Bot?

No salsaboy, not nearly generic enough.

Sorry Derek the forum has recently been beset by bot generated 'hi I'm new to the forum what gives guys' posts.

I too live in Le Village Champion sur le Coline. The dry cleaners by the George Canning has served us well over the years.

Pub wise it's more quiet drink than party town, but The George is enjoying its best incarnation in about four years, Hoopers on Ivanhoe is well worth a visit, three screens of sport and a fine range of beer as well as music comedy and stuff.

Football team is Dulwich Hamlet by sainburys, and for the rest of it head down the lane and try it out and you'll soon join in the vociferous arguments of Palmerston vs Franknlins, Surma vs Dulwich Tandoori, daffodil theft vs milk bottle theft etc etc

Thanks El Pibe

Ooh, ooh, ooh - don't forget to head down the hill in the other direction.

ED's excellent, but you will also find an excellent brunch (and sunday lunch) at the Crooked Well in Camberwell, where you can indulge in a fine cocktail too.

And other eats, all Camberwell: Silk Road (awesome hot Chinese, bench seating, deliciousness on a stick), FM Mangal (great Turkish grill), Angels and Gypsies (tapas, not cheap, but tastiest in the area)

And for a few drinks, you cannot beat the Hermit's Cave - one of my favourite pubs ever.

Definitely get Shaun in Barry Road Barbers to cut your hair

It's an institution of sorts

Put the world to rights, discuss who's who

And there's a free beer on the house should you fancy one
