As long as the millions of Man United fans can find their way to Old Trafford from Winchester, Guildford, The Isle Of Wight, Mablethorpe.........:))

That's what makes that pub so great, they'll be rubbing shoulders with students, hip young thirty somethings (well, keef) builders, commuters having one before getting home.

Proper community pub, at least it was before it got flock wallpaper.

I think it is blloming brilliant!


I'm in the process of buying a flat on Lordship lane and I keep going on google maps to have a virtual tour around the area. I am so jealous of the people who can find themslves, my colleague appears in two different locations wearing the same clothes. It's also a great too for small businesses because quite often you can't remeber the name of a florist you might have walked past, this way you can just take a virtual walk to find out the name. The blurring of faces and numberplates is automated so I think it's fair enough that a few have been missed - i'd love my face on there anyway. Although, before people start quoting me as an idiot about individuals privacy I do agree that they should have checked all images (billions of them) because of the cases that have come up such as the woman who is recognisable and was filmed moving into a new safe house to escape her violent partner.


I don't live is east dulwich yet so I feel I am allowed to ask without shame what does CPT stand for, I asume it's something tavern and gets mentioned a lot on this forum?

Did you guys read in the Metro a couple of days ago about the Goggle street van filming streets in upstate Newyork. It knocked over and killed a deer and if you look on the street it happened on you can see the dead animal.

Twas claimed in one of the free train-rags yesterday that a woman fleeing domestic violence was located by her abuser with the aid of streetview. No idea if it's true or not, but if it is then to say that google owe a recently beaten woman an apology doesn't quite cover it...

sounds like Metro were playing loose with the facts

How would it work anyway? Would the guy have a rough idea where she lived and did a search? Would he not be as or more likely to do that in real life to greater effect?

Can I just make a point here?


If we have the technology to do something someone is going to do it so surely it is preferable to have this kind of thing out there in the public domain and freely available than the preserve of some corporation or government.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
