Burro e Salvia, the artisan fresh pasta shop of Shoreditch, is opening in East Dulwich in January. Fresh pasta will be made on the premises on a daily basis to buy and bring home, and a few seats will be available to dine in. And of course the fun pasta workshops will be organised as well on a monthly basis. A new neighbour to the much loved foodie corner with Moxon's, Franklin's, William Rose...www.burroesalvia.co.uk

What are you talking about... ?


I have praised many local businesses


Dulwich Tandoori


Jaflong


Hisar


EDT


Dulwich DIY


I even wrote that I thought the recent refurb of Manco Franca was the best refurb ever. even if I don't eat pizza.


I wrote good reports about Locale in when they were around.


Praised Icelands Too down market for many here.


Hirst's Bakery


I give credit to any place that gives me good service..


I had a shop in Uplands road in 1993. I was one of the first people to have a shop here

when North Cross was virtually derelict.

Foxy, it's not that you're down on all businesses, but you definitely come across to me, from your comments, as someone who plainly preferred LL as it was 5, 10 or 15 years ago and would rather it went back to that. And your list of businesses above rather reinforces that to me.

LM I priase a lot of local businesses too in fact I even recall having to promote local indepedents on here some had not visited before in the area such as Ayres and Sopers. I am a regular at the Kebab and Wine and Iceland too. I'm all about retail diversity, what angers me is pretentious shops aimed at pretentious people who float into ED wanting the Chelsea lifestyle on a south of the river budget. How many estate agents/pizza/indian/Italian/gift shops does one area need?


Louisa.

LondonMix or anyone else here..


Take a stroll with me down Lordship lane any time of day and just see how many

people know me and even wave.


I'm well known to many local businesses and on friendly terms.


Siduhe..


Lordship lane and North Cross have developed over the 35 years I have been here in East Dulwich.

I used Curry Cabin back in 1972 when the guy still there was 16. When I lived in Peckham.


...and Golden Tandoori (N.C. Rd) back in the early eighties even before Faruk was there and there was

a Indian lady serving food. One of the very few Indian rests. open on a Sunday afternoon.


The Turkish deli was once Greek and owned by a friend of mine's family.


I have seen many changes and probably know LL as well as anyone else here.


So I have continued to adopt to change over the years...


..But I agree with Louisa in what she said above..

edcam, the jist seems to be.... curry is good and helps you live longer. Having 8 curry houses on the lane is great and they last without doing much visible business because they are busy all the time. Italian food on the other hand is bad and we have too many Italian eateries. Cafes / coffee shops generally are also bad - why bother when you can do it at home?

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
    • Hi. Does anyone know of a silver making jewellery workshop. I am trying to find something nice for my daughter’s 18th birthday.l for her and some friends but everything I find online is too pricey or can’t accommodate 10 girls. Thanks
