Redemption roasters looked nice inside today and was doing good trade but my take away was they weren?t quite ready to be open and had a lot of teething issues so might sort themselves out in a couple of weeks.


The cheese shop next to au ciel is really coming on in terms of fit out so hopefully open soon.


Also looking forward to Megan?s opening and heard something about a wine bar next door to it too. So much opening in Dulwich Village!

I'm not enthusiastic about chain bars (esp ones with "bottomless brunch" 🤮) but...it's a fair distance from Lordship Lane. I'd see it as competition more for the nine other coffee shops in the Village and esp the Crown and Greyhound, which continues to have rubbish service.


Chains haven't always had a good time in Dulwich - Cafe Rouge just died in West Dulwich, and the site of the Real Greek has had a stream of franchise failures. Even the Real Greek seemed a bit quiet for the first couple of years (not helped by prices) - but with good outdoor space, a lick of paint, and really charming staff, they seem to be doing well now.

Had an incredible dinner at newish restaurant Omni (near the bottom of Rye Lane). All vegan (which I am not) - incredible flavours, some quite unusual - the corn ribs with cashew cream for example were amazing. Has good sandwiches at lunchtime too.

Their sandwiches are great. Didn't realise they did dinner - will check it out.

This is West Dulwich, but I don't care, I'm a born anarchist: old Cafe Rouge site on Park Hall Rd is being renovated as Walter's, described as a "Neighbourhood restaurant from the team behind The Oystermen", which in turn looks like a Covent Garden seafood bar. That's encouraging that it's not just another coffee shop, so fingers crossed.

Which end of Rye Lane is the bottom end? The end nearest to East Dulwich with Mr Bao (?) etc?

Were they?

Did they breathe the smoke of 10 thousand coal fires?

Did they smoke?

Did they have access to clean water?

Did they have access to healthcare ?

Did they have anti-biotics, vaccines and other modern 'miracles'

Did they have sedentary lives?


I agree with many of the things TaraFitness is saying. Just bear in mind that there are many positives and negatives about modern life. The quality and quantity and variety of the food we eat is almost entirely under our control and much of that will have a bearing on our health.

Good to get a seafood restaurant opening up rather than another pizza or coffee place.

"Small" St Christopher's has now reopened as a dedicated kids shop. Looks good.


Meanwhile, booze licence application has gone in for the old bookie opposite M&S on Lordship Lane for...Megan's Deli, another casual dining place (and sister to the one in Dulwich Village). Thank God for that - if there's one thing that East Dulwich is calling out for it's another twee coffee shop.

On the upside the new SDM hardware shop seems quite clean, organised and well-stocked.

It now has benches outside and a modest selection of pastries.

I?ve been looking all over ED for somewhere that sells coffee. Glad they?ve spotted the gap in the market. Now if someone could just think to start selling pizzas, they?d really be on to something

I recognise the satire, of course, but it is interesting that Covid-19 and changed working habits may have altered the commercial landscape - more people, including now those working from home, are looking to get out for a cup of coffee and a bite - and into places that are not too crowded or airless - so a commercially sustainable increase in coffee shops is maybe not that surprising. How long the opportunity continues will be interesting.

I hear you... but I would take that over the Bookie's everyday of the week

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Sue · Posted

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't be just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      By malumbu · Posted

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
