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

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say. 
    • I used to enjoy the 50p shop in Liverpool, it merged with it's sister pound shop in 1999 https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsliverpool/lost-liverpool-shop-never-charged-more-than-50p-for-anything/ar-AA1rB1Z6 According to BoE inflation calculator it would be the £1.60 shop if still around now, although based on the increase in a pint of beer more like the £4 shop, or the reliable mars bar inflation indicator about £3. That of course is the issue with the premise that everything will remain at a certain price.  There were three pound stores in Peckham, one had a strange strap line that many products were a pound or less, so many were over a quid (pre Covid days).
