Difficult to judge without knowing what it is you like CA - where are you moving from and what was good there?


It's possible to have a quiet drink and bite to eat or to have a raucous night out around the area - but not really possible to have a dance stangely enough


Opinion is varied about the merits of the many restaurants and bars so best bet is to have a mooch around the threads here (or even search for specific bar names in the search bar above)


I will say that it's an area I've live in for 8 years and intend to stay for many more - welcome.

Thanks for that!


I'm moving from Portsmouth, though originally from oxford, and my housemate from essex so nightlife is pretty varied in all three places. We are mainly wondering what the pub scene is like and what are the best ones to try out?!


We have been to the area to look a number of times and seen that there are a number of eating places so looking forwards to trying some of those out!


Also does anyone knows if the night bus stops near the roundabout at the bottom of lordship lane? and is it an ok route back to ED?


Sorry lots of questions!

xxxxxxx


Now I'm confused and I've lived here for zillions of years!


Does the 12 nightbus have a different route to the 12 daybus? Or has my sense of distance gone the same way as my eyesight with age?


:)

Stay in Pompey! You'll get shot round here, fireworks shoved through your letter box, random people knocking on your door asking for money to visit ill relatives, harrassed by the young gang members coming out of the new YOT office, harangued by the number of bugaboos, have to put up with screaming children in every single bar - day and night, swamped by SNUB bags wherever you look, get roped into repainting a god awful bloody mural and your cat is bound to get lost!

ED can't be that bad surely?!

where abouts in Pompey?

Night buses (think they run every 30 mins)


Number 12: It stops more like 10 minutes walk from Goose Green at Peckham Common. Then it cuts through the back of East Dulwich via Barry Road southbound.


Number 37: There is also the 37 between East and West - Putney to Peckham via Brixton and Herne Hill.


Number 176: Travels directly into ED down Lordship Lane from Trafalgar Square in about 30 minutes, and is always busy.

Just another nightbus to throw in the mixer - the 63 from Kings Cross/Farringdon stops in the same place as the 12 (ED Rd/Peckham Rye Junction). My saviour time and again, even if the nightbus drivers do pick up psychotic tendencies after midnight (it makes for a quicker journey and is much cheaper than the taxi option).


On the pub front, I'd recommend nobody passing comment and allowing you to pick up the delightful experiences of one and all as you go. Let us know how many you make in one single night!

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
