We are having my son's christening in may and had planned on having the after do at the black cherry but they called yesterday saying they are closing down.. I am trying to find out if it is closing down entirely or being taken over but am looking for another venue in the meantime.. I've heard of the gg centre but not been in there myself.. Is it just a hall? I'm not keen on a hall so will skip it if it is.. Thanks x

Two halls with a partition wall that can be removed to make one big hall. Loads of decent seats and tables, which you can decorate and a smallish but serviceable kitchen and toilets!


You would have to do all the catering yourself. Friends of ours had a wedding blessing in the adjacent St John's church and then a do in the GG Centre, brought all their own wine and refreshments etc. It was lovely.


If you don't want to do it all yourself, then perhaps Locale on East Dulwich Road as an alternative venue or I saw a Christening party going upstairs in the ED Tavern a few weeks ago.


Good luck.

Thanks both. A friend of mine is having hers above the edt in a couple of weeks so I'm going to check that out but it seems v ???? same with locale but we are going to go and talk to them today as not sure my other half has the figures right.. Hoping to avoid the do it ourselves option so then we can relax and enjoy the day but I guess we will have to see what our options are.. Thanks again x

Hi Strawbs

We had our wedding reception in the goose green centre and it was lovely. We got caterers in who got the tables ready aswell. you're not allowed to play music on a stereo but they have a piano and little stage. Our daughter was Christened at the church too and we had tea and cake in the foyer of the centre afterwards. I think you might be able to rent that bit separately. http://www.stjohnseastdulwich.org/

I used Goose Green centre once for a kids birthday party - it's a great space for lots of kids!!! It is hall - but it's a nice hall and the kitchen is good. I think if there will be lots of kids there, having it at the hall will be very easy and as other's have suggested, get a nice caterers in.

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
