(This message will no longer be an announcement i.e. at the top of the listings, after lunchtime today (Monday))


I'm happy to announce a new area of the forum called The Lounge. After listening to what people have to say there's obviously a need for an area where people who use this forum can talk about things that aren't related to East Dulwich. A place to talk about music, meeting up, flirting, the benefits of Omega 3, the situation in Iran etc etc


You may hear me say every now and then "Take it to The Lounge" which is the polite way for me to say you're going off topic please go and take this elsewhere. I may also move or split some threads over to the Lounge as they will be more comfortable there.


I hope it works and thank you for using the Forum

Dear Administrator and Mr Keef,


Hurrah! At last, somewhere for 'the chattering classes' (my husband can be so nasty sometimes) - to chatter! Can I have the big aubergine coloured velvet armchair near the window? Mine is a big milkey latte and a large slice of blueberry cheesecake, .... oh rats, I have to work. Nevermind, I can chat later - that shall me my chair though, OK? I can't wait to hear all of Ms Polly Dorners news.........

How about a Garden Lounge area? Then those of us who like to scrabble around in the soil can have a great forum for flower talk........ (I can hear the collective groan of the under 30's.... or am I being appallingly ageist? )


Hurrah for ED and all our differing interests. Arcade fire and clematis armandii..beautiful combination. And it's sunny outside !!! I'm going off to commune with my crocuses (croci ? no )


skinny latte with almond croissant and a nice herbaceous border please.....

      Nursery Recommendations

      By turtle1409 · Posted

      We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!

      New Shops in East Dulwich and Nearby - 2025 Edition

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly.

      Noise from Wide Awake festival

      By Rockets · Posted

      Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉

      New Shops in East Dulwich and Nearby - 2025 Edition

      Chains moving in is a sure sign that LL is heading for a fall. They are parasites, waiting for the independents to be successful and then, in partnership with rapacious landlords, they move in and force out those very businesses who have created the market they then seek to exploit. They replace a lively diversity with a bland and predictable offering. Then, when a downturn arrives, they move out, leaving boarded up premises and charity shops. Independent businesses who have worked hard to make a success of their efforts will try to see out hard times as they’ve invested so much. Chains look only at the bottom line and think nothing of closing branches. Chains are liable also to expand too fast, be managed badly and then collapse. Think of Brick House being forced out by Gail’s, the closure of White Stuff (although that chain was replaced by another) and JoJo Maman Bebe. . Sadly, I fear that will be the future of LL.
