Hotel / b&b suggestions in ED & surrounding?

Recommended Posts

Hello forum friends,


I?m wondering if anyone has any suggestions of a nice hotel and/or b&b in ED or the immediate surrounding areas? My in-laws are hoping to visit us in our new flat and want to stay local to the area - but I don?t know where to suggest! I?ve seen The Lilac Door and was thinking about recommending that but wanted to see if there were any other local gems to suggest? Thanks ever so much!

There was a previous thread on this which I used when looking for a plaice for some visiting relatives. Should you still be looking, they stayed at the InnKeeper's Lodge @ the Crown & Greyhound pub in the centre of Dulwich Village. They were there on Tuesday night and thought it was lovely (attached a link) www.innkeeperslodge.com/crown-and-greyhound.

A belated follow up - my in laws ended staying up at the Victoria inn and seemed to really like it (although my father in law was a bit grumpy about a 2am fire alarm but never mind). Rooms were apparently cosy and comfortable with nice mini toiletries, and it went down so well that I think they?ll stay there again when visiting us. Thanks all!

I think everyone will agree with me - living with relatives is extremely embarrassing for both you and them. Moreover, there are wonderful promotions and special offers on https://planetofhotels.com/en/. Depends only on your wishes for the selection. I am sure that you can find something for an adequate price.

    • 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" ?
    • 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."
