East Dulwich, aka Royston Vasey. I agree that ED is becoming too posh. Not only that but there are NEW SHOPS opening up!!! And STRANGERS coming into the area!!! I think this is atrocious and that all NEW SHOPS!!! should be burnt down. All STRANGERS!!! should be arrested and sent back to where they come from. I suggest that we rewind time about ten years to when ED was a LOCAL community, full of LOCAL SHOPS for LOCAL PEOPLE. After all, progress may be a wonderful thing but frankly, we have had too much of it. Perhaps we could also arrange for all LOCAL SHOPS to revert to 1950's prices and start to charge in pounds, shillings and pence. Obviously, we would also have to revert to pounds and ounces. None of this nasty 'METRIC' measurements Johnny Foreigner has foisted upon us!

Yes DM. Keef's going to black himslef up and join the circus.


Surely ED is as middle class as ever, especially with Nutty's Lotus and Snorky's 911 doing the rounds. I own an old pair of trainers and some socks with holes in (never fear, am learning to darn as we speak).

Posh no. But over the last few years since a lot of new money has moved into the area one does get the feeling that the place is becoming a little gentrified. I'm not complaining though as all the bars, restaurants and shops have all improved beyond measure and there is more choice. Always a good thing that.

We moved here from Brondesbury a little while ago. Sold a small flat for a massive profit which enabled us to buy a semi down here in ED. Did'nt think East Dulwich was posh then but we do feel its turning into a bit of a clone town with a kind of bland homogonised character. To that end we miss the unique character of our former North London idyll...:-$

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
