I reckon if Youngs took the site on and had the team behind Dulwich Wood House going in to sort it out as some sort of 'sister' pub/dining experience, they could promote walks through the woods connecting the two establishments I can't think of anything better than a nice summers day walk between the two places for a beer or even in winter a nice open log fire in both. Foresight is needed with this one. Come on Dulwich Estate put those thinking caps on please.

I actually emailed Youngs a year ago after being so impressed by a stay in one of their hotels in Claygate.

I suggested the Harverster as a location, but didn't hear anything back from them.

I think a hotel in the area would be great. There are so many wedding venues around here that it would make sense to have somewhere nearby for guests to stay.

Used to do that many moons ago.

Sounds like a great idea.

Spot on. What were once two great pubs have been completely ruined so much so they no longer resemble pubs. The Clock House has had the most horrific makeover that makes it look like some awful ersatz pizza chain restaurant whilst The Dulwich Woodhouse resembles a Berni Inn from the 70s.

As someone who owns a property on Dulwich Estate land, which means having to deal with them on a fairly regular basis, all i can say is that this: "Foresight is needed with this one. Come on Dulwich Estate put those thinking caps on please" is a wildly optimistic request.

Glacial is the word i would use with regard to the pace at which things happen with them.

Glacial.

And stifling.

ETA: But if the cows were on the roof, as I suggested, at least they couldn't blow the roof off :))

Last time I went to the Wood House I nearly lost the will to live. Shame, given it's so near the woods and would be a nice place to go after a walk.


Quite like the new Clock House decor, and it seems to me a vast improvement on how it was before, especially at the back, but I would not eat there again unless I was desperate.


And I don't think I could ever be that desperate .....

I presume it has listed status?

Am I right in thinking that Robert Browning went to school here? obviously not when it was a pub!

Would love to see it come back to life as a pub/ restaurant again. Have many happy memories of it as the Grove.

Then it got ruined, much as the Woodhouse did.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
