And before that, The New Hamlet Inn. Only went there a handful of times before it became The Vale. For a period around 2003/04 it was a regular Friday/Saturday night venue for a bunch of us (start at The CPT then head down there before grabbing a wrap roll from Yilmaz then often heading back to The CPT (upstairs).


But despite putting ?100+ behind their bar EVERY time I went in there (God, to have that money to spend now...), never doing any drugs in there (honstly), and never getting in any scraps, the owner still looked at me like I was something unpleasant he'd trodden in. Eventually you just think maybe your money would be better spent elsewhere.


Plus the music changed from fun stuff to dance to (Hey Ya) to stuff I wasn't remotely in to, and the crowds dwindled, and other places got later licenses so it wasn't the only local option after 11pm.

No it's not, at all. a branded chain with all the same named pubs, menus, etc and aimed at delivering the same experience to people who want the security of a brand they know is very different to a pubco that owns a bunch of different pubs with different names (although some pub cos standardise some of the offering).

Legend has it that the robbers celebrated their success with a drink in East Dulwich at The Cherry Tree pub.


I believe this to be just an urban myth.

Let's hope it changes from The Not Very Cheery Tree to The Cheery Tree :))


Do the Adventure Bar people also own this Australian (?) chain then, or is that a franchise?

So does anybody have some actual link to a written source which will tell us without a doubt who has bought The Cherry Tree?


I'm beginning to think the Not Very Cheery owners are going to stay there after all! :)) and :(

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      The local councillor in question took home £50,172.71 in allowances and expenses in 23/24 on top of his full time salary as a teacher (which includes several weeks paid holiday). https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-12/Member allowances 2023-24 - individual figures.pdf   I'm sure many hard working people at Sainsbury's would be delighted to make quite so much money.

      Did anything actually crash into a pedestrian? Hope they are ok if so.

      I don't care particularly for McAsh, the Greens or their drugs policy, but this "Greens will feed your children crack at school" stuff from the Daily Mail is just hysterical nonsense. Labour should be ashamed for seeding it - and the Mail doesn't know any better. Meanwhile, I can't remember the exact Tweet I saw recently but it was something like "some people who believe all politicians are out to enrich themselves only say that because they can't imagine serving their community for its own sake". The idea that serving as a local councillor (including dealing with the public, internal party politics - which is always the most vicious where the stakes are lowest, and plenty of unpaid prep work) is a great pathway for careerists and moneygrabbers is utter shite. On a per hour basis you'd be far better off working at Sainsbos.

      That’s awful - I really hope no one is seriously injured. It might be worth updating the title so it clearly reflects what happened: a driver crashed into a pedestrian. The way we describe collisions matters, because it shapes how people understand responsibility and risk. If a cyclist hit someone, it would sound odd to say “bike hit pedestrian” without mentioning the rider - yet when cars are involved, the driver often disappears from the wording. Using accurate language isn’t about blaming anyone before the facts are known; it’s simply about recognising that vehicles don’t act on their own. Drivers have agency, and it would be helpful if the wording reflected that.
