Thanks to a fund from Southwark Council, there will be a Xmas Parade in Dulwich Village, West Dulwich & Lordship Lane. If you would like to participate, please do get in touch. Additionally, there will be a Christmas Market in dulwich park on Sunday 5th December. Again, email if you are interested.

Finally, on Wednesday 29th September, the South Southwark Business Association will be holding it's AGM at the Crown & Greyhound from 6.30pm. All welcome.

Thanks tfc


I have to ask a very cynical question, but


in order to save our local shops we need to shop locally, therefore why are we not holding the christmas market in the heart of lordship lane so that it encourages people to visit the market and also shop on lordship lane. by holding it away from our main shopping area are you not encouraging people away from our local shops at at time they need the spend the most ?


Just a thought but wouldn't it be better to work with rather then against the interests of the local traders ?

I would add to ArtfulDogger's comment that spending Southwark Council's money on promoting an already successful area may not be the best use of public funds. Most local traders would prefer a permanent reduction in business rates to a one off - and as AD has pointed out, poorly targeted effort.

I?m sure it probably has more to do with Dulwich Park being an open public area with the facilities and space available to host a market and lordship lane being a busy crowed high street and thoroughfare.


Goose Green would be an option to bring people to LL but things like parking and access are probably much easier in Dulwich Park.

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
