It's better than it used to be! Believe it or not, they've actually improved the exterior. It used to have a hand written sign in the window saying it was an hotel, and I swear that the only thing holding the net curtains together was the dirt...


Never been inside, thankfully, but my husband and I did book there once when we were having works done on the flat, were staying with my father down near Swindon for the weekend, and the builders informed us that we would not be able to move back in on Sunday night as planned - so we had to just find anywhere to stay, using internet resources. The chap who answered the phone did sound quite surprised to be getting a booking. We took one look at it, got back on our mobiles and found somewhere else, albeit a couple of miles away.


A B&B is one thing this area seriously lacks (we also stayed at what is now The Actress, but I don't think they do rooms any more).

fine tapestries = cobwebs?, Farrow & Ball = dossers on dole?, gold-plated taps = what taps?

I had a friend who was in the building trade and many years ago he was asked by the owner to look the premises over to judge how good decor etc was. He reported back that the rooms were very small and they were hoping to get double beds into single rooms, some rooms were going to have 2 sets of bunk beds. Felt the whole place was poor. Who knows it may have changed. The owner is/was a local businessman who owned and rented out several houses in ED. Owner is now old and demented and I believe family members may have taken over business.
a few years back the 5 joined houses were on the market for ?1.5mill the lot - would be snapped up at that price now. Stays open because they satisfy council HMO regs and provide a service to the authorities looking for 'cheap' b&b , placements for asylum seekers and the like.

Have thought about booking my relatives in there on a few occasions and then decided against it as it just looks cr*p! Haven't ventured past the front door though so could (ahem) be pleasantly surprised.


Have used Victoria Inn (good but sometimes noisy), Actress (sadly not any more) Air BnB (disastrous as key left with us didn't work but that's just a sample of one) and Peckham Lodge (surprisingly good!)


Oh and Marmora Man's place - which was absolutely fab!


Would bite the arm off someone developing a decent BnB near here....let me know if anyone hears of one!

    • Not sure what the age range is but Woodcraft Folk meet at the East Dulwich Community Centre in Darrell Road on a Tuesday evening.
    • James  may have initiated the boards but there would have been a group of people who would have taken in turn to keep boards up to date. When locks and boards were vandalised  it took some while (around 2 years) for the council to repair/replace and many of the group who maintained them, moved/died. I know James was not seen so much in ED due to  family  illness/bereavement  and I believe he also changed his job.
