As an aside, I went out Tuesday night in Peckham and there were loads of people out and about. Walked back down Lordship Lane and the place was empty. It was like a ghost town. I wonder whether there is an element of 'cannibalisation' going on, with the rise of Peckham eating into ED's businesses?

Yes. also ED suffering from lack of change - same old same old (with the pubs at least).

Peckham: younger demographic, tend to go out more during the week, party hard, live for the moment

ED: older demographic, prefer to stay in with the kids, watch telly, go to bed

I think you're allowed to say it's a shit sign without being a 'moaner', especially if you're also one of the first people keen to go in and give it a try.


I suppose this new venture and it's specific location is either 'the end of the beginning' or 'the beginning of the the end'.. depending on which side you're on.

Ghost Town... ?

I was in The EDT on Tuesday... Arsenal were playing... It was 3 deep at the bar with all bars heaving..

No seats available.. It was like News Years Eve.


Still busy after football finished..


Foxy..

Really? Having never tried it it better be good at that price.

My first thought was "bunch of hipster wank - I won't go in". My second thought was "I shouldn't be so quick to judge and should go in".

It's an imported IPA... so under a fiver is fairly cheap.

I love getting a pound change when buying Heineken :)


Will try this weekend.

I went to the Unicorn last night about 9:00 and it was packed. I really liked it there - bar was busy but the staff were great at getting through the orders (amazing on the first night). Food was going down well from what I could see - but I didn't try. I think they have a "pop-up" in there until they get the kitchen running - like they did at the Hope. Young-ish crowd, mid to late-twenties for the most part but there were quite a few like me bringing up the median!


Its definitely a shabby-chic vibe - like most of the Antic pubs - but I really like that. Prices were average for the area - pint (the hepcat) and a decent glass of wine for ?9:25.

I went in Saturday late late - just before closing :)


I like the layout - went upstairs to have a look around too.

    • Sue My point being that if you experience something that could potentially be sorted by a GP, you might feel it necessary to go to A&E, which would be clogged up due to the doctors strike.  Just my opinion, but I don't really see that its necessary to close a surgery for half a day for staff training.  
    • A huge shout-out to Andy! He’s helped us several times now and is an absolute gem. He doesn't just do the easy jobs; he finds solutions to the difficult, non-obvious problems that others might miss. He is very hard working, incredibly friendly, great with pets, and always leaves the place better than he found it. 10/10! 
    • Here to add my voice to those praising Temi. She just painted my dilapidated home office in ED and did a fantastic job in just two days in a much lighter colour, including woodwork, damp blocker and filling holes. She's efficient, on time and I barely heard a peep out of her; she just got on with the job. I recommend her wholeheartedly. 
    • The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time
