Just to say a big thanks to Georgia for organising last night, my first gathering & hopefully not my last! Had a great time meeting everyone who knew all the places in ED! Great for someone who's just moved here got in at 5.30 this morning! Not what I imagined ha! Great! Thanks again here's to the next one

Thanks to Georgia for organising, and to the Cherry Tree for the good service and warm welcome - the prosecco and nibbles were a very thoughtful touch.


I'd never been inside the pub in the 7 years I'd lived in the area, always looked rather unwelcoming from the outside, but I would go back now.


Just needs a few more people to make the effort to go off Lordship Lane and visit them.

That is usually how it works - also the organizer usually books a table at the pub to make sure there's somewhere to sit together - has been known to have twenty or more turn up to these if well publicized in advance.


Be nice if someone new took on the responsibility to set up, it often falls to the same people which is a little unfair.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • 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" ?
