I got a text from an anonymous number.

I believe it may be from someone that used to be on EDF but no longer is.

Not sure how the got my number.


No idea why they thought I would be that interested. ?

We really DON'T need a sports bar. Walkabouts are awful.

I think tradesman has it backwards, people were desperate to like the cherry tree, and the promise of 'new management' meant people flocked there and were cautiously optimistic that a new leaf had been turned.


But the age old problems resurfaced.


If this is true then i reckon whatever comes has the potential to be a massiv success as its a fantastic building and perfect location.


Walkabouts are admittedly a bit meh (to resurrect a dead meme) just a bit clinical and soulless, but I've had some great times in them watching the rugby with kiwi mates.

Damn, was hoping for a Wetherspoons!


And I agree with El Pibe, people had high hopes for The Cherry Tree at one point, and those hopes lasted just a few months during which the food was excellent, the range of drinks was excellent and the chef and managers were lovely. And more and more people were sussing this out and going to eat/drink there.


Then the usual happened and it was back to its normal dismal empty self.


Any "abuse" (that's a bit of an exaggeration) subsequently directed towards the people responsible for the usual happening was based on facts and well deserved in view of their actions, in my opinion.


Anyway good luck to whatever replaces The Cherry Tree, it surely can't be worse than its most recent incarnations.

But a Wetherspoons breakfast is a joy to behold. And their beer festivals (?2.75 a pint) are worth a trip or two. As mentioned, I've hardly ever been into the Cherry Tree, so I'm not losing something I never had.


And Antic is a chain of 37 pubs (including EDT, The Tiger, The Sun of Camberwell, The Effra Social, Catford Constitutional, Westow House, Sylvan Post etc), while thw Walkabout has 32. So being a chain is not necessarily a mark of evil.

      Stolen mobile phones - where do they go?

      By ianr · Posted

      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 ☹️

      Clapham to Dulwich Advice

      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.
