Another recommendation for First Aid Box! (Sister bar to the above mentioned Shrub and Shutter) The Crooked Well in Camberwell also do excellent cocktails A little further afield - Brunswick House in Vauxhall is also great

Gary Vu has fixed lamps for me in the past - highly recommend him!

Try Sebastian - he walks our dogs twice a day and he also does dog training His number is 07894 229 903

Try Sebastian - he walks our whippets twice daily and I believe he also looks after dogs in his own house - His number is 07894 229 903

Myla and Davis are excellent for highlights and cuts - there's a branch on North Cross Road (also in Herne Hill and Brixton) In the past I spent a lot of time (and money!) at bigger brand salons in the West End, and personally I think the quality at Myla and Davis is just as good (and I'm quite particular with cut and colour..)

I highly recommend Sebastian - he's been walking our two whippets for a while and they are always happy and tired in the evening. He's also very interested in dog training / behaviour so provides lots of useful tips and observations. His number is 07894 229 903

Hi Louise We had some of our panels replaced by Keith at KN Stained Glass Ltd - he did an excellent job. His number is 07834 973 859

Most pubs around ED are totally fine with dogs - the only ones I know of that don't allow dogs are the EDT and Palmerston Quite a lot of shops are dog-friendly too... although often depends on the size of the shop and dog!

I've also seen some "wood" tiles recently which looked quite interesting - might be worth a look for a kitchen area? (easy to clean, no chance of food falling into the cracks!) I think I saw some in the tile shop up near The Plough on Lordship lane

Hi Becky We used a company called KN Stained Glass Ltd to repair the stained glass in our Edwardian front door. Keith did a fantastic job and the work was very reasonably priced. KN Stained Glass Ltd - Keith Neiles - 07834 973 859

Yes, I've used them for both my downstairs living rooms floors and recently for a bedroom. Both times they did an excellent job - very tidy, great finish. The bedroom had quite a few floor boards which needed replacing - you'd never be able to tell which ones have been added. Everyone who has seen the finished floors has been amazed by how good they now look.

Just saw this thread today - what a terrible experience! Your poor dog :-( If anyone is looking for a reliable dog walker - I second the recommendation above for Kamila. She has been walking our dogs for years and is totally trustworthy and highly recommended. Her number is 07971 141 197

Gary Vu (electrician) was recommended to me on the forum, and he completed several small jobs for me. He was reliable, helpful and honest about his pricing. I will definitely use him again. If you do a search for him, you can find lots of other positive feedback for him.

Another recommendation for Matthew - just finished lots of decorating work (plastering, painting) in our house, and he and his guys did a good job, were helpful and reliable.

I have two lamps which have stopped working following a house move (one floor standing lamp, one table top). I've tried taking them apart and putting back together again with no joy - so perhaps they need completely new fittings. Does anyone have any recommendations as to where I can get these fixed locally?
