Hiya dulwichmum,


Yes I certainly remember Starbucks at DKH Sainsburys. Was really surprised when it turned up there, not long after Starbucjs bought out Seattle Coffee Co and started to colonise the West End. Often used to have a coffee there on a Sunday after picking up stuff from Sainsburys.


Bit surreal to have a view of the other shoppers coming through the checkouts, though.


The staff in there were a bit hopeless, as well.

Well Slim,


I just loved the big soft chairs and the coffee and the fluffy top on it, and the cheesecake, and the Ikea sliding bead toy thingy that occupied the little ones while they ate their ginger bread men. Isn't it a sad day when you stop shoe shopping, just long constantly for sleep, and the hilight of your week is a Starbucks in Sainsburys!


Parenthood, men should have government health warnings tattooed on their foreheads!


Bagpuss78, cherish your weekend lie ins, and enjoy eating Haagen Dazs ice cream without lots of other spoons being grabbed from the drawer and plunged into your ice-cream pot...


I love the children, but I am exhausted.

*D-M you could apply for a job there! Enjoy your favourite coffees for free and get paid.*


* I am sure Ana could look after the kids. I still have a lactating donkey - this could be an opportunity for a new range of asses milk based coffees that we could introduce to Starbies*

Darling Mr Mikewbate,


It is the relaxation of Starbucks that I enjoy (I have been there twice today already, once at London Bridge and once in Clapham!). I couldn't possibly work there, it would take the fun out of it.


I really don't think I fancy donkey milk latte either to be fair. Perhaps you could corner the market with an ass milk bath on LL? Didn't Cleapatra favour that as a beauty treatment? I don't think I fancy that either, but well, some people like crystals and reiki healing - so I suppose someone might be into it...


Maybe you could rent some space upstairs in Soup Dragon?

Hurrah!!! I will be moving from North London to East Dulwich on Saturday & although I do not know where the Sainsburys is in relation to Barry Road I look forward to exploring my new home & surrounding areas. I am rather partial to the gingerbread thingammy latte & a Rocky Road biscuit :-$

Dear Giddygecko,


Welcome to Dulwich darling! It is just super, and with our branch of Starbucks returning - virtually paradise. I think we should all meet up in there when the coffee shop opens in order to christen it. I shall buy you a gingerbread drink and rocky road biscuit to welcome you here myself.

      Parking in Herne Hill

      By Sue · Posted

      Yes it would be easier, and I give a lot to the hospice shops, but for various reasons there are certain things I prefer to give to Oxfam. However I might go through the books and see if some could be donated more locally. I think in any charity shop staffed by volunteers, the reception you get must depend on the member of staff. The Oxfam bookshop have always been very happy when I've taken shedloads of books there in the past. On the other hand, I've taken things to the hospice shop that were received very grumpily when they hadn't even looked in the bag or asked what they were. It felt like I was being a nuisance and causing them more work. I don't remember a previous thread on here  about the Oxfam shop and parking, but that's possibly because it wasn't relevant to me at the time.

      P13

      The other side of P13 drivers being risk averse is that I  have been on P13s at night that speeded (?sped?) down Underhill Road so fast I seriously thought they might crash.

      Some P13 drivers appear very risk averse. I live in Underhill and on that road drivers are forced to back away, often considerable distances, from buses to allow them to pass, even when the bus has an immediate space it could back into. The driver at the time said that buses 'weren't allowed to back'. So reports of cars 'blocking' P13s might mean simply that the car was legally parked but the road too narrow,or the bus driver not prepared to risk advancing. NB some P13 drivers are both skilled and courteous, but not all.

      Noise from Lime bike overnight servicing

      By march46 · Posted

      I’ve experienced the same in Herne Hill. It’s definitely linked to where there are already marked bays, it prevents you from parking within approx 200-400 metres around the bay. Dulwich Village has quite a few bays, which probably explains why you’ve noticed it there and not elsewhere.
