Which restaurants are you talking about? If you mean Angels & Gypsies and the Crooked Well - then these have been in Camberwell for some time and recommended on the forum.


I cant think of any others though.

Yes, as above, Silk Road, Wuli Wuli, FM Mangal, The Bear. The Camberwell Arms kicking off will add to the mix.

Nobody has mentioned the Vegetarian cafe in Felbrigg Rd. I'd rate that very highly and never a complaint.

Also the Thai Corner Cafe in Northcross Rd. Very nice food , freshly cooked and not too expensive for anyone

I also like the Turkish place on Lordship Lane, goose green end. I've had two or three really delicious meals there.

There are many good eateries in E Dulwich that I haven't mentioned , French and Indian, Fish and chips and other types too. You can get virtually anything you fancy in E Dulwich.

Always found the Palmerston good and consistently good, tried Franklins four times (not sure why) one good meal and three shockers. 1) Over cooked school dinner type slop 2) very good lunch 3) Burnt breakfast - shocking incompetence - how hard is it ? 4) Raw liver - not rare, not medium rare but raw, staff were shocked, chef reheated and plonked on plate. Won't ever be back, place just seems a bit complacent, living on past glories, and probably a bit overpriced for what it is

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
