New to East Dulwich

[Jeremy]

Where is the Lions Head?

[Otta]

I was wondering that too. Never heard of it.

[Mustard]

Bellenden Road, or Bellenden Village as some estate agents like to call it.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

There is a pub called The Lions Head on Bellenden Road? Who knew...

[Peckhamrye]

Lions Head? Have I missed something?

[Earl Aelfheah]

Eh? Is this a new pub?

[StraferJack]

I THINK Mustard was just adding Bellenden to the list of nice places near to ED - I don't think they were making reference to the "Lions Head" (whatever/wherever that is)

[spoiltdog]

Lions Head on the Lions Neck lol

[Jeremy]

I can only guess that Lions Head = Old Nuns Head...

Nice little round up there and thanks for the encouraging comments on the surrounding areas!

We'll be situated roughly between Goose Green and the Actress (pub). Nice and Central but far enough away from the action that we'll get some peace and quiet when at home.

Nice one. Am frae Dalkeith!

not checked out the Lion's Head yet but have been to some other styled pubs locally... the bottle shop (Boss Man) is amazing too.

Welcome to the area

[uncleglen]

They're all jumping ship before September!

Visited the Lions Head tonight. Bit too studenty, artsy, hipster like for me. Good selection of real ale though.

I meant go to this road, and check out the many shops and restaurants, like Melange, the wonderful chocolate shop, Lovely House, and the butchers, Flock and Herd, to name three.

The sutdents are mane-ly harmless...

Where is this Lion's Head?

[Otta]

I can find no mention of it.

Although apparently you can go on a nice golfing holiday to the Lion's Head in Cape Town. Who knew?

[StraferJack]

I think jeremy called it when he thought the OP was getting it mixed up with Nuns Head

[Louisa]

SJ well done, you're keeping the wolves at bay. Now let's stop talking about this little boozer before everyone clicks it's real and wants to go.

Louisa.

[StraferJack]

Cheers Lou - the memory of our afternoon in the booth together at the Lions Head will stay with me for ever. If everyone started going....

This line alone is enough to convince me that Jocky is genuine. Welcome Jocky.
