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?

    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered, 
    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
    • A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
