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.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sue · Posted

      I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).

      Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft.
