Hi all,


Myself and my sister are new to the area and was wondering if there is a group set up to meet new people. Whether a curry club, book or general catch up in one of the pubs on Lordship Lane.


We are really enjoying living in Dulwich but to have a group of mates in the area would put the icing on the cake.


O may be a cake club te he


Look forward to your response



Thanks guys

Sarah

Hi Tootsmonkey..


There is indeed a Curry Club. It celebrated it's 8th Anniversary in Jan 2015.


We generally meet on the first Thursday of each month and go to one of the many local

Indian restaurants. We usually meet a pub near to the Restaurant an hour or so before we eat

which is usually at 8.00pm.


Numbers vary but at our last meeting last Thursday we had 12 people and went to The Curry Cabin.

Its not actually a club as such. There is no membership and anyone / everyone is welcome to along.

It would be lovely to see you there.

Welcome!


If you are into fitness British Military Fitness in Dulwich Park or Peckham Rye is a great way to meet new people.

I've been going a few years and have got to know some great people.


Also there is Park Run http://www.parkrun.org.uk/


A great way to combine with the curry Club I reckon.

Hey I've just seen your message, me and my housemate are in the same position have just moved to the area in November and would like to meet some new people! Let us know if you fancy a pub quiz? or meeting for drinks at some point? Look forward to hearing from you! :)

You are really welcome to come to Film Club on 31st Jan!

We meet for drinks in the Rye pub and go to the plex for a ?4.99 film and then back to the pub again. There are a group of regulars, but new people come each time.

Many good friends have been made with lots of socialising in between.

Have a look for ED Film Club in what's on section.

If you like singing, there are a number of choirs in the area.


Also Nyge and I run a Singaround once a month at The Old Nun's Head :)

It's always very friendly, with a mix of people who have been before and people who haven't, and you'd soon get to know people. There's all ages from eighteen (sometimes younger) to over sixty (that's me :)) )


Although we're basically a folk club at heart, anybody can sing anything at the Singaround (and they do!) - and you don't have to sing, you can just come and listen if you want.


It's on a Sunday night, starts at 7.30pm and it's free entry with a voluntary donation at the interval.

I've been going to the Wednesday night book club that meets in The Clockhouse. It's a really friendly group and it's next meeting is 11th Feb.


Also there's a group that meets up on Saturday at 10am in Peckham Rye to exercise, there's no cost, it's really friendly and a mix of abilities. We meet out the front of Cafe on the Rye and go there after for a coffee to recover.

Hey, so tomorow night we'll be at the great exhibition from about half 7 so please join us and hopefully we'll have more chance of getting some answers right! I'll go by tomorow and book a table and we'll post on here where we're sitting so you can find us. Looking forward to meeting you!

Maria and Laura :)

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
