and doing it myself.

Fancying a nice Veg juice post gym the other day I stupidly thought I'd pop into Joe and the Juice and get one. I expected to pay about £4 which even in Central London is the going rate for a fresh juice. I ordered the simplest juice nothing fancy, not a smoothie not added 'shots' of this or that. I went to pay it was over £7!!! Something like £7.30..I asked the young lady behind the counter to repeat the price. I honestly thought she'd made a mistake. Nope a simple 2 ingredient juice over £7. I said "nope sorry not paying that.." went to Blue Brick and got a decent juice for almost half the price. Who on earth willingly pays these prices?? I dont usually moan about the cost of things but Joe and the Juice is a blatant rip off ! I regularly get my lunch in the west end and have never bothered to go in "joe and the Juice' This was the first and last time. I wonder how long they will last in this location? A family of 4 would pay almost £30 for juices alone...Mindblowing!

Brexit has greatly affected many small businesses. As well as larger ones. The sheer paperwork involved in importing goods to the UK is a headache and time-consuming . Even large stores are being adversely impacted by the paperwork involved these days. Where I work we used to be able to transfer stock from France and Italy in 5 days but now it takes around 6 weeks. I think we will see more and more small independent shops just give up because its not worth the hassle. Sad times.

I also recommend Sparsh, Easy to get to as its opposite Sainsburys on London Road. everything tastes of quality ingredients and its definitely a cut above the usual Curry house. Prices are good too.

Very sad about this. Lovely staff good quality stock (the plants I buy there always thrive unlike those I've purchased from the likes of Homebase and Columbia road), fairly priced. The garden centre in West Dulwich is frankly a bit rubbish, very small selection and overpriced, (I mean the one thats the side of Dulwich College behind the parade of shops). I always look forward to going there to get my stock of plants for my summer pots. They will be missed especially at Christmas when I love getting decorative treats there.

Like Jellybean I am very anxious about the cutting of Local bus routes. In my case its specific to the 12 and 176 which are the only busses I can use to get my job in Central London. I've filled in the consultation forms and petitions but I feel that will be ignored by the powers that be... What are our Councillors doing to make TFL realise that we deserve better, and many locals do need to commute for work.

I believe he did indeed rent a house there when he was over here filming. A colleague of mine has family who live in the village and this is what he told me

Oh Wow!!! its funny! maybe someone was bored

Crown and Greyhound food and service are abysmal last I heard. Franklins is always good. Palmeston ditto

Yes Yes and yes!

Walking past the playing fields opposite Dulwich college around 11am I was actually surprised and angry to see about 3 large rotating sprinkler systems watering the grass behind the running track. We are in a drought for heavens sake !!! The kids are on school holidays and yet there is all that precious water being wasted... walk by and I guarantee you its the only beautiful verdant stretch expanse of grass you'll encounter for miles... Certainly not in any local park I've been to. I really think someone should be called to account for this. Its NOT a puny private garden its a field for heavens sake! I find it really annoying the ignorance and entitlement of this. And no this is NOT a classic rant its about being responsible.

We are regular's at Lucas and go most Saturdays for brunch. The staff and owner recognise us and when we sit outside we also get asked to pay upfront. Do I object? No-the waitress who knew us was apologetic about needing to ask for advance payment but I'm sure they wouldn't have needed to do this if people hadn't eaten then left without paying whilst seated outside. Its a struggle for all independent businesses right now and I'd rather pay upfront and keep Luca's going than go to Megans where the food is truly awful and belongs to a chain.

I too was appalled by the amount of escooters scattered in the above location. If someone was partially sighted they could easily take a tumble over them. It also narrows the pavement at a busy junction. And let us not forget these scooters are also sometimes used by street robbers.

Ditto, I feel safe withdrawing cash in the bank.
