Snorky/Huncs, in answer to your question: not-quite-cold-enough bottled beer & mediocre cocktails, followed by a knee-trembler behind HSBC and (I'm second-guessing myself here) a visit to the clap clinic on Monday.


What's not to like?

Oh I would love to get my hands on that Boho bar and make something decent out of it. Lots of potential, but seems to make no concerted effort to make it into a venue that people want to go.


Cocktails are great actually, but we only ever stay till Happy Hour is over because we feel there's no real incentive to stay in that bar.

Boho Bar does seem a bit unpleasant. I've been in twice, the first time it was rather dull, the second time there was an air of leering desperation about the place.


I have had many a great night in Adventure, and though I've not been in recent months I'd like to defend the place. It's very cheesy, but it trades off that and is fun. The drinks are nice (and the staff tend to remember what your favourite drinks are if you go in a few times), the staff are funny and friendly, and though it can be boisterous I've never had any problems or felt intimidated or offended by anyone in there. If you want a quiet drink with a friend or a sophisticated evening it's maybe not the best choice, but it's great for a silly night out with a group of people. I think the place gets an unfairly bad rap.

They had a great DJ one of the two times I've been there (because I had a voucher from the Dulwich Tandoori next door for cheap drinks till a table was available).


Don't know whether he's usually there - I think it was a Saturday night.


The other time I went there was live music, but there was hardly anyone else there apart from us, although the music was good (Dan Maitland).

Well said genwilliams... A bunch of us had a great time there a few weeks back, complete with dancing on stools & general silliness. It was the only place open til late (we'd been for a meal in town & fancied carrying on for a bit longer so didn't get back to ED til midnight) & with cheesy music to have a dance to. Not my usual hangout by any means & admittedly the average age of other punters was about 21, but surely nice to have a bit of variety on LL?

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      By redjam · Posted

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
