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.

    • Given her role, she pretty much had to go. I don't think she is an avid tax-schemer who deliberately set out to avoid tax - I do pretty much believe her story of multiple high-profile roles and looking after a child with needs. But many regular voters juggle demanding jobs and families and are afforded no leeway by taxman, so she totally should have known better But here we are - she was found to be negligent and now she has suffered teh consequence. To me that its the OPPOSITE of all parties/politicians as generally the ignore the whole thing (today we have Tice saying Farage's tax affairs are of no interest to voters for example) And it would be poor form to not acknowledge why she was targeted quite so viciously - we even have posters on here here saying "when I saw her taping on a boat that was the  end for me" - like the end of what?. Her gender and class were clear motivators for many people. Two wrongs don't make a right - but it';s interesting to see some posters on here give so many others a blank cheque. Many are planning to vote for Farage despite his dishonesty being 100x worse than Rayner PS - I don't think she will join Corbyn party - unlike him she is smart and unlike him she recognises that being In power means you can at least stand a chance of delivering results This. The Greens will have a rise in the polls on back of new leader but that is one hell of a coalition of NIMBY/YIMBYs As what would Reform do if in government to help with... well, anything?   Labour can at least point to decreasing waiting lists, lower immigration numbers, not having a different PM every 6 months - not that anyone is listening
    • So what do people want?  More housing.  More affordable housing.  But not in my back yard. That applies to urban areas too.  Easy to criticise, but where are your answers?
    • this doesn't mean anything - it's a word salad with no reference to the topic at hand. And given the video I posted it's notable that you didn't reference it at all. The subject is the proliferation of weird intimidating Flag wavers....    As for me, I didn't vote Labour at last election, nor will I in next election (if I lived in a Labour/Tory/Reform marginal, that might be different)
    • Her legacy will be the Deputy leader/Housing Secretary who was the Labour party's sleaze crime fighter who broke the ministerial code for not paying enough stamp duty on one of her houses. As Housing Secretary she probably should have known better.    I wonder if she will defect to Corbyn where she will no doubt be welcomed with open arms and the words: "You did nothing wrong, it was all a media conspiracy comrade......"
