Hi, this thread could also be entitled business ideas for ED.

First off, I'd like there to be a bar/members club to go after the pubs shut which also doubles as a good party venue. And then, a nice new stationery/art supplies shop which caters for creative professionals and children (the same thing?)

AnotherPaul, could not agree more!


As a local Graphic Designer I would certainly use the art supplies shop instead of going up to town.


As for a club, I used to go over to RedStar in Camberwell but this has been a no-go place the last 12 months. Something like Liquorice with decks but a bit bigger for a dance.

Actually Georgia, it's the 80s music part of your post that disturbs me most. Yuk!

This is an example of a thread that is coming close to being Lounged. The original post was "What East Dulwich needs?", the original poster has not commented and taken their own thread off topic so please, perhaps a little respect to their post and original question. I don't like doing this but I get complaints that threads get taken off topic really quickly.

What ED needs is a music-based venue with some decks and sufficient dancing space (but preferably not a revolving dance floor). All or part of said place would be available to hire for private parties, enabling locals to hire for their fantastic birthday parties, thus saving their neighbours the anguish of booming parties.


With so many people in ED in terraced houses and flats, this would be a tremendous amenity. Church halls and the like don't really fit the bill.

Brothels - there a few.


Opium Dens ? not that I know of, but they did bust and close down a crack house a couple of months back nr Goose Green. Crack house doesnt conjur up the same romantic images as an opium den does it ?

whats wrong with the yilmaz for a late night top-up,same with the vale which has always been handy for a late one even in its previous incarnations eg hamlet,manor,cherry tree etc.can be a bit rough and ready but hey at 2 in the morning when the drinks are flowing wheres not.

Hmmmm...


Well apart from a decent bakery and a better bookshop, what East Dulwich really needs is more places to cross Lordship Lane safely without winding up underneath the wheels of an SUV with a "Baby-on-board" sticker in the back window.


What else? Oh, yes, a black hole that sucks estate agent offices into a parallel dimension...

No it doesn't Snorky. Besides I wouldn't take any drug that was named after a piece of my arse.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
