Or a train from Forest Hill might be easier...


I would go with the cab plan, as Pies says, it shouldn't be more than ?8... That said, I always get charged ?7 to go home to Sydenham, and end up giving them a tenner because I feel to tight to sit there waiting for my change... Silly I know.

Went EDT, Inside 72 and Cherry something.


Inside 72 was best but EDt had real beer.


Loads of girls out drinking- a bit like Whitley Bay.


Will be looking for another excuse for a Camberwell Palace Summit on the Lane in the not too distant future.


We did get abused by a drunk bird out with her g.b.f. in Indside 72. My mate told him to reign in his bird and he promptly went for a twenty minute poo. She was leathered and really I'm sure she just wanted to play but could only manage a few slurred insults.


Good evening but only 4 pints before the 12.01 exit.


Thanks for all your help and advice Forumfolk.

Iv lived in east dulwich for 14 years and been to all the pubs and bars on lordship lane and seen them change over the years, but never have i hated one place and one owner as i do now, i was a reguler at the vale most weekends and was never a fan of the owner (TONY, chubby fella with white hair). many times iv observed the way he acts in the typical manner of power having gone to his head. entering the vale i was turned away and told it was full as i was with two other men, two minutes later a group of woman walk in no problem, my wife came out to talk to me and as she went to go back inside tony said, and i quote " get ur bag and coat and you can f**k off aswell" before hiding behind b ouncers may i add.

is that a way to talk to people, word on the street is havin acted in this way with many people it has become very quiete down ther,

Welcome big b.


Your story doesn't surprise me, that's exactly how I've seen him act on a number of occasions. I won't touch the place with a barge pole and I know that's true of quite a number of others, put off by his high-handed behaviour.


Your talk of it being empty has veritably made my day. The sooner it becomes a financial drain, the sooner he'll be tempted to sell up and a proper publican can run it.


Oh and here we like to call it NTV (Never The Vale) :))

My brother DJ'd there a couple of times a while ago (he quit when he realised what an awful place it is). The manager asked him not to play and hip hop or R&B, because he didn't want the "wrong type" of people coming in... I'm sure we all know what he meant...

He's a c**t. That's all I have to say about the bloke right now.


Hope someone smacks him full in the face one day, and that his glasses break in his eyes. Maybe that's a bit harsh, and I probably don't really want that to happen (the glasses bit), but I wouldn't lose any sleep if it did!


Also, welcome Big B. I recommend the CPT :)-D

    • OP has perhaps inadvertently provided free advertising for Gails, drawing attention to Dulwich Gails being open on Christmas Day.
    • Staff get taxis in and out and get paid extra (which I think is x2). Some people like to work on Bank Holidays and others don’t. Some people actively avoid Christmas for personal reasons. Long live freedom of choice! 
    • Here is another article from the excellent Special Needs Jungle (SNJ) with tips for responses to the SEND conversation survey. Including shoe horning in EHCPs which they "forget" to ask a question about in the conversation. And living as we do in Southwark with the huge misfortune of 100% academy secondary schools, some thoughts on this and how unlikely inclusion in mainstream is within the current education landscape. Closing date 14 Jan 2026. And please consider a donation to the excellent entirely run by volunteers SNJ. In my view the government could save money by creating some smaller mainstream secondary schools for kids who can cope in primary school but not  with the scale of secondary, and need a calmer less busy setting. The funding would have to be different - it is currently on a per pupil basis which favours larger schools. But it would undoubtedly be cheaper than specialist provision, and the huge cost to individual children and families (emotional and financial) and to society. https://www.specialneedsjungle.com/tips-help-complete-governments-send-conversation-survey-law/ If anyone wants to take a radical step to help their struggling child, my tip is to move far away: these are the best two schools I have ever visited and in a beautiful part of the country. I only wish we'd moved there before it was too late for my son who had to suffer multiple failings at Charter North and then at the hands of Southwark SEND, out of education from February to October in year 10-11, having already suffered the enduring trauma of a very difficult early life, which in combination with ADHD made his time at schools which just don't care so very unbearable for all of us. https://www.cartmelprioryschool.co.uk/ https://settlebeck.org/ As an add on, I would say to anybody considering adoption, please take into account the education battles that you are very much more likely to face than the average parent. First you have schools to deal with, already terrible; then being passed from pillar to post within Southwark Education, SEND, Education Inclusion Team, round and round as they all do their best to explain why they are not responsible and you need someone different, let's hold another multi-agency meeting, never for one minute considering that if they put the child at the centre and used common sense they would achieve a lot more in much less time without loads of Southwark employees sitting in endless meetings with long suffering parents. It is hard to fully imagine this at the start of your adoption journey, full of hope as you are, but truly education is not for the faint hearted, and should be factored into your decision. You'll never hear from people who are really struggling and continue to do so, only from those who've had challenges but overcome them and it's all lovely. And education, the very people who should be there to help, are the ones who make your lives the most hellish out of everything your child and you face.
    • It’s a big problem all over London. I’ve seen it happen in Kennington and Bloomsbury in the last year. I think there has been some progress recently with some key arrests, but you do need to be very careful when walking around with your phone out, especially, as you say, if wearing noise cancelling headphones. Sorry you experienced this
