Some people enjoy drinking cocktails on top of a piss-smelling multi-storey car park in Peckham. Takes all sorts ;-) FWIW I love The Rake. Only five minutes from work and always a friendly welcome. It's fair to say they always warn people if the beer is 'pricey'. And, as been pointed out, there's always a decent ale on for under four quid.

I like the Rake, but currently drinking more frequently in the Old Red Cow in Smithfield, which has a great selection of cask and keg, and is the closest pub to work that's not a City hell-hole. I still have a psychological block about paying more than a fiver a pint (or at least much more than a fiver), and most of the really expensive stuff is way over strength IPA which I don't like anyway.

Bit out the way for us south-Londoners though, innit?

I quite like that stuff, but it's really only suitable if you're staying for "just the one".

Googleing Most expensive pint in Britain


At ?5.80, London pub sells probably the most expensive pint in Britain


The Coach & Horses proclaims itself as Soho's "most famous pub" ? but it now has a less appealing claim to celebrity.


The historic watering hole for some of London's most raffish residents sells what is claimed to be the most expensive pint in Britain.


Even legendary former clients such as columnist Jeffrey Bernard may have baulked at the eye-watering ?5.80 for a pint of Leffe, the draught Belgium beer, sold at Tesco for about ?2.

Obviously Google has never heard of or reached East Dulwich..

Yup if only the big breweries back then had grown beards and made it "Craft Red Barrell" they'd have got away with selling gassy kegged crap for a premium price too

      Tree Dulwich Park

      By Sue · Posted

      This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?

      SIM card for spare mobile

      By Sue · Posted

      I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?

      I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.

      Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
