It is god awful. All British Rail buffet paninis and provincial museum sarnies. With sweet chilli drizzle.

The sooner it goes bust and becomes a decent outlet (beautiful site) the better.

Lot's of French people in ED, and Huguenots were amongst the earliest residents in the surrounding areas. Champion Hill and De Crespigny Park for example are the name of the estate that formerly stood there, owned by a Huguenot refugee of the family of Crespigny. His descendant Claude Champion de Crespigny entertained the Prince Regent there in 1804 and was made a baronet the following year. There are many roads locally whose names tell of a strong French invasion to 'these ere parts' going back centuries!
I love all things French, especially the food and wine, ok maybe just the food and wine, but just not sure of the reason for French businesses setting up here, there seem to be a disproportionate amount currently opening in ED or maybe it is happening across London? Its all good though.

    • Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment rates going in the right direction at the END. 
    • Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse. 
    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.
