hey realdeal,


to be honest I could never understand what all the fuss was about. Apart from the two table tennis tables -THAT'S IT! I guess people don't like change is what it boils down to- but I am hoping that those people who were so incensed will see that the improvements we've made are small and a good "fit" for the park. Bloody hard work to win the argument but seeing all those kids using the equipment gladdens my heart it does...

hi kitty,


many many thanks for the post! Lovely to see so many young people enjoying themselves in a space which was once so empty. We have no further plans for developments in WG- but we are keen for new members to join us to give us their input on our plans for next year- including a dog show AND the return of the fabulous Warwick Wingding!


Our next meeting is November 30th at 7pm. Please come along...

Yes, well done Andy. The new equipment looks great and fits in perfectly. I was in WG yesterday afternoon and it was great too see so many kids enjoying that part of the park.

Such a shame there isn't a Wingding this year in this lovely weather.

Thanks to you both!


At our last meeting we were discussing the WINGDING and generally kicking ourselves for not having enough people on board to organise it this year.


We REALLY want to bring it back next year- bigger and better (but not louder) than ever. If anyone is able to help in any way- however small, we'd appreciate it. A festival on this scale takes months of planning and the more active support we have- the easier it is!!


We're thrilled people like the new play equipment. Hopefully the new (indestructible) table tennis tables will be as popular too!


Keep the feedback coming. We do sometimes feel its a thankless task and reading your positive comments gives us all a big sense of achievement,


Cheers, Andy

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
