After 6 months of living in the area I finally made it to the Dulwich Picture Gallery! Such a wonderful day and the neighbourhood looked wonderful. Really recommend the exhibition and urge locals to check out the gallery if you've yet to make the trip. The ?11 exhibition ticket pays for entry to the rest of the gallery too. It's around until 11th May so plenty of time to check it out. Also, was really impressed by the friendly and knowledgeable staff.

If you become a Friend of the Picture Gallery you get free entry to the Gallery and any exhibitions - a members' preview to exhibitions which includes (normally) an excellent introduction by the Museum Director, and a glass of wine! That's a deal well worth checking out, as you also can 'bring a friend' on your membership ticket.


And the current Hockney Print exhibition is very good.

The talks are also good - they run a film club there as well (although the Bigger Picture, monthly in the EDT is better - though this may be a biased comment) and they also host (from time to time) plays, concerts and even opera. It's a jewel in Dulwich's (Village, East and West) crown. And if you haven't, check out the Horniman as well. Both were up last year for Museum of the Year.

I just checked out the website and as I'm under 26 I could have become a friend for just ?18! Yep - seent he lectures the 'what is art' event coming up at the end of the month looks really interesting.


I have been meaning to check out the Horniman for a while!

Definitely worth being a member of FoDPG. Always have great exhibitions and it seems to be going from strength to strength. They could do with more younger members too! Here's some photo's from the Whistler and Hockney shows. http://flic.kr/s/aHsjUsjpXy

      Planning application - new Underhill Rd residential development

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      "2.2.1 The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has undertaken a comprehensive consultation process with its residents and stakeholders regarding the proposed development which aims to create 41 additional units and has been designed to address the growing demand for accessible and supportive accommodation for individuals with visual impairments. 2.2.2 The consultation process has been a key part of the planning phase, ensuring that the needs and preferences of current residents are taken into account. RNIB has held several meetings, workshops, and surveys to gather feedback on the design, facilities, and overall impact of the new development. Residents have been encouraged to share their views on various aspects, including accessibility features, communal spaces, and the integration of the new blocks with the existing infrastructure which has directly informed the proposals. 2.2.3 The Applicant also engaged with the local MP, Helen Hayes, and a couple of local councillors at the behest of RNIB tenants to provide new homes to promote independent living for its Blind and Partially Sighted residents"     Seems like a very sensible and necessary proposal to me.

      Is this the home for the blind and partially sighted at the south end of Underhill?

      Parking in Herne Hill

      Sorry, yes, you can park but it's unlikely you will find a space. I meant to say 'you can't park with any certainty' - and if you go past Stradella Road getting back to where you can park is a bit of a bind.

      Sound Lounge music venue windows smashed after altercation with those putting up flags.  Interesting comparison with another country in another time below https://insidecroydon.com/2025/09/08/suttons-sound-lounge-suffers-its-own-kind-of-kristallnacht/
