I'm not a huge fan of the current incarnation of the Mag... but it does seem strange that you say you'd like it to be similar to the Palmerston or Franklins, when those two places are just a couple of minutes walk down the road. I'd rather have a place which offered something a bit different.

Exactly what Jeremy said!!!


Whether or not we all want the same things, it takes 10 minutes to walk from the mag to goose green, and in that space, you have 2 cocktail bars, with a third to open soon, 2 posh foody type pubs, 2 busy pubs (Bish & EDT), so whynot something slightly different.

Again, I'm with Jeremy and Keef, although I must admit I didn't go in there before the yello incarnation. I've mainly been there for the Sunday evening quizzes, which were always for me the most enjoyable (although the most rowdy) quizzes in the area.


Maybe a re-fit might be a good time to fit some decent sound-absorbing stuff and try and make it a bit quieter for the residents without removing the personality of the place. Maybe.

Mmmmm, surely the owners of Le Chandelier would be better off sorting out their current venture before launching into something new? (judging by many comments read on here and my own less-than-fantastic experience.)


I dread to think what the offering will be - for girly I'm afraid I read snotty.


This comment is no reflection on Grace and Favour. But surely somewhere that large really needs solid experience and a strong track record to succeed... particularly in the current climate?

      GALA 2026

      By first mate · Posted

      I just checked the Southwark Council website and it stated:   All responses to the consultation will be recorded and a ‘consultation findings’ report will be published once feedback has been reviewed. The review process involves collating feedback from a number of council teams and external agencies - the aim will be to publish the report as soon as possible after the consultation has closed and no later than the 31 January 2026. The report will be published on this site. The use of bold type on the date is the Council's, not mine. They are late. I wonder why?

      Electrician recommendation: Electrical Initiative Ltd

      I would also like to recommend Leon, who completed an EICR inspection for us. He kept us informed of his arrival time on the day and arrived promptly as promised. He was knowledgeable and clear about what work was required. I would happily recommend him and would not hesitate to use his services again.

      It's not far from Lordship Lane if you cut down Ashbourne Grove/Melbourne Grove. Depends where you start from, I guess!

      Tessa Jowell centre car park.

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      I doubt if it was something special - it has been full a few times I've been recently and when I have been able to get a space I've been lucky and bagged the only one available. I think there are only around 15 general spaces. Others are for staff, blue badge holders or EVs. I guess in winter people are more likely to drive, it wouldn't take much to fill all the spaces with the different things going on at the surgery/pharmacy such as blood tests, picking up prescriptions. It's possible a lot of the cars are in and out in 15 mins, i've not monitored it closely. This morning with all spaces filled when I arrived there were a couple of cars loitering in the hope of a space becoming available. I didn't want to risk it. As has been said, you can drive in and out and be caught on camera and not get a ticket but I'm not sure what the grace period is, if there is one.  Like you, I don't think a significant number of people are parking there to go shopping - it's too far from Lordship Lane as I found out this morning when i had to run from LL to Tessa Jowell! i guess the car parking spaces just can't cope with the number of legit drivers using Tessa Jowell and if that's the case not a lot can be done about it.
