Why is it that I never seen a "for rent" board outside Koz? I've never seen Koz's commercial premises advertised and have only ever seen "under new management signs" on the windows - have the owners always been related/friends?

This really angers me. We have lost a Mexican and now Turkish restaurant. We've only very recently got a sushi place, we still don't have any Greek or decent Chinese places. Someone needs to sort it out. Ridiculous.

That statement is ridiculous, there's not a set quota for ethnically diverse food suppliers! As ever, demand will dictate the new ventures success / failure.

It's not exactly a national chain - just a few restuarants in London.

We have a good Turkish restaurant on the Lane - Hisar.

Excuse me for being Old Fashioned..


People suggesting that a new restaurant in that area would flourish because of the 'Planned Cinema'.


Somewhere on EDF I do seem to remember that people going to the 'Planned cinema' would 'Deffo' be

going to the new pub, The Lordship for a drink before show.


Well, as the 'Planned Cinema' is going to have a 'Planned Restaurant / Bar' they might have different

ideas. Perhaps Early Bird pre show deals.


Businesses should be able to stand alone and not rely on other businesses.

I love Hong Hong, always fresh and good prices, but it's a take out, not an eat in restaurant. I have to go as far as Sheen for a decent sit down Chinese meal these days, it's bang out of line.

Spot on Foxy. It's all about the offering. And rah, that Mexican place may have closed for a variety of reasons the main one being it wasn't that good? But nowadays in London we have a healthy Mecican restaurant scene and there is NO reason for us not to have one here on our doorstep. As for French cuisine or should I say "French" in ED, well, I won't even go there.

Oh Foxy if only I had the capital. I think we could show these people a thing or two. Considering how well advertised this area is, it's absolutely absurd that we do not have a decent fairly priced good service selection of restaurants to suit all tastes!

Don't get me wrong Louisa, I would love a decent Mexican in ED.. just pointing out that Dos Amigos was rubbish.

Have to say though, there is more variety on the Lane now than there has been for as long as I can remember.


P.S. I know it's old school, but I quite like Mr Lui

Enough of all these foreign restaurants. What about some luvverly old style boozers and greasy spoon caffs to bring back some old working class solidarity to LL?


When I was a lad in the 1950s you could enjoy a slap up fish and chip supper and ten pints of brown ale for tuppence ha'penny followed by a good punch up in North Cross Road and a painful bit of dentistry without anaesthetics performed by that lovable geezer Mad Frankie Fraser. He was cruel but fair.


Those were the days. No curry or taramasalata anywhere, but we were happy.

Local businesses are reacting to the Cinema foxy. I know the Palmerston is planning an early evening pre-cinema fixed price meal. like a pre theatre.

      But you have to assess whether these persistent drivers are creating more safety issues than diverting emergency vehicles on a longer route and clearly they are not. The fact members of the pro-closure lobby have built their argument on this actually shows how desperate, some would say selfish, they are to have the junction closed and just the way they want it. And unfortunately they seem to have the council over a barrel on something as the council weakly concedes to their position without hesitation. Was this not borne from an FOI that said one of the emergency services confirmed that they had not been consulted on the new DV design that Cllr Leeming then said was actually a mistake by the emergency services - and then it's a case of whether you believe Cllr Leeming or not....and his track record is hardly unblemished when it comes to all things LTNs? Exactly! When the "small vocal minority" was given a mouthpiece that proved it was anything other than small then some have repeatedly tried to discredit the mouthpiece.  The far-left has never been very good at accountability and One Dulwich is forcing our local councillors and council to be accountable to constituents and it wouldn't surprise me if the council are behind a lot of the depositioning activities as One Dulwich is stopping them from getting CPZs rolled out and must be seen as a huge thorn in the side of the idealogical plan they have. Southwark Labour has a long track record of trying to stifle constituents with a view that differs from theirs (see Cllr Leo Pollack for one example) or depositioning anyone trying to represent them (see Cllr Williams during the infamous Cllr Rose "mansplaining" episode. But you know, some think it's One Dulwich that are the greatest threat to local democracy and should not be trusted! 😉

      A song thrush visited my back garden today. I watched as it smashed open a snail by whacking it against the patio.

      I have no doubt that local people are genuinely involved (and personally can understand their not wanting to publicise their involvement). That said the proliferation of One groups across London and the degree of co-ordination suggests it is more than just a local grassroots group. I’m not really that interested, except that many of their supporters do bang on about transparency and accountability. I would be interested in the substance of their latest missive. Who has been pressurising the emergency services and how? Who genuinely believes that people are partially covering their plates and driving through due to inadequate signage? Sounds a little ridiculous / desperate. It feels like it may be time for them to start coming to terms with the changes tbh.
