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.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.

      @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
