Hello EDF!


The nights are getting warmer and longer, and I'm planning a pub crawl, playing the birthday card to keep "can't we go somewhere central?" to a minimum.


I'm going to start at Goose Green and wind my way up to Rye Lane and the Bussey Building, but thought that there would be no better place than here to check I'd not missed any favourite pubs/bars out!


Current plans are:

The Bishop

The EDT

Heading up to the Flying Pig

Then on to the Gowlett

(Skipping the Victoria and Prince Albert through fear of blood poisoning)

Up Blenheim Grove to Bar Story/Peckham Springs/Brick Brewery

Aaannd as Franks isn't open for another month, popping up to the roof of the Bussey Building (if it isn't raining)so the tourists can enjoy the view.


If I've missed an unmissable, your thoughts would be welcome!


Cheers!

I had completely forgotten about the Montpellier and really do prefer it to the FP. I didn't even know the four quarters existed (I think it's disguised a bit too well, I'd always thought it was a weird casino) but what a great place for a regroup!


I love pedlar as well but think they may not take too kindly to us piling in en masse and demanding a quick round of peckham martinis at the bar...

Jah- this is my biggest concern.

Nigello - the hope might be a bit out of the way but I am crossing my fingers that john the unicorn will be ready. This unfortunately won't help aforementioned biggest concern.

I've never been to the peckham liberal club but have always wondered about what lies within!

Went on a stag related pub crawl a few months ago. The plan was to take in ten pubs, so I went for a half in each, carefully pacing myself so I'd still be sober enough for whatever club we ended up in. But no... 11:30pm and everyone went home. So that was that.

Always find pub crawls if over ambitious a bit of chore*. Just as I get settled, fancy another pint the cry goes up, " We are moving on" By pub 3 a breakaway group has formed and we all meet up at the last boozer on list. 3 or 4 pubs Max for me these days, with a couple of hours in one over lunch. Sorted.


Enjoy your Birthday pub crawl wherever you go KM.


*see also fancy dress parties.

Deffo avoid the Bishop. I'd probably cut out the Gowlett and Montpellier too- or end in them. After the Flying Pig go to Four Quarters (lots of fun, good music and good beer) then on to Rye Wax (basement of Bussey Building- cocktail happy hour is 6-8 I think) then Brick Brewery/Bar Storey & Peckham Springs, finish at the Montpellier/Gowlett

My housemate reconnoitred the re-reopened Prince Albert at the weekend, and now wishes to officially designate it as "our local". Worth a look.

Im thinking of coming through on Saturday* and doing a bit of a crawl...Not sure what I fancy as yet. 3 or 4 pubs heading back toward Peckham Rye...


Im hearing the New Hope has opened so may sniff that out.


*meeting an old school friend on Friday which may put paid to that though.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
