Hi there,


Just thought i would say hi to my fellow East Dulwichians (is that a thing?) as i have just moved to the area from Surbiton and was looking for some friendly advice!


I assume everyone here tends to socialise and mingle around the Lordship Lane area? If so, you'll probably get to know me sooner or later as ill be spending a lot of time in the pubs saying hello and making new friends (i was known as quite the socialite in Surbiton).


Which pubs are hot and which ones not(so much)? I only moved to the araa this week and so far have only been to the pub on the corner by the zebra crossings, not sure what it was called but there were lots of young people in there making too much noise, and manual labour types staring forlornly into their pints- bad vibes!


Which pub is best for a debonair family man who can sup on a few expensive whisky's with locals whilst exchanging the latest news? And which one can i bring the wife and kids to on a Sunday for a luxury, slap up roast?


Im aware i could just google all this, but i would far rather hear it from a locals perspective. Any advice greatly received- thanks!

Sadly you have to go outside SE22 for great pubs - the Ivy in Nunhead, not too far away, which was saved by the community a few years ago and is not too far a walk, and a little further the Blythe Hill Tavern, Catford side of Forest Hill, on the South Circ. A nice walk via One Tree Hill and Blythe Hill. SE22 pubs are a little generic but I expect others here will disagree.

;-) Although the tone of the OP is so similar to some other posters who've passed through here, that I'm sure he'll fit right in.

oh right ok, thanks. Is Nunhead a safe enough area to visit and socialise in? I have been advised by friends at my golf club that while East Dulwich is nice, the surrounding areas are non too desirable, particularly Peckham! Im only really interested in upmarket places where mature conversation can flow.


I had a jolly good pint of IPA yesterday at another pub on the corner called 'The Palmerston', it felt like it might be up my alley, but there was a real lack of socialising going on beyond individual tables- one of the unfortunate side effects of so called 'covid', i suppose.

Same. Other than when the posts veer into the offensive, the worst part about them is how low effort the various characters are.


I'd respect the craft if there was some proper character building stuff, rather than launching straight into lazy, stereotypical/extreme opinions.


That said, Steven here is just getting started - welcome Steven, don't cause any trouble and you could give some light relief.

Sorry, is this some kind of in joke im not privvy to?

This is one peculiar forum- i dont know what half of you are on about! Still, it is still much more exciting than the Surbiton forum which died out due to continued boring posts from folk, mostly about Pilates etc.


Anyhow- who's going out tonight down Lordship Lane? The last evening before yet more restrictions kick in. If you are, keep an eye out for me- ill be wearing a smart suit and will happily buy you a pint to say hello to the neighbourhood.

    • At present several large retailers such as Co-op, Tesco, Waitrose, John Lewis, and Next use a cloud-based facial recognition system that gives instant alerts to the entry on the premises of known shoplifters.  Around £19 million incidents of retail theft (some with attacks on staff) occur ever year in the UK amounting in value to £2.6 Billion in value, involving 41,000 known offenders. Shoplifting adds to the retailer's costs and this is passed on eventually to honest shoppers, isn't there a case for F.R. to become mandatory at all retailers?
    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks
