If you haven't been to the EDT since the refurb, to get upstairs you now come in through the main entrance, turn right and go through the door marked Lounge Bar.

Then go to the top of the stairs and turn right. We will be in the area past the top bar (which will be closed, so please  get a drink at  the bar downstairs before you come up!)

As said above, please message me in advance if you need help in getting up stairs, and we can arrange it.

Posted (edited)

This is TONIGHT!

From 7pm in the lovely new  lounge bar upstairs at the EDT/East Dulwich Tavern (the pub at the  end of Lordship Lane,  on the corner  by the roundabout at Goose Green).

Please buy a drink at the downstairs bar before you come upstairs, as the bar upstairs won't be open (purely so you won't have to come back down again once you've got upstairs. Well, not immediately, anyway!)

The entrance to the lounge bar is now through a door INSIDE the pub, on the right as you come in through the main doors.

Turn right at the top of the stairs. We will be in the area by the windows.

Please message me on here  in good time if you will need help getting up the stairs. I probably won't be checking my phone after 7pm so may not see messages after that, though I'm sure the friendly bar staff would help if needed.

Looking forward to meeting old and new faces.

(I am face blind, so please don't be offended if I ought to recognise you and don't. I often don't remember names either.

I'm just mentioning this as I know I can seem rude otherwise. It's an actual thing. I now have a little card to carry around 🤣 ).

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
