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?

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
