The Queen Anne in Vauxhall is one bus ride away, it is wonderfully seedy and the Landlady is famously 'ard as nails.


Many years ago some Dental student friends of mine went on a stag, the Stag himself finished the night dumped at Marble Arch, naked and with his goolies pained with a bright blue medical dye that does not wash off.


He hovered in the shadows until he saw a Police van and then ran out and flagged them down (he figured that he had no money, his mates were not going to come back and pick him up - so the Police would arrest him the end anyway). The Police took one look at him, took pity, stuck him in the back of the van and took him home. His mates were at his place having a good laugh at his predicament.


They were mortified when Plod knocked on the door and proposed arresting them for assault. The Polce didnt arrest anyone and were just winding them up, but the Stag did get the last laugh.


Until - the wedding one week later, when the wedding night was somewhat undermind by his still very bright blue wedding tackle, his new wife took one look, burst into tears and locked herself in the bathroom.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition 
    • 'Tom Lehrer, acclaimed musical satirist of cold war era, dies aged 97' https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/28/tom-lehrer-dies-aged-97-dead-musical-satirist  
    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
