I think that's highly unlikely.


Very sorry to hear about the theft, I really liked the picture :(

It is definitely not an inside job, I know.

If you remember what the painting looked like recently, the stik people had wobbly legs. Not Stik's style at all. In May that piece was tagged and as Stik was too busy to come and mend it, and not wanting the tag to be there where it might attract more tags, I touched it up myself. Really badly. So the bottom half is by a middle aged woman who has never held a spray can before in her life! Shades of that old woman in N. Italy touching up a 15th century fresco thought to be by Leonardo! Poor thief!

No, neither the artist nor the building owners get paid, all this is free public spirited stuff. The wall owners often pay the artists' expenses - paint, hire of scaffolding etc. 3 pubs gave them food while they were painting. The pubs, cafes etc have noticed a lot of increased business as people come from all over the place to see the murals and buy in Dulwich. Its win win. (unless you dont like the murals).


And no, you dont need permission for wall paintings, but you do for the mushrooms (on top of Mrs Robinson and Franklins Farm Shop). Im struggling with the council now to get retrospective planning permission, as I hadn't realised you needed it and they are threatening to take them down.

How sad that it's been taken. I love the murals, although they're not all to my taste, I like the colour they add to the area. The fact that the tours bring lots of people to the area is a real bonus for local businesses.


Ingrid - I've noticed the mushrooms but didn't know what the story behind them was - can you help?

Thanks. Why do you need planning permission for those particular ones?


Have you seen Colin Harrington's mural?

I'm really sad this Stik has been taken. I really love the local street art.


Hopefully with Ingrid's "touch up" it won't go far.


easytiger - you'd need planning permission for the mushrooms as they are an external addition / fixture. They presumably don't fall within the 'permitted development' rights.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
