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?

    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
    • In good condition.  The seal should be intact.  Thanks
