citizenEd has it pretty much sewn up there, although I would add that if you can bring yourself to venture a little further into SE15, then:


Lucky 7s on a Thursday at the Gowlett

Frank's Cafe and Campari Bar


both good for a party (and Frank's for a drink any time Thurs to Sun)

I agree Dogger...



James sounds like a "bit of a tool" ( as you said in your PM to me ) BUT


..PERSONALLY I'm prepared to cut him some slack


I'm sure Mrs B is an "Uptown Girl" eh...?



Anyway I'm "cool" here at "party central"

Ah - Frank's, as in the 'rooftop project'. I now recall reading about it last year in the Metro. So it's back for a 2nd season. I will certainly make the effort to check it out - thanks!

Thanks Dogger. Granted, 'downtown' probably isn't the fairest description of East Dulwich, though in the context of comparing it to the relatively narcoleptic Village, it was meant as a compliment. Down with those hairs!

What is so terrible about Adventure Bar? So long as you go for happy hour so it isn't ridiculously expensive, it's lively and the cocktails are decent. Little too loud for a place without a dance floor perhaps, but I usually have a good time.


I'm a relative ED noob, not having experienced this Inside 72 place, or the drum. What were so good about them?

A lot of people dislike Adventure because it?s everything inside 72 wasn?t. Inside 72 was a dark dingy little place that sold interesting beer, had various rock memorabilia on the walls played good music, didn?t have any need for big burly visible bouncers etc.


Adventure replacing it was just a bit of a shock to the system.


The Drum too was individual in it s own way. It had personality. Granted that personality was sometimes grumpy, hungover and cantankerous but when it was on form it was quite sublime.

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      By bonaome · Posted

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      Bitey Fox.

      By SophieA · Posted

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
