The Cherry Tree

Recommended Posts

a bit of grovelling here


I am the originator of the story that the Capitol in Forest Hill would become a cinema. I have now been reliably informed that, despite much effort, Lewisham Council and English Heritage have imposed conditions making it impossible for a cinema to be viable.


Whether or not it will remain a Wetherspoons is unknown.


However I DO know that Tim Martin Wetherspoons Charirman and originator of the chain visited The Cherry Tree recently and they are interesed in making it a wetherspoons but there is competition from at least 2 other pub chains including Youngs. I would love it to be Wetherspoons. Nothing decided yet.

whatever the food at wetherspoons is, honest it ain't


a tenner for "peri peri chicken breast " I paid - what I got was reformed, gloopy reconstuted gloop (that was the chicken not the sauce!). And if the sauce was peri peri, then Tim Martin is a Europhile


Daylight robbery is the opposite of "honest"

    • Thanks very much for that.   I think the better informed we are, the better our discussions will be. The article contained: "That arrest had quite an impact on the [phone theft] numbers for the following month,” said Green.  Here's another indicator, admittedly a piece of police PR,  of how well-targeted police efforts, mostly invisible to us,  can when successful  seriously affect offending figures: https://news.met.police.uk/news/met-police-drive-down-theft-and-robbery-by-84-percent-in-battersea-and-nine-elms-500495.  
    • Another excellent article from Jim Waterson's London Centric reporting https://www.londoncentric.media/p/kitchen-foil-and-algerian-markets?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Interesting that there seem to be favoured and repeated routes for phone snatching for particular thieves.  Seems ED might be one of them ☹️
    • Anywhere near the Overground/Windrush due to its excellent transport links.  You will get larger place in SE23 for example that will give you enough spare cash for private school if that's what you really want but states schools generally good, reflecting the demographic  Easy to get to the bustling streets of East Dulwich but in ten years see what happens to Forest Hill centre.  The whole of the area is full of green spaces. Access to East Croydon for days out in the South Coast   
    • Could East Dulwich or Forest Hill work? Some properties on Underhill Road and Wood Vale have large gardens e.g.  https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/161079866#/?channel=RES_BUY  You'd be close to the Horniman, Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye. Transport might not be what you're looking for though e.g. a 15 minute walk to Forest Hill station for the East London line or mainline into London Bridge.
