Hello I'm new here and I think that everyone shortening the Dulwich part to Dul is really unfair because it makes this lively and vibrant suburban village sound more like some terrible provincial town like Maidstone or Reading.


I've not had a lot of time to mooch about yet but the options on Lordship Lane seem fantastic for Christmas shopping. My family and friends are going to get some interesting and individual gifts this year - whether they like it or not!


One thing that bothered me, and I've seen it in many other places I've lived, is that the Lordship Lane info website says that the St Christophers hospice charity seems to have two shops within yards of eachother. Surely they'd be better to get rid of one the buildings and giving the money they've saved to the hospice itself. Charity is important and I do my bit but this annoys me a bit.


But if this is the only thing wrong with East Dul then that's fine with me!

Glad you're enjoying it so far, sadly there seem to have been a spate of burglaries, transport issues, bottles of pee and the loss of a much loved salad bar that are scaring away the kittens, but hopefully the people won't follow!


Probably best to ask one of the volunteers in the charity shop, i dunno lol

Howdy ya'll, I'm a yank from 'cross the pond, planning on visiting your fair (or should I say faire!)towne of London. I was wondering if there any recommendations of sights to see? I have heard many things about the House of Concrete that me and my partner Alan are very enthusastic about seeing. Any good pubbes that show American sports like basketball, college football and soccer? Thank you

    • Sadly, but not unreasonably, councils find it difficult to justify such expenditure on their current budgets. My family, which does like fireworks have been enjoying the displays by those still with disposable wealth by viewing them from Hilly Fields. Other hills (Dawson Heights) are available. For children who have autumn and winter birthdays, a firework display is some consolation for their birthday climate. My grandchildren, being summer babies, can enjoy garden parties and picnics. Without the need for explosions and dazzling display. 
    • Hey - I’ve got a spare adult ticket if you want it?
    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
    • Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487
