hi guys and girls, most of you have probably seen me posting on for hair dressing services etc..


Im 25 and have been in east dulwich for around 5 months now but really struggling to meet people.

I work north of the river and dont particularly want to mix work and social lifes anyway.


ive seen lots of fashionable cool looking young people around east dulwich and peckham mainly around the victoria inn but am just so petrified of going it alone to meet people....



looking to meet local 20 - 28 yr olds still up for it and going out and about locally


so any friendly locals looking to expand there friendship circles drop me a line!

Untamedstylist - I"m sure there's a group that advertises on here for meet ups, called london socialising or something? No idea what age group they are though. Or perhaps if you like sports there are groups around to cater for that? Can be a good way in to meet new people in your area? Or film? Or whatever it is you like doing in your free time.


I think sometimes that its quite difficult to meet people when you move to a new area and your colleagues and friends are on other sides of the river etc. Sometimes its strange to think that living in one of the most major cities, with busy people all around us, it can be hard to make new friends and it can be a lonely place at times.


Good luck and hope you find some like-minded people that are roughly your age group! :)

I'm open to befriending all ages and sex's just wanting to go out and about to meet others... It's so incredibly hard almost to the point of severely depressing... Driving past all the bars seemingly heaving with people and scared to approach on Ur own... Ir was different in Australia people say hello to u when u simpley pass them in the street it's so easy to make friends there... Seems london is very hard and can be very unwelcoming and people seem to be in groups of people they've probably grown up with it's horrible starting over in mid 20's or older... It's easy if in education or bar / nightclub work I'm sure but already do about 60 hrs a week in a hair salon, last thing I want it is a bar job and it also consumes Ur life.. Been there done that.... Thanks for the encouragement peeps....

Sorry for the teasing - that's life on the forum, and most us are in abject fear of getting past it, hence reaction to age ranges. oh maybe thats just me.

London is quite hard, it took me a good 10 years to really settle into life here. I used to potter around on weekends and felt like life was going on around me, without me and London can make you feel like that - but it isnt you it is just the veneer of this city. It seems you can either move here with a group, make friends through work or make friends through a shared interest. I have made friends through work but the trouble with that is people are in different locations and then there is the private overstepping professional dilemma. So after 10 years of dithering round the outskirts, I joined a local sports group, lets just say previous to this I was not sporty, but I now know friends locally and it does make a difference. There are a few non sport groups on this forum, book groups, monthly drinks and people who get together. Also I know there are some Aussie expat forums - though I dont know whether they meet locally. Have a look in the whats on section too. Sorry dithering post, with nothing concrete to suggest, maybe come along to the barry road race, the ladies football team will look after you!

Ah, & urm...


Well, it's probably true to a degree, though i've now got a range of all ages in my life. But it's taken me 25 years or so to do it.


U.T S. Just keep an open heart and a positive mind set , I'm sure it will come right.


It is hard but not impossible.

Thanks for responses guys... I already checked out city socialising site but seems a great lack of southern londoners that actually respond and sadly due to my work schedule it doesn't leave me much time to attend group acctivutys as much as I'd love to which I was hoping to befriend some locals I could just pop down and chillaxing with on route back from work etc...


I was half expecting abuse and mickey taking but thought what the hell it's worth a try, nothing ventured nothing gained but actually seeing some nice responses... Very unexpected and thanks..

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
