I've met plenty of gay people in ED in my 8 years here, and several frequent this very forum


However, anytime I've seen a suggested gathering advised, response has usually been pretty poor (ie no bugger shows up)


A gay specific venue has also been mooted but I reckon it would be a non-stater commercially plus most of the bars in the area are diverse and tolerant


If I had to pick the most gay-friendly bar it would probably be the Rye hotel

I grew up off Goose Green but moved away and have been back a littl while, there was when I was younger a 'gay bar' on East Dulwich Grove. It was more of a wine bar really!! LOL

I did once meet a guy in the ED but it would be nice to have a place or a good night somewhere.

My friends and I all love straight pubs but Dulwich could do with at least a gay night.

An overlooked pun, or unfortunate choice of words?


Either way :)-D :))


I often see rather well dressed groups of gay blokes on a night out in ED, I suppose our gay community is so much a part of the fabric of ED maybe they haven't felt the need for a club/society thing? Would be nice to see something, perhaps offering advice or support or something I think. There's quite a few gay men on our street and its all the nicer for them!

Well if anyones does fancy trying to arrange a 'gathering' (and I suppose by posting this I could be putting my name in the frame), it would be good to meet with like-minded (how delicately phrased) folk! I'm sure that most of the pubs in ED would be happy to entertain us, but as I help out in a pub in Camberwell, I can at least guarantee us a warm welcome for our initial happening:) If anyone is interested, please feel free to drop me a line and let's see if we can put SE22 'in the pink'.
There are loads of gay events in Camberwell. Some of the regular ones are every Wednesday at The Cambria (alternating comedy and cabaret), naturist swimming for gay men every Friday, Club Wotever's queer night at the Sun and Doves every Saturday, Pink Screen Sundays free gay films at the Castle every Sunday at 5pm, and a gay book group on the third Tuesday of the month at 7:30, also at The Castle. The Gay Camberwell website lists details, including film listings.

See - this is what happens when I go below radar for months on end. I slumber back to my sett and all the gays come out of the woodwork. Well sorry for my hibernation folks (how many more puns can I get into one thread?).


MikeSE22 and I tried once in vain to organise gay drinks. There was me and him and 1 x lesbian and 1 x gay gent no gay frolics make. Sigh.


So I know about Strawbs' drinkathon at the Rye. Any other titillating social activities for the queers to do in/around the postcode?

Ah yes - the friend auditions. I am thinking of holding them again this Summer. I am not at all satisfied with all of my present posse. One person did in fact make the grade - very nice chap. Alas he is out-of-postcode AND not on the forum making him a most undesireable sort.


So what have I missed? Louisa being nice to people yet? any more gay-bashing?

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
