Looking at the posts on this forum there is a huge demand for a hotel around Dulwich. Even just looking at the weddings/ births threads. Not everyone can squeeze into the Victoria Inn. A hotel would create jobs too. Bring it on ( as long as it does not try to be too expensive- in which case they would have to seriously upgrade the pub food).

A hotel lives or dies by the quality of its service, so this can only be a good thing surely?


I'm assuming that it'll largely retain its pubness downstairs?


"it'll largely retain its pubness downstairs" My, my, one superfluous letter could give that a WHHOOOOLE new meaning!!

Good news. I've been looking for something like this for friends and family to stay in when visiting, actually was hopeful The Dog would have a few B & B rooms and surprised and disappointed when I found out this wasn?t the case. The biggy is going to be how much they are planning to charge...
Yes this is definitely the Crown and Greyhound in Dulwich Village. There is a notice up (not a planning application notice but an information sheet) outside the post office in Dulwich Village. The pub are proposing to convert the building into a twenty-room hotel. They will retain the function room at the front of the building, and convert the function room at the back of the building into (part of the) accommodation. The pub and the restaurant will remain. Should this go ahead, the building will close for 15-17 months while the works are undertaken.

Would the whole place need to close Jagger?

The main reason we are not getting married in Dulwich next year is lack of hotel rooms for those coming from out of town / abroad....I think there must be demand for a nice, 4 star "boutique" hotel in the area. Would be a boost for the area I reckon.

Worst meal I've ever had anywhere, ever, was at the Dog.

The Dog has gone seriously downhill in the last year or so - not sure if there's been a change of ownership or management but the food is now appalling, it used to be just about passable - great waste, partic for what could be such a great place in the village. Very sad state it is in at the mo. maybe this will improve things. A sensitive, not corporate makeover is required.

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying.
