Ok, so I started trying to read through the whole thread but my eyeballs hurt. I'm putting together a list of local celebs I want to target for some charidee work - I want locals that have a vested interest in the kids in the area. I use the term "area" loosely - obviously I don't think the well-nourished, long haired young offsprings of Dulwich and its environs need my help - thinking more in terms of our south london neighbours.


Anyway, I need people who might merit a photo in the press - from what I can see so far, I've got: Des'Ree, Timothy Spall, Jenny Eclair, Nesbitt, Jo Brand, Adrian Lester (do we think he local, or tourist)? anyone add any more?

I saw AndrewDBlack by Cafe Nero today and also Ant strolling past Camberwell Pizza Hut in a nonchalant manner with a very nice stripy jersey. I would said hello, but I was on a bus. Do they count?


Adrian Lester is local, I've seen him on the train. In this case we were both on the train. I would have said hello, but we have not been introduced.

I've been in East Dulwich for almost a month & not seen anyone famous but the minute my girlfriend arrives from Australia Sandi Toksvig (& female friend) walked right in her, almost knocking her over & apologised, of course Treena had NO idea who had almost knocked her flying but I was stood in OMG mode before explaining who Sandi is.

    • If a food outlet has a mouse problem then it's likely to stay there until the outlet runs out of food, unless it's adjacent to other food outlets. Why would the mice move? And mice can be dealt with. If you are prepared to pay for it. Which, with some proprieters, is a very big if. I have no evidence that the problem has reoccured in its new inception, although obviously good owners keep the focus on good hygiene. You win the battle but the war continues. 
    • I suspect if one place has a real mouse problem, most of the adjacent properties do too in my experience London generally, and East Dulwich for sure, has significant mouse issues so I always feel bad when a single place is called out 
    • Just as a little follow up: Grace Dent called this place opposite Brockwell Park one of her best restaurants of the year. Quite an achievement - and it looked pretty busy when I passed by last week. Well done to them! https://www.theguardian.com/food/2025/dec/28/many-over-hyped-london-restaurants-grace-dent-best-restaurants-of-2025-review
    • As a cafe, yes. And they kept all the chandeliers they hadn't sold as an antique shop still hanging up. They had a real mouse problem, quite well covered up, however.
