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.

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?

Dear DM,


Hope you have one of those steel insulated mugs, seeing as you are a Starbucks addict. You'll save money and be doing something less damaging to the planet. (Note that I did not say good for the planet. Hmmm, controversial.) Nero

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.

      Which Dulwich - East/West/Village?

      By vladi · Posted

      I would look at the area between Dulwich and Herne Hill The link from Herne Hill station by Thameslink to St Pauls is superb. but it all depends on what rating ( 1 thro' 10) you give to each of the parameters you have identified.

      One (part of) Dulwich

      By Moovart · Posted

      You probably don't need to understand it better!! But basically you used to be able to drive up and down Court lane and Calton Avenue across the Dulwich village junction with gay abandon and now you can't because that part of junction is now blocked by multicoloured woodwork and planters.  So Dulwich village is split in half for vehicles and you have to drive a long round to get from one side to other.  Some people (the majority who responded to Southwark's seemingly flawed consultation) hate this, especially those living on roads to which the through traffic has been displaced and those who have to drive alot further to get from one side of DV to the other and some people like it.  The debate will go on forever without a happy ending for some of the people.  That's it really 🤔

      ED Half Houses

      By emz_167 · Posted

      We live in a half house on Pellatt road and did a loft conversion a few years ago. No complaints at all! The walls on the adjoining side (the side where you share the front door) is a bit thinner than a typical Victorian home so we can hear our neighbours going up and down the stairs but otherwise it’s good.
