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 was woken around midnight the other night as a Lime man tried to untangle a heap of three bikes someone had piled on my driveway. They block the pavements and people knock them over in frustration. I wrote to Lime and told them that in future any bikes left near my property would be securely stored away for collection at a mutually convenient time for both parties. I confiscated one at the weekend but a man knocked on our door looking to rent it while I was at work and my son gave it to him! I told Lime it's not fair of them to push the problem on to the local collection depots, they create the problem by allowing users to dump the things wherever they like. If they were penalized for doing so that would put an end to it.
    • The SDCAS Crowdfund campaign is now live: Help Save Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers! "I’m proud to be an advice volunteer at Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS), a community that welcomes and supports refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers in Southwark. Right now, we’re facing the toughest moment in our nearly 30-year history.

That’s why I’m asking you to support our emergency Crowdfunder: 👉https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-sdcas  Even a small donation, or sharing this with your friends and family, will make a huge difference in helping us to reach our £70,000 goal and keep SDCAS open. This place means so much to me, and to everyone who walks through our doors 💛.Thank you for your support in spreading the word.  ... Be sure to tag us @SouthwarkAsylum on Facebook and @sdcascommunity on Instagram We really value your support, £70K is an ambitious goal but we know our dedicated supporters can get us over the line!

    • The address is: Bradbury Oak House, 4 Underhill Road, SE22 0AH
    • "2.2.1 The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has undertaken a comprehensive consultation process with its residents and stakeholders regarding the proposed development which aims to create 41 additional units and has been designed to address the growing demand for accessible and supportive accommodation for individuals with visual impairments. 2.2.2 The consultation process has been a key part of the planning phase, ensuring that the needs and preferences of current residents are taken into account. RNIB has held several meetings, workshops, and surveys to gather feedback on the design, facilities, and overall impact of the new development. Residents have been encouraged to share their views on various aspects, including accessibility features, communal spaces, and the integration of the new blocks with the existing infrastructure which has directly informed the proposals. 2.2.3 The Applicant also engaged with the local MP, Helen Hayes, and a couple of local councillors at the behest of RNIB tenants to provide new homes to promote independent living for its Blind and Partially Sighted residents"     Seems like a very sensible and necessary proposal to me.
