I think you're right, bon3yard.

I recommend placing an advert in Guardian Soulmates, to read:


YOU: Orange lumberjack shirt, Thursday, The Bishop, urinating in doorway and throwing a bottle.

ME: Feral expression, bloodshot eyes.. I shouted "go ooon fackin' kill 'er"


Our eyes met for but a moment. Call me - let's get together.

maybe they could install a boxing ring out back, seeing as their plans for expansion/ world domination were thwarted by pen pushers at the council and local residents.


to be serious tho - there is a great deal of lairy shouty wankers & groups of binge drinking marlboro sucking harridans from "elsewhere" hanging around LL, esp. outside the Bishop & BC on warm evenings. You cant restrict "vibrancy" to card carrying local residents


Oddly enough, I have noticed a sharp rise in late night shouting/bawling & pavement pizzas over the weekend


of course , its all ? for the businesses and thats what really matters isnt it.


bed / lie in it

back street boozers Are a declining species unfortunatley.


the lager and white wine vendors on LL invariably live elsewhere and dont have to come face to face with the detritus that litters the street the morning after - still, as long as they are making money , then its OK


the LL pubs are more of a community disservice now.

True but to be honest the Bishop, EDT and Black Cherry have always been crap on a Friday or Saturday night so it doesn?t make a lot of difference to where those of us who live here go in the evening. It does add to the drunken debris we have to negotiate on Saturday mornings though.


It would be interesting to know if places like the CPT, Drum, Uplands are seeing an increase in business as LL gets busier on the weekends.

The CPT did indeed report a 10% rise in footfall on Saturday. But only because Keef went in twice, I'm told.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋

    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
