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..

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 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.

      The Mansion Tax

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
