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.

      Stephen Viccary - Bathroom installation

      By Ergo_mark · Posted

      Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145

      Dulwich Eco Gardening - Professional Landscape Gardening / Design

      By AylwardS · Posted

      Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
