There is a poster up in Dulwich Village saying that there will be a public meeting on Saturday 4th November, 2pm at the pavilion of the Streatham & Marlborough Cricket Club by the junction of Lordship Lane and Dulwich Common (opposite the Grove Tavern) to talk about its future - it is facilitated by the Dulwich Society who are keen to find out what neighbours would like to see on the site - given that neither the Dulwich Estate (the freeholder)nor the Council can agree on what should happen. If you have a view it might be worth attending.

Thanks for this - we live close by and will come along. My understanding (gleaned on here more than anything) is that the Dulwich Estate want to turn it into housing (and have declined approaches from supermarkets and fast food outlets) and the Council want it to go back into commercial use or as an old people's home. Does anyone know if that's the latest state of play? I would love to see it reopen as a pub but - as was pointed out last time I said that - it just doesn't seem to be viable.

There is an item in Dulwich Society?s latest newsletter which gives the current state of play and the announcement that Southwark Council have agreed to fund a charette (no neither had I) - go to the bottom of http://www.dulwichsociety.com/2017-autumn/1551-dulwich-society-news


The Society?s home page also announces that Southwark Council have rejected the DE proposal to build almshouses on land currently occupied by Judith Kerr

The inefficiency of democracy, eh ? Benevolent dictators have their advantages at times.


This site has lain empty for years and years. The owners and the council bleat about lack of money and yet they are staring in the face of a huge lost opportunity. Years of no business, no housing, no income, no improvement to the local environment. Probably years of no business, no housing, no income, no improvement to the local environment to follow on too.


It makes me want to weep.

To Dulwich Estate? or to someone else? Either way its not particularly helping anyone. Unless you are one of the benefactors of one of the school bursaries?

Appalling location for a care home, equally the elderly or otherwise vulnerable people who might be housed in the almshouses - horribly busy junction, noise, accident hotspot, pollution, little in easy walking distance etc.


There has been an inn on that site for over two hundred years apparently. The eponymous Mr Cox who cut Cox's walk to link to Sydenham Wells owned it in the late 1700s. How about a bar/club? Need a dance venue around here.

The Sydenham Wells is a fake connection.

An Account of a New Purging Spring Discovered at Dulwich in Surrey, by Mr. John Martyn, F. R. S. Prof. Botan. Cantab


Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (1683-1775), Vol. 41 (1739 - 1741), pp. 835-838

In the Autumn of 1739, Mr. Cox, the Master of a well-known House of good Entertainment, called the Green Man at Dulwich, lying about a Mile beyond the village, was desirous to dig a Well for Service of his House, there being no Spring of good Water near it.


December 11 1740.

Yeh, I noticed that the other day.


Please please please don't bring back the Harvester, it was horrible (in my opinion).

    • I was woken around midnight the other night as a Lime man tried to untangle a heap of three bikes someone had piled on my driveway. They block the pavements and people knock them over in frustration. I wrote to Lime and told them that in future any bikes left near my property would be securely stored away for collection at a mutually convenient time for both parties. I confiscated one at the weekend but a man knocked on our door looking to rent it while I was at work and my son gave it to him! I told Lime it's not fair of them to push the problem on to the local collection depots, they create the problem by allowing users to dump the things wherever they like. If they were penalized for doing so that would put an end to it.

That’s why I’m asking you to support our emergency Crowdfunder: 👉https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-sdcas  Even a small donation, or sharing this with your friends and family, will make a huge difference in helping us to reach our £70,000 goal and keep SDCAS open.

    • The address is: Bradbury Oak House, 4 Underhill Road, SE22 0AH
    • "2.2.1 The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has undertaken a comprehensive consultation process with its residents and stakeholders regarding the proposed development which aims to create 41 additional units and has been designed to address the growing demand for accessible and supportive accommodation for individuals with visual impairments. 2.2.2 The consultation process has been a key part of the planning phase, ensuring that the needs and preferences of current residents are taken into account. RNIB has held several meetings, workshops, and surveys to gather feedback on the design, facilities, and overall impact of the new development. Residents have been encouraged to share their views on various aspects, including accessibility features, communal spaces, and the integration of the new blocks with the existing infrastructure which has directly informed the proposals. 2.2.3 The Applicant also engaged with the local MP, Helen Hayes, and a couple of local councillors at the behest of RNIB tenants to provide new homes to promote independent living for its Blind and Partially Sighted residents"     Seems like a very sensible and necessary proposal to me.
