HOW DARE YOU!!! ;-) Seriously, I like it.... Actually quite like Heiniken these days too, since they got rid of that watery cr@p we used to have, and made it all 5% like it is in Europe.


Red Stripe is okay, never had it as a student, but would certainly have it over Carlsberg, Carling or forsters (watery, gassy rubbish that just gives me the hicups and makes me need the loo more often than I'd like!).

Morning All.


Went to the opening party of The Florence last night and I have got to say "What an amazing pub". You're gonna love it. So stylish but not TOO ponced up. Lots of outside drinking space. I loved it! Not open until Tuesday apparently but definately worth a trip up t road.:)-D

Good news Tillie - thanks for update


In a way I'm glad it's not open until next week - allows us to check out the jazz at the Forest Hill Tavern this weekend - but I will take a pootle over to Herne Hill next week


So - Castle & Bishop

Clarence & Florence

what next?

I also went to the opening party last night and i must admit it is a fab place. So well done and the open plan kitchen really adds to the place. I can see the Prince Regent quaking in their boots already! All in all well done guys! One suggestion Scott (if you havent thought of it already) how about laying grass in the area which was the car park?

have thought about grass. Have a look a the lawn at the herne, you will see why i will not be turfing...

Tillie, peroni is expensive because it is exactly the same product (brewed in italy)in a bottle as it is on draught. Everybody pays ?3 for a 330ml bottle. So for a pint (568ml) one should expect to pay ?5.16...............however no bottling needs to pay be paid for..... ?3.60 a pint is good value. It is a cracking lager with really nice glassware. Peroni themselves are recommending ?3.80. ?3.60 at the bishop, came on yesterday.


The florence opens midday on tuesday.....

We went to The Florence on Saturday evening (and bumped into a few forumites!) and I do quite like it. Though did think the bar service was a little slow. But a good alternative if you want a night out away from LL. Had meal in the 3 Monkeys afterwards which was delicious and well recommended.

I'll second that about the Florence. I've never been there before (when it was Ganleys) so I have nothing to compare it to but I thought it was great. Good selection of beers, ample space inside and outside and good service. Mrs Mark said the toilets were spot on which, petty as it seems to us men folk, is very important for the ladies so a big tick there. We also indulged in a burger from the menu (which is the same as the Bishop's), again no complaints.


So if it's a nice day and you fancy a drink, I'd recommend the 15/20 minute walk (or jumping on the dirty-seven bus) to go check out the Florence.

haha i thought it was just me who said "dirty-seven"!!!


also going back to a previous point, the CPT should have:


1. Rolls - just simple cheese and pickle rolls, for a quid

2. A Sunday night quick quiz a la The Canton Arms in Stockwell, where they hand out a list of questions at 7pm and you have until 9pm to hand them in, bottle of wine for the winner.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
    • It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
