[BrandNewGuy]

Nice to see the short-lived Pussey Liquor alongside such names as Squat and Gobble, Phat Phuc and Sophie's Choice:

Sidcup is in Kent..

DulwichFox

[JohnL]

But is in the London Borough of Bexley - so one of those a bit dual natured - like Bromley.

[Loz]

I thought I once passed a restaurant called Lahore House, but Google seems to think it doesn't exist, which is a shame.

It used to be in Kent, since 1960 something it's been part of Greater London. If you go back far enough (1889) East Dulwich was in Surrey!

That might tie-in as to why why Surrey play cricket at the Oval?...

[vicki08]

There is a Lahore one restaurant in Whitechapel

Yep and Middlesex at Lord's, and why in the Boat Race the crew winning the toss get a choice of the Surrey or Middlesex station.

I eat in Lahore in Tooting

Going off track I passed a shop somewhere in Europe called 'Fanny Boutique' - got a photo somewhere. Here is another https://yellowprod-fcd.kxcdn.com/uploads/gallery_picture/picture/9502/presentationp1bis.jpg

It's a genunine ladies' clothers shop, just my childish sense of humour made me think of this.

Ouch !

Not a restaurant, but lest we forget .... Rim World in the Walworth Road ....

[taper]

Rim world, yes. Is it still there? I recall there was once a woman's clothes shop in Dalston called Spoilt Bitch. And on my holidays this year, I'm looking forward to a splendid repast at the Sour Grapes in St Agnes

Sadly it changed its name. I think somebody must have told it.

But I don't think it's there at all any more. It was a hat shop.

My brother wondered whether they confused brim and rim :)

[DulwichFox]

Why the confusion ?

Rim is a type of Hat..

Foxy

[Sue]

Perhaps you have missed the point Fox.

Google "rim" and look at the Urban Dictionary definition .....

There used to be a restaurant in the Kings Road SW3 Ho Lee Fook and as a side mention to a shoe shop that I recall the name but forgot the location Rsoles

Zackly. It's London.

[siousxiesue]

Again not food related but there was a nail/beauty salon in Brockley called Angina. Think it was two girl's names put together!

[miga]

A boy at primary school was diagnosed with "angina pectoris". We all (including him) thought it was hilarious for the same reason.

Sadly IBS bakery in Sydenham closed down
