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.

    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.  
    • Some suggestions for mandatory action might include:- 1. Permit retailers to display facial images on the premises  of previous offenders at their local store. 2. Sound an alert and display images on screens inside the store when the FR flags up a person entering who is on the national database of shoplifters. 3. Physically bar recognised shoplifters from the premises. Should they attempt to force entry then charges should be pressed under aggravated trespass, which  a criminal offence under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. 4. Change the law to allow retailers to have enhanced powers of citizens arrest. What would you suggest? The UK seems to have the most lenient policy towards shoplifting , probably because of other demands on the police force. On the plus side, they may have more time for it now that non-crime hate incidents will no longer be investigated. Other countries, such as the USA have much more sever punishment as does Singapore where repeat offenders or aggravated cases can be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison, a fine, or both.
