There was some previous discussion on and interest in this out-of-print book (by John Beasley) here in the past (I can't make search work, so can't cross-link to the appropriate thread/s)!


John tells me that the book (a slightly new edition) is now available again from Chener Books (14 Lordship Lane) at the bargain price of ?3.50 (it was more expensive when it was previously available)!


In celebration of their 30th anniversary, the shop arranged to have the book reprinted. It should be available until the end of the year.

This here SE22 magazine, what's that about? etc etc


Moving on from that it's the first I've heard of such a magazine. Where does one get that from?

I think you have to live in SE22! I live in SE15 and get one called - wait for it - SE15. It's a bit rubbish (full of ads and mostly useless articles) but it to has similar excerpts about the origin of street names in SE15 - also by John!

I don't know about anyone else but I'll be barging all and sundry (especially the bloody sundry) out of my way tomorrow to get to Chener Books for this. I'll hurl the money at the book wizard of Cheners and probably leave a tip, what's more.

Can't blooming wait. Well done Cheners, well done John Beasley.

In the words of young Mr Grace, "You've all done very well"

    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
    • Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
