I don't know about the merits of which minutiae warrant discussion here or not, but wish there was such an active forum where I live. I looked for one after joining here and all I could find had about a year's worth of messages (can you recommend a good au pair, plumber, good school without a waiting list etc) on a whole page from people spread all across the area it was meant to be aimed for. Maybe people north of the river just don't want to talk to each other. I've lived here all my life and that's probably the case.

KD you're a very sweet chap. Your neighbours should work harder!


On the li'l ol' lady, please take my concern and consideration for here well being as given, but..


I feel that we should have a responsibility to our community that sits hand-in-hand with our ego. It's not responsible to create derelict high streets by restricting access to commercial property. It's turning into an ED habit, with the place adjacent to Blue mountain as a further example.


Planning permission should work both ways - we're not entitled to turn our front rooms into shops, and we shouldn't be allowed to turn shops into front rooms. It's f*cked up.


(Yes I know, broken record, I have posted on this before ;-))

I don't think she did this though? I think she just lives on the top 2 floors and chose not to re-let the ground floor commercial premises? The main thrust of your point still applies of course - although there are former commercial properties all over ED that have been converted to residentials. Sometimes there is just no longer any commercial demand.

Don't believe everything you read in the Southwark Press.

Morning, Glad she is ok. Lots of people have been after this property it seems. Unfortunately with the current climate and degree of damage this place will be worth less sorry to say. She could have made a fortune had she sold up a couple of years ago.

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
