I'm assuming Silverfox means the 'Strip' portion of LL rather than the bit by the Harvester. Probably not a good idea due to it being such a Main route. If it needs to be a destination point then Northcross road would be better. Better still would be any of the residential roads which could be more easily closed to traffic.

Totally agree. I don't think that you'd get permission to close Lordship Lane anyway.


Not fussed one way or another to be honest, doubt I'd join in. And whilst I wish them every happiness, as I would any other couple, I'm really not that interested.


I'm much more interested in celebrating my own first wedding anniversary, which will be the very next day :)

From the Library down to Goose Green would be ideal. However, given the gradient of the hill for tables, stalls etc, perhaps more practical would be from the Magdala down to Goose Green and sideways along North Cross Road.


There could be clowns, magicians for the children, bands, street performers, neighbours could come together with their own picnics, local shops, restaurants could have their own food stalls, coffee/tea stalls, the pubs would be open all day.

May day celebration sounds good. Goose green the venue.

Maypole, olde pipers,morris men.craft stalls,etc.

It used to be fun until, the socialists and Russians ruined it.

Nice time to celebrate spring.

But as for celebrating with a street party,no I dont agree,

They were for Coranations and victories origionally.

Best kept in the city.

The best street parties I've helped with have lots of keen residents. The part of Lordship Lane you propose has relatively few residents.

The bus route diversions would be complicated and that a lot of bus routes diverting even for a bank holiday. Equally its main emergency service route without any traffic calming.

What would work really well is side roads having street parties and I hope lots do use the royal wedding to hold a street party. Fingers crossed it s a sunny day.

BUT if anyone is thinking of holding a street party you'll need to get cracking as the noticing etc of closing a road and getting police, fire, ambulance agreement takes 6-8 weeks and the that bank holiday is only 14 weeks away.

      New Local Restaurant Reviews Website

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

      Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Angelina · Posted

      Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s.
