Hi both


My girlfriend and I moved to Bellenden Road a month or so ago. We really like East Dulwich, but our journey to work is from Peckham Rye so it's great to live so close to the station.


Completely agree with Chantelle about the local eateries. We also love the chocolate shop (The Melange - check it out for a thick steamy hot chocolate if you haven't done so yet), Ganapati and the Meat Wagon (which turns up from time to time at the nearby industrial estate of all places). For drinks, Bar Story and the pop-up place on top of the carpark (Franks, I think) are also good fun. Looking forward to the Warwick Gardens WingDing on Saturday week - maybe see you there ...

Consider the graceful, riverine sweep of Bellenden Road as it flows from Danby to Chadwick.


Here on its sunny banks we find bakers, choclatiers, clothiers, launderers, automobile entertainment specialists, hairdressers and licensed victuallers.


Scuttling through the undergrowth are the night animals; prostitutes, addicts and the lost seeking the warmth of a darkened burrow as day breaks.


On the upper, western reaches of the Bellenden slumber the urban masses, tightly secured in loft-converted dwellings.


To the east, the street meanders with estuarine langour and reluctance into the great Peckham Delta.


But here, between Danby and Chadwick, that is all yet to come. And life seems possible.

panda- I moved in to the victoria inn when we opened almost 4 months ago & I have been overwhelmed with the area. I feel like i have lived here for years!

everyone is so friendly & there is a real community feeling around here & i can honestly say i couldn't imagine wanting to live anywhere else.

you have Ganapati on your doorstep which i think is one of the most incredible places you could ever eat.

have you been there yet?

& obviously you came here so i'm glad you approve of your new local. I missed you that evening though so please do pop in & say hi soon.


Stephen W- did you come to the Meatwagon here last night? now we have knocked down the wall for Yianni to work his magic I'm sure he will be visiting again very soon.

    • But a larger number, in a more hotly contested election, didn't. It is an anomaly that Starmer won a landslide in seats with a turnout for Labour which would have shamed Labour leaders in all the 21st and much of the post war 20th century.
    • I was not suggesting anything else!   I'm not sure how you interpret what I said  as "irrelevant"? I was responding to a post saying that Corbyn was "unelectable". My point was that a  large number  of the electorate  voted for him!
    • that's exactly what happened - Brickhouse were forced to close due to rent hike and then Gail's didn't move in until covid restrictions lifted and normality resumed. Gail's would have opened much sooner as they were lined up and able to offer the landlord much higher rents. Brickhouse was a local favourite
    • The Brickhouse closed just before Covid December 2019. Nothing to do with Gails muscling in as they didn't move into till December 2022. Stop trying to fit a false narrative into a story
