I do have to say that my lodger a few years ago was drinking in the Uplands, and witnessed two women were quarrelling over a man. Each poured their pint into the other woman's handbag! I have to say I have never been tempted to go in there since hearing the tale.
no way moos, im not a snob, hehe, a bit of a chav meself infact! . just commenting on what i found in the pub on three occasions. It is no different from saying most of the people who drink in the bishop during the day are pretentious and up their own backsides, either end of the same spectrum. where do unaffected people drink in Dulwich?
yes, your right Brendan, the EDT has more of a mix of people, not very exciting in there though is it...it always amuses me the way the east dulwich folk talk in such 'earnest' to each other on a friday night, no one seems to be having fun, apart from the small crowd of people round the snooker/pool table..

EDT? I was referring to under the tree with a few cans of Diamond White.


If however you require a slightly more refined atmosphere there are loads of other pubs. The CPT is good as are the Gowlett, Plough and the Mag.


But you know pubs are like marshmallows, white and pink and fluffy but gooey when you cook them.


Or is that bunnies? I can never remember.

xxxxxxx


The Uplands used to be a very rough pub some years ago, and there were frequently fights etc - it isn't any more.


I find the people in there very friendly, staff and punters, I just wouldn't go there again to eat.


Daizie, I think referring to people as "chavs" is unpleasant and says more about you than about them, just my opinion.

I agree, very entertaining!! Pouring drinks in to handbags does save smudged makeup!! sensible girls - obviously they were not THAT bothered about the bloke!!

Do you know that Di Barker (Real Name Tracey Wilkinson) from Badgirls is a barmaid in the Uplands, my wife spotted her so I asked her are you blah blah from blah blah when I went to the bar. she said she was, she is really nice and didn't mind me asking her about her acting.

when I first moved here (about 8 years ago) - the dry cleaners on Lordship Lane (near the EDT) used to have signed photos of Jim Fenner and Di Barker behind the counter! Also I saw Yvonne Atkins walk past Caffe Nero the other week!

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
