The Hotel at Spy Corner: online local history talk from the Dulwich Society, Tuesday 2 May, 8pm

Why were MI5, MI6, Special Branch, the CIA and the FBI so interested in a resident of a hotel which once stood on Dulwich Common in the aftermath of WW2? Along Dulwich Common and within a distance of no more than 100 metres, three different nests of spies existed in World War Two. Follow the incredible story of MI5’s tracking of spies, traitors, Nazis and secret agents in Dulwich during WW2 with local historian Brian Green in this illustrated online talk.

About the Speaker

Brian Green has written eight books about Dulwich’s local history and has contributed numerous articles for the Dulwich Society Journal which he edited for twenty years. He has a MA in London Studies and an MPhil for his thesis “Social change and social reform in Southwark & Bermondsey 1880 -1930”.

  I've found it quite a useful thread. Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them. https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders

  Personally can’t stand carpets however where I am renting has carpet in bedroom and hall. Not great quality and certainly not cleaned. Was in B & M recently and looking at carpet shampoo -wow got a can costing £2.99 to test.. No scrubbing as others seemed to imply. Spray, leave and poof - smells great, no dabbing or scrubbing and c leaving rubbish. First to admit is only temp solution but no need to hire carpet cleaner instantly or pay for a company to come and deal with professionally. For 3/6 months happy to have used this - Have a carpet cleaner and in a month or so plan to use it. Buy a steam cleaner for floors - not expensive - much better than mop and bucket and more hygienic all round. Can pick up second hand ones on e bay.

  Is this a true story? What protein powder causes kidney damage? Why didn't you cite an article? I shop at H&B, mostly to buy their castor oil, however, I would recommend researching any product beforehand. They do have very informative articles on their website. To be honest, I don't see the point of this post. You could have just taken the product back for a refund or complained in store and in writing.

  Well the Italian on Lordship Lane recommended here was delicious. Thank you so very much -my party were extremely pleased with ambience, location and lovely food plus puddings to die for. They are also on Deliveroo. Will certainly be back when I am back in 6 weeks time. Went past Love Dulwich at lunchtime on my way to Italian - only a party of 2 - food might be excellent but decided to give it a miss - wasn’t impressed with manager who admitted he had only been there 2 weeks. Might be being totally unfair but doubt it, as no comments since about a month ago from Pugwash.
