It should be called Dulwich Picture House - because most people in other areas know Dulwich and associate it with being a leafy beautiful location. The sooner the "East" is dropped from this area in every aspect the better. It confuses a lot of people anyway.

I'm sure I don't have to go down any particular 'route' as to why the 'east' was dropped from the leisure centre. However, if you look at the old signage below the roof I'm sure it says "Dulwich Public Baths"- so maybe it's just a reversion to the old days when East Dulwich as a new suburb didn't really have it's own identity as such and people from far and wide would have closer ties to just 'Dulwich'.


SJ it seems all this north east west south stuff confuses things. Anyhow, think what it would do for the property prices around here if we dropped the 'east' ;-)

lol Drop the 'East' from East Dulwich? Let's drop the 'Village' from Dulwich Village while we are at it. Do the folk of West Dulwich similarly confused by their area name?


There has been talk by some of Deptford's residents of getting Deptford made part of Greenwich. The driving force for this idea is that the private homes in the area are falsely under-valued. This wasn't a issue when these people were buying of course, just now that they are selling.

I've lived in and around Dulwich all my life. It's all Dulwich to me.


Dulwich Picture House is what it should be and I don't see why people have a problem with not having the East in the title. It just doesn't have the right ring about it. The local football team isn't called East Dulwich Hamlet is it. Get a grip people.

Exactly. If you live in East Dulwich. Deal with it. I have lived in East Dulwich, Peckham and Herne Hill, if anyone doesn't want to live in any of those areas under their current names they can always eff off to somewhere else. I suspect it is mostly interlopers that want to change things.

But Dulwich is a lot further south. Nearest station Sydenham Hill and just a little to the east of West Dulwich (as you'd expect). There's a Dulwich, a West Dulwich , a Dulwich Village - all to the south of here - and 'here' really should be West Nunhead or South Peckham.

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
