By popular demand, our remit now includes the whole of the SE15 postcode area.


The rapidly growing NHF now covers all of Nunhead and Peckham, and is London's longest running SE15 forum - now expanded to include a new Family section as requested by our membership:


We welcome all ED members who live, work or pass through SE15.

Don't descriptives such as 'rapidly growing' and 'by popular demand' look slightly absurd when half the posts on the first page in The Lounge were made sometime back in 2010?


I've popped along from time to time for a look, but it's like going into an Angus Steak House, only with plastic chairs.


I think you'd do better with a more realistic plea.


Please join the Nunhead Forum. It's dead on its ass. If more people joined, it might get better.

Funny things though forums.... What makes one succeed and another fail? On the face of it there's no reason why a neighbouring spot could equal or better the EDF. I've always thought it's in the foundation of the administration (credible, neutral, assertive with a touch of wit). Then you need small team of (unpaid) volunteers behind that to give you the man power to deal with the daily idiots, bots, spammers etc that threaten measured content. And then you still need to attract a critical mass of a range of posters who'll make it all worth reading.


The EDF started with most of that in place. The admin here have had the odd slip up but have managed to get lot more right and continue to do...mostly unpaid.


Take a peek at other local forums and the admin is clumsy, over firm and often small minded. They are a void of life and run by men with golf jumpers and a Magic Tree in the car.

Hi Huguenot,


I'm not sure what happened there as I've only been running the NHF for a year, but you are very welcome to re-register and I shall make sure I look out for you.

I think you are mistaken kh. H mentioned a well known local forum. Must be another one.

That's quite a commute in store for you then!

I see that - having not posted on the Nunhead forum lounge for two days - in fact NOBODY has posted on the Nunhead forum lounge in two days - you have accepted that the Nuhead malaise is terminal and posted here instead. I just popped in there and got knocked down by tumbleweed.
There have been 12 NHF threads that members have posted in either today or yesterday. Only The Lounge subforum was last posted in two days ago, but it's always been the quietest part of the NHF as most people are clearly concerned with local and important issues rather than a load of waffle from people who need to get out more :)-D

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
