Woo hoo - well, keep us posted.


Not only does the 484 drop you virtually at the door, so does the 343. Otherwise, it's any bus going along Forest Hill Road and a walk across the park, or along the road-whose-name-escapes-me that runs along the top of the park. It's really not far.

Good luck with the re-opening h1981, are you able to divulge anything at all about the changes you are making?


I love the back room so hope that won't be changing!


Sorry not to have filled in your QA, I've only just seen it so probably too late now. Anyway the Ivy House is a long way from where I live so I only tended to go there for live music gigs unless in the area for some other reason.

Hi Sue. I am merely the messenger. I saw there was clearing out going on a couple of days ago so popped in and had a chat with the new guys. The back room is not changing and neither from what I could see is the general interior character of the place. They've already put in some good looking wooden pew type seats in the back bar area. They're the same crew who run The Joiners in Camberwell, which features live music regularly, and they'll be putting on plenty of music at The Ivy House too (how could you not?!), though because of noise issues nothing overly amplified apparently.


Anyway, they said they knew about The Nunhead Forum, so I mentioned this Forum too - hopefully they'll post some more details themselves some time soon.


Something of possible interest to those who remember the pub in its early/mid seventies "Dr Feelgood, Ian Dury, etc" days, when it was called The Newlands Tavern (and I think should be so again) - I had the pleasure of meeting the Fentimans recently who were the couple who ran the pub then. Great to hear their account of that time from the horse's mouth (horses' mouths?) and to learn how they made such a success of the place.

Hey that all sounds good, just wish it wasn't such a trek from mine :)


Wonder if they'll be doing food, just before they closed last time they had started doing Sunday roasts (I think), I vaguely remember having one during one of their all-afternoon gig things.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
