Hi everyone.


I'm new to this forum, this is my first post.


Would someone be kind enough to tell me if they know of any good ways to meet people in or around East Dulwich? I'm new around here. I recently moved to Nunhead from a small town in Surrey and I don't know anyone.


Thanks for reading :)

Hello jacquiba!


This forum is a great place to meet local people; there are regular drinks where everyone is welcome no matter how long they've been in ED/on the forum. There have been new people at every one I've been to, so don't feel that you'd be the only one who didn't know all the others.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

You have landed in a good place to start... I've met lots of lovely people through this very site. There are book clubs, badminton clubs, curry clubs... and indeed lots of drinking clubs that stem from here. The forum drinks is the best place to start - held the first Friday of every Month. The next one is at Black Cherry on Lordship Lane. We're a friendly bunch and everyone always makes an effort to make new people feel welcome.

Good luck.

The forum drinks are always a good start. Anywhere from 30 - 50 people from the forum meet up, generally the first Friday of the month. Also keep an eye on the "What's On" and activities mentioned in the Lounge such as the Curry Club.


Welcome to ED. The forum is great way to meet people.

East Dulwich Forum drinks

Women's Institute (if you are female)

Join a sports team (if you're sporty)

Choir (if that's your bag)

Church (if you're religious)

Join the Facebook group for singles in ED (if you are single)

East Dulwich Forum Curry Club (if you like curry)

East Dulwich Forum Running group (if you like running)


erm... can't think of anything else right now.

Definitely have to agree re landing in the right place.. I have met lots of people through this forum and I love the community feel its gives me.. One of the best things we ever did was move to ED and join the forum!!


Definitely come to the drinks, it can be a little daunting not knowing anyone but we will all talk to you no probs!


Alt if you wanted something a little more low key to break you in to it you could come to the curry club tonight..


See you there..

Hi, what's the Facebook group for singles' exact name? I can't find it just putting in East Dulwich and I'd like to join?


Thanks.

Just searched for it... it's the "East Dulwichian Social Group". Quite an old post though, not sure if it's still active!

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
