I've just seen a rather cryptic press release announcing that a private members' club called Den Lodge is to be opened in East Dulwich. There's no other info on it, other than the contact details of Antic (www.antic-ltd.com), the company that owns the EDT and a clutch of other pubs.


Anyone heard anything about this? (Given the name, perhaps its target market will be the local population of foxes.)

Blimey, surely this isn't going to be the latest incarnation of upstairs @ edt, following the restaurant closing for the Summer?

Smooth lounge lizard that I am (as well as expert on all things fox)I went to the opening night of the Dex club in Brixton and well nice it is too. Can't find their web site but it's over the Kentucky, opposite the Ritzy and they own the pub next door to said kentucky. Theres a room on the first floor with bar and then above there are some bedrooms (all en suite) and a terrace with a hot tub, and all in the centre of brixton. Will it be similar here? Anyway if they want invite me to the opening night they'll have to get in touch with my agent.
I'm with Groucho Marks on Private Clubs.....I remember when the Funky Monkey in Camberwell got delusions of Granduer andtried something similar upstairs......EDis NOT Notting Hill or Hoxton FFS. Horrible, snotty, elitist, claptrap IMO. I had a phase of going to SohoHouse with a girl...a place stuffed with a load of wanabees with far too much coke....it nearly turned me back to socialism....
As someone on the other thread mentioned, it could well be more of a licensing ruse than some sort of elitist venue (not that I'd mind that you understand,as long as I was invited). A place I used to frequent regularly as a student in Leeds (RIP Hyde Park Social) was a "members club" but in reality this amounted to an annual sub of ?1 and a bit of yellow paper witha your name and number on it. Apparantly it allows for cheaper licenses and therefore cheaper drinks. Worked a treat for me.

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
