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?

    • I think the Brixton Pound lives on, so there must be some kind of appetite for it, but I'm afraid I doubt it would be very useful for me.
    • My primary issue is the noise level and the fact that it begins at dusk and continues well into the early hours, the odd random bang being possibly the worst aspect as you never know when the next volley will occur. This is no longer about celebrating a turning point as the clock strikes 12am, but more a lengthy indulgence in ear shattering bangs, where there also seems to be competition as to who can create the loudest most startling barrage of sustained noise. A new thing is daytime fireworks, where buyers are urged to forget the visual aspect and focus on getting the biggest bang for their buck. I am lucky as I am not super sensitive to noise but I really feel for those who are. As for pets, I am afraid there are now many that require serious medication to get them through- and those meds are not cheap. The fault here is not with the animals or people sensitive to extreme bangs, but with those who insist on their right to impose it on all around them, not just for half an hour a few times a year, but for hours on customary dates and now  spreading to random events throughout the year.I  New Year fireworks is a very recent construct, and now Halloween Fireworks are becoming a thing. Why should we encourage and condone a proliferating societal noise addiction? It really is isn't healthy. Let those who wish to damage their eardrums enjoy their pastime through headphones; they can turn the volume up as high as they like.  If last night was the end of it then that is great but I think there'll be more through the weekend and more discarded jumbo firework boxes dumped in the park. I hope we follow other countries in adopting low noise fireworks and drone shows instead.    
    • NYE is always like this. If you’re concerned about your pets, please consider seeing a vet as they can help. We give our dog valerian and play calming music, which helps especially after long walks and a big dinner. If it’s for yourself, it’s one night, so also suggest seeing your doctor for advice.  It is loud, although more predictable ( kept to evening:to midnight) than Guy Fawkes celebrations which go on for days and are arguably selfish and inconsiderate. Either way, it’s a very difficult time for many.     
    • Thanks Rowan! Well done you have done amazing on your fitness journey. Happy New Year EDF and all my wonderful clients whom I've had the pleasure to train this year. I'm looking forward to 2026 🙌🎊
