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.

      By NewWave · Posted

      I wanted to just add that my experience has shown me that fitness classes aimed at an older demographic are often nowhere near as good or as much fun as those aiming at all and sundry.. most classes I've been to NOT aiming at 'Middle aged' people have had such a mixed bag and everyone does what they can at their own pace and this is encouraged. Do give it a go.

      Greens have some mad polices and I am still trying to work out if it is true that the leader of the party thought he could hypnotize women to have larger breasts 🤷‍♂️ country is in a real state at the min and all party’s have a part to play in that. what the future holds who knows but it is worrying.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Suggsy · Posted

      A stellar win for the Greens in Gorton and Denton, no doubt. But by-elections are funny beasts. Labour's strength traditionally has been in its ground game. Legions of canvassers over many years in many seats usually means that they are best placed to 'get out the vote' on election day. I can't quite believe that the Greens have enough data, or people, to wrest control of the council from Labour.
