Bars changes constantly. But having revisited most SE22 boozers of late, one thing I can see is that they are all quieter after about 9pm ish than they used to be.


On thursday night at 10 ishpm The Great Exhibition, Actress, and Bishop were all dead as a dodo when before they'd have a decent crowd eat that hour. I put that down to there being a much wider choice for late night stuff now in Peckham/Camberwell and an increasingly family demographic in ED. The one glorious exception was The Gowlett which was nicely buzzing to Lucky 7's and pizza.

Sorry, but The Gowlett is technically Peckham ;)

It changes - sometimes quite posh, sometimes a dating atmosphere - and

sometimes what my mother would have called a dockside working pub.


EDT depends on the football schedules - especially Arsenal :)


Was in the Montpelier this weekend - that's got a definite trendy

atmosphere on Saturdays.

But to briefly offtopicate, he has a point.


A postcode is just an arbitrary administrative, practical demarcation for a single institution, overlaid very roughly on existing towns, neighbourhoods.


I guess people get snotty about it because they enjoy or loathe the fact that these imaginary lines dictate the value of their homes/cost of their rent/self and satisfaction/inverse snobbery as to their location.


I don't think a bit of pedantry does any harm, it might even be a starting point to people taking a genuine interest in the long fascinating tale of this quarter of London, over and above a superficial appreciation of their locality based upon a tally of chains vs independents, the presence or not of a waitrose or indeed an arbitrary set of Letters and Numbers appended to ones street address.



Aaaaanyway, as you were.....

      Car crashed into lamp post opposite coop , I hope no one was hurt ?

      I will buy you a frothy coffee from anywhere you like on Lordship Lane if that happens. Most of these costs never get recovered from the drivers that caused them. The photo shows a car that's been left on the zigzags protecting the crossing. Pedestrians crossing East to West and drivers heading South won't see each other until the pedestrians are in the road. That is a dangerous position to leave a car in. (I don't know if it's stil there, obviously).

      Seems a pretty dangerous position to me - apart from getting in the way of pedestrians trying to cross the road large vehicles heading south have to edge into the oncoming traffic lane to get past. I've got a normal-sized car and had to squeeze through a gap the other day.

      When a car is left damaged by the road-side it may be that the insurer is tasked with recovering the vehicle to assess it and (possibly) take it for repair. Only if it is in a dangerous position will the police recover it - which saves money for the tax-payer.  You may also have some recovery options with e.g. the AA (other organisations are available). Were the car to have been stolen or abandoned then it will take some time to sort this out, and again unless the vehicle is in a dangerous position the police won't be rushing to deal with that. Not sure who the 'they' are in this case.

      I wouldn't like to speculate, Sue. Not my thing. Teddy Boy is your man on the ground for that sort of first-hand detail. It's six points for driving without insurance and six points for using a phone, so that's an automatic ban of at least six months. They're going to be practically uninsurable for a considerable period after that. So, nobody's hurt, a clearly crap driver is off the road for some time and the good burghers of SE22 get a lovely, shiny new post - probably paid for by the driver. Every cloud, and that. If only Franklins wasn't changing hands, Lordship Lane would be almost perfect.
