Thanks LM - I've worked at IBs on and off for a decade or so, so have a little understanding of how they're structured. I imagine there are quite a few ED residents who work at IBs, but not many "bankers". And even if there were - the Gekko stereotype has moved on a bit, at least aesthetically. Hence my question.

Bishop was OK when the clocks went forward when they

stayed open until 2AM which became 3AM - but definitely

quieter these days.


New Cross is lively these days (probably Goldsmiths students) :)

New Cross, Brixton, Peckham if you're more youthful than I. The white horse in Pecknam I quite like. There are some decent pubs in Dulwich too though. It's great how the whole of SE London is changing, with new places opening up all the time.

Not sure. An empty pub is rarely fun. A pub in Harlow full of tracksuited nitwits shouting at the football isn't much fun either, no matter who you're with.

Since moving from ED I've been going to several new (to me pubs)....and love them.


Railway at Tulse hill

Tulse Hill Hotel

Goldsmiths at Penge

Royal Albert at New Cross

Sylvan Post Forest Hill


Working my way toward Gypsy Hill next...

I meant - I've had some really great nights in complete dumps, because I was keeping hilarious company.

Back to the original theme of the thread I think Sweaty Betty is a complete waste of time.

if I want work out gear I go to Decathlon In Surrey Quays/Canada water.

Great choice and really good value for pretty decent quality stuff.

I think its pointless spending a bomb on things you will sweat in and that need constant washing.

TK Maxx are pretty goof for branded sportswear too - under half price. I guess it's "last season" but I really couldn't care less - not like I replace my sportswear each season anyway. I might check Sweaty Betty out in the sale, but their usual prices are way more than I would spend on sportswear.

Yes but it's "more than something to sweat in, it's a tool for transformation"


That's what Tamara's inspirational omni-channel sports retailer of the year, one to watch, award winning website will tell you. Even when you're paddle boarding in Witterings or mid-run on a copa cabana beach, not driving your 1970's VW convertible with your dog Ennis thinking of your global fitness powerhouse or going to the coffee shop on the paddle board


Did I mention the paddle board already?


Yeah ok, so now you know

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
