ED has grown in confidence as a predominantly family orientated area. LL is therefore losing any attempt it had ten years or so ago to become another 'night out' destination. The likes of Adventure Bar and Drafthouse who would have shown an interest in those early days are no longer viable in this area as families take over from singletons. It's all about Peckham these days for that sort of thing. ED is about food, coffee and gift shops these days. A kind of Northcote Light. This is why the likes of Adventure bar do not work anymore, and Jack Wills, Space NK will follow on behind the cinema. Maybe Adventure bar would work better on Bellenden Road?

Louisa how DARE you? Bellenden Road is way too stylish to host the Adventure or anything of that ilk. No self respecting hipster Peckhamite ( not to mention middle aged blow-in like myself) would draw much pleasure there. Duncan's Croydon jab is cruel but accurate.

The first bit of your post (below), I think is broadly true. Although this could change with the new cinema coming. May be able to sustain a few more bars (or at least the ones already here). Adventure bar was always just bad though.

Much repeated by me but I never got East Dulwich as a destination for going out unless you lived here or very near (excluding the old Comedy Club). I lived in Camberwell for years and never came here in the evening except for a Sunday night curry or the Comedy Club - Inside 72 was good but worth travelling too? Camberwell and Brixton were far livelier and later and if Peckham was like it is now then I expect I'd have gone down there too.

      Fireworks

      It was indeed in the vicinity of DKH. I live on the ED estate and I could tell it must be close by because of the noise. When I left my house this morning I found the culprits litter still in the middle of the st. It looked like they had lit a whole box on fire in the middle of the road. My cat jumped out of her skin. I’ll try and report it on Southwark website same as I have had to with other illegal use this week. Any other ideas for what we can do with the photos? Maybe one of the Southwark councillors. It’s outrageous and dangerous behaviour.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      If you "cotton on" and read the council announcement, it clearly states "The library will be closed from 17 November until late June or early July 2026."  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/2025/dulwich-library-closing-refurbishment

      Goose Green Clinic, healing and energy work with Lisa

      By Emily1011 · Posted

      I’ve been seeing Lisa at goose green clinic for energy work for a year now.  Lisa is kind, caring and hugely supportive. She is wonderfully masterful and trained as a reiki master for 20 plus years. Alongside other energy work.  My time spent with her is like therapy. An emotional safe space for deep conversations and reflection followed by relaxing and energising healing work.  each experience I’ve had has been different, the end result remains the same. Feel lighter, almost euphoric and almost float home. Definitely an experience not to be missed.  https://www.goosegreenclinic.net/therapies/healing-energy-work/
