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

      By kbabes · Posted

      It’s illegal to let off fireworks in a public place, there were kids in Peckham Rye Park wearing hoods & masks letting off fireworks around 5pm yesterday & generally acting menacing..  loads of people walking dogs at the time along with families & kids using the park!  I reported to the police but as usual nobody turned up! Suggest anyone who is fed up with this antisocial behaviour make sure it’s reported, the more reports the better, hopefully then something will be done.   At the moment they just know they can get away with it!

      Police appeal: Monday, 25 August – Assault between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs

      By beansprout · Posted

      As I age, I understand a lot more about community spirit and people’s fear in the current climate of going to the assistance of a person in need. Yes, this might in part be aged related but is also driven by not wishing or wanting to help but a combination of self preservation and yes, fear of what the attacker might do or even worse get stabbed or physically assaulted.  Whilst it would be great to have more police presence to reassure community and hopefully act as a deterrent to people whose aim is to rob people or home and attack people, due to the cutbacks and not sure about my next comment but lack of police officers in general and reduce number of recruits, let’s face it - we as a community should step up to protect our community and assist police. Years ago, I attended one of these evening meeting with the local police officers - turn out was less than a dozen local residents. Yes, was in the evening when a lot of families were dealing with homework, feeding, after school activities and obviously there are housebound people and older members of the community who understandably would not wish to come out. I believe that to address this, the church at the top of Barry Road near the library have over the last couple of years advertised  and organised day time meeting with two local police officers responsible for the area to address issues concerning the local community. What  happened in daylight might as mentioned above been in part caused by an individual with possible mental health problems - the point is we should all feel safe on our streets in London and without doubt if you read the news, seems like stabbing, assault is now just the norm - a reflection of modern day society in any large town in the UK. If memory serves me correctly, not related to assault but was not someone stabbed a couple of years ago near the junction with the organic shop? And I believe mentioned recently someone died in the local community from an assault. Would be good to have an update from the police or someone known to the individual attacked.  I was in East Dulwich just last week talking to a friend in Barry Road and was surprised to see two bobbies walking along the road in broad daylight so now having heard about the assault can only assume police presence has been increased.
