It certainly would seem to be The Euros..


..All pubs showing the Football are rammed.. There is bound to be much drinking and excitement.


..same as when the Rugby was on..


I haven't been to The Castle for years.. On a previous visit I fell through the floor on the way to the loos..

The old carpet was covering a hole in the floorboards. Proper pub back in those days.. :)


Foxy.

Ah memories Mr. Fox. I stepped in the door one day and the ceiling fell in

Some of us appreciate what we've got when we've got it!


Makes for a rather unhappy life otherwise :)

Went to The Castle last night.


They now only have the very cold Guinness and the ordinary kind seems to have gone.


Just before 9pm the music was turned up from behind the bar to such a high volume I couldn't stand to sit in there any longer.


We took our pints outside, drank them and went elsewhere.


Sorry for the neighbours if that is going to be the way of things now.

Loyalty, commitment seems to mean nothing these days. Sad post. She must be feeling very blue. When will people learn that dedicated service shows great loyalty and passion from their employees and that this place runs through her veins into her heart. I'm sorry to hear this, and I hope ALL the regulars go elsewhere.

There's nowhere much else to go in East Dulwich.


The Castle is/was the last proper pub left round here since the CPT became The Great Exhibition :(

also sad to read this a few days ago, not strictly ED, but it shows the changing face of everywhere.

sad that everywhere is turning into yummy mummy territory. proper south london boozers will be assigned to history.

    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around. 
    • Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
    • The toilets at this spot in the park have been vandalised to such an extent that they are now closed.
    • Hello! I'm looking for 2-3 baby gates I can borrow from 17th August - 6th September for a visitor.  Does anyone have any I could use? Thank you!
