I've not aware of any gay unfriendliness to speak of but theni don't really know any gay people in E Dulwich myself. There were at least 2 gay couples down the palmerston on saturday and they seemed pretty comfortable.


There have been a couple of threads on this topic if you do a quick search. They might have better info than I'm qualified to give.


Oh, and welcome to the neighbourhood :)

It's more gay friendly than it used to be. Not that there was any overt homophobia, but certain pubs were rough-ish and would frighten many people, gay or straight. To be honest, there are many couples with kids - that is the main demographic. It ain't Old Compton Street, but then again, why would it be? Come and join us. It's fine. There's a nice vibe and you won't stick out like a certain over-played Little Britain character. Nero

Hi and welcome Newsummer


I'm gay and live with my boyfriend here. East Dulwich tends to attract arty/media types who are generally gay friendly but it has to be said, it's more a "young straight couple with kids" area. Which is fine by me as I wouldn't want to live in a gay ghetto - Soho and Vauxhall are but a bus ride away when you need them. Still, it does surprise me that there isn't a gay pub in the area. The Rye Bar and Grill on the corner of Peckham Rye is gay-owned and probably the closest thing we have to one. Great Thai food there and a friendly, mixed crowd. Inside 72 on Lordship lane is also quite mixed on occasions.


PS If you fancy a laugh head to Stonewall's in Lewisham... gay chavtastic.

Hi Newsummer,


I'm sure you'll find that life in East Dulwich is pretty harmonious for most people. I live here with my girlfriend and we are always impressed with how open everywhere is so I am sure that you will always find a venue on Lordship lane that suits your taste.


Just to let you knnow Black Cherry was rated one of the best drinking establishments in London recently by the lesbian magazine, Diva. (Don't think I've seen many lesbians in there, but my gaydar is wellreknowned for being a little dodgy!)


Welcome and enjoy!!!

Dear Newsummer,


A guy who used to be my neighbour (since, alas, moved out of London - work related) spent a couple of years strolling around ED eyeing all the talent and thinking it was some kind of gay mecca. His astounding positivity was charming to behold and pretty infectious though i had to caution him on occasion that the place was not exactly San Francisco and he ought not walk into the Plough holding hands with his boyfriend.


However, on the whole - as you can tell from this thread - the place is pretty tolerant.

      Damp cellar floor is it a problem

      By Bumpkin · Posted

      We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
