I was told by a neighbour (who gets quite involved in planning stuff in our area, so is reasonably well informed) that both Tesco and McDonalds had expressed interest in the site for a Metro and a drive-through respectively, but that these were "unlikely to happen".


I guess I'm not surprised by that if what Lousia says is right and the Dulwich Estate is the owner (which I hadn't heard before). Shame it can't go back to the Grove or a Harvester or similar as it is right on our doorstep.

I reckon market forces in the area mean Southwark Council may persuade the Dulwich Estate to allow Tesco or whomever to build a drive through / park local store there. Or, of course, it could be a Wetherspoons....! But I heard a rumour of an M&S ... (Sorry couldn't resist)

Wetherspoons would be the perfect choice especially with the large garden & situated on the main road.


I know that a lot of ED residents will disagree, but wouldn't that be better than replacing a soon to be non-existent establishment ( the local pub) with a block of flats?

That would be good. Maybe not too posh though, eh. I remember when it was an excellent pub and they had a very good restaurant out the back and quite a posh bar as well. So much so that you had to wear a tie in there. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor used to eat in there in the 60s. It has a huge space for the garden where there is another bar and excellent parking facilities. I'd quite like to see it run on similar lines to The Great Exhibition. Makes perfect sense to me. And I only live around the corner so would be very good to have somewhere nearby to for a few ales and maybe a bit of nosh.

I agree Jah. Something like Harts Boatyard in Kingston/Surbiton? A traditional theme with a modern twist, harking back to the days of Liz Taylor and Richard Burton. The Grove Tavern really was a great pub in its day before the Harvester chain took it on. It always reminded me in summer of being out in the countryside, and yet still inner London. It's something Dulwich does so well thanks in part to the Dulwich Estate being able to control development which keeps a semi-rural feel. It would be a shame to lose that- we need to treasure places like this and bring them back to their former glory. This was originally a coaching inn going to London from rural Surrey.


Louisa.

      Fireworks

      By SophieA · Posted

      It was indeed in the vicinity of DKH. I live on the ED estate and I could tell it must be close by because of the noise. When I left my house this morning I found the culprits litter still in the middle of the st. It looked like they had lit a whole box on fire in the middle of the road. My cat jumped out of her skin. I’ll try and report it on Southwark website same as I have had to with other illegal use this week. Any other ideas for what we can do with the photos? Maybe one of the Southwark councillors. It’s outrageous and dangerous behaviour.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      If you "cotton on" and read the council announcement, it clearly states "The library will be closed from 17 November until late June or early July 2026."  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/2025/dulwich-library-closing-refurbishment

      Goose Green Clinic, healing and energy work with Lisa

      By Emily1011 · Posted

      I’ve been seeing Lisa at goose green clinic for energy work for a year now.  Lisa is kind, caring and hugely supportive. She is wonderfully masterful and trained as a reiki master for 20 plus years. Alongside other energy work.  My time spent with her is like therapy. An emotional safe space for deep conversations and reflection followed by relaxing and energising healing work.  each experience I’ve had has been different, the end result remains the same. Feel lighter, almost euphoric and almost float home. Definitely an experience not to be missed.  https://www.goosegreenclinic.net/therapies/healing-energy-work/
