I think there is still a shoes/clothes recycling bank outside of North Dulwich station.

I'm not so sure the collection team are that bothered anymore. Two houses either side of me are rented and the tenants just chuck their rubbish - mostly bagged - in the blue or green bins depending on which has space in, not based on what it is. The blue bins are always emptied.

Southwark's list of School Gates is here: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/parking/parking-permits/school-streets/current-school-streets This section of the website says that they only apply in Term Time and gives a link to the Term Dates here: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/schools-and-education/school-term-and-holiday-dates The local anomaly is that two of the streets are for JAGS and Alleyns but these schools have longer holidays and different term dates !

US (Boston) all-female quintet that play Celtic inspired folk. Only playing 4 dates in the UK, one of which is at the Hootananny in Brixton, on the 37 bus route. Google them for more info or here on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/scottishfishband?igsh=YnhjcWNiY2hoMzhp

Waitrose.

Buy it from the supermarket. Cut in it into wedges. Wrap neatly in greaseproof paper. No one will no any different.

So you want non-supermarket, artisan cheese, for 20 adults. Decent cheese from a cheesemonger will cost at least £25 a kg (probably more), so allowing 100g each that's 2kg so expect to pay £50-£60. Good luck finding anything cheaper that isn't from a supermarket.

Vans are restricted to one hour a day 8:30 to 9:30 and have to be pre-booked. So long as you went with and were able to show the right ID then I doubt it would be an issue unless the builders van is emblazoned with their branding as businesses aren't allowed to use it.

I came across this the other day. Probably the closest I personally ever came to one like this was my first office party in my first job. Not sure that many are like this anymore.

Heritage Cheese, the cheese shop that was in Dulwich Village and closed suddenly in August, has been fined £150,000 for food safety breaches. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/news/2025/heritage-cheese-fined-ps150000-after-two-severe-food-safety-breaches-uncovered-southwark Yeeauuch.

Scobies in Dulwich Village perhaps.

Why make it one property ? If own more that one property which together amount to over £2m then why should I escape this measure ? (I don't btw).

Waitrose.

There is an approved planning application (24/AP/0643) to reconfigure the site, keeping it as a builders merchants. I had thought that the one at the top of Railway Rise was going to move here once the dust has settled over that site being redeveloped. 24_AP_0643-PROPOSED_SITE_DEVELOPMENT-3956284.pdf
