Last night four of us had a last orders pint at the Bishop pub in Lordship Lane. When we were finishing our drinks the 'Barsteward' drying glasses sought to deny any of us use of the bogs. Is this legal after taking our money? Surely was he was taking the piss?


The time before I went there a different barman overcharged me by ?105 on my card, luckily I got it back in the end, no thanks to the mardy bar manageress on duty that night. Not going back there in a hurry...

Were the toilets being cleaned? I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to use them otherwise? Seems a bit strange to me, and I have to say, I'd not be happy having to head home at that time of night (presuming it was late if after last orders?) with a full bladder!

Nope, they weren't being cleaned, on my way there the baldy barman said in an abrupt manner "Where do you think you're going?", I said I was going to the toilet, he followed this up with "Don't spend too long in there", what a charmer


The rest of our group got similar grief later on, I think the boss needs to organise some customer service workshops for his staff. It's a shame as the ale is pretty good in there and they have a decent range of drinks.

Not so much typical of the forum but typical of some sort of people. Specifically the sort of person who gets arsey with a barman and posts anonymously for the first time on a forum having a whinge


Neither the Bishop nor the forum should worry too much...

I've always said it's not my bag, but have always found staff perfectly nice. One real gripe, and this is aimed at all bars, not just the Bishop, is when they serve you a drink and a minute later you have a doorman standing over you telling you to drink up and leave. Don't serve a drink unless the customer is going to get 20 minutes to drink it in peace!

The whole place is a toilet they've got a right cheek.


Full of nutters! The Staff are the biggest nutters in the place so it does not surprise me what happened one bit.


They're doing you a favour serving you a drink.


Steer WELL clear there are so many other good drinking spots well not the EDT.

I don?t like the Bishop much but I always seem to end up in there. It?s god/karma/the universe or whatever you want to call her playing bastard silly buggers with me all the time.


But luckily, if you aren?t a masochistic idiot like me, ED is full of far superior, cheaper and friendlier places to drink.

No way though......


I'm not sure that many of these places should licensed by Southwark.


East Dulwich is beginning to attract aggressive drunken revellers who would otherwise be going to areas more suited to large numbers of drunken louts.


Like the Old Kent road.


East Dulwich is turning into a mini Croydon town centre next there?ll be hen and stag parties roaming up and down lordship lane. Every other shop entrance will be splattered with vomit, luckily most residents have children and are will be quite used to the stench.


Hey that?s what we?re all about anyhow; it?s the up and coming area we have all decided we want to live in FAB we?re so Lucky!

I say I does do live in ED.


In mi mansion with such lovely surroundings who would want to live anywhere else except possibly I?d consider monaco the cayman islands boston ummmm

chelsea fulham chiswick so many other places just not enough money, so I be stuck in ED but I do have a love hate relationship love the place but mostly hate the people. But that?s true of almost all cities the people are rude aggressive like caged angry animals.


We live like animals and the animals live free to like kings on organic farms only thing is we end up eating the poor things.


Guess it?s just the nature of City life.


That?s it I?m off to live on a Farm?????????????.. n get mi nose in a trough.

Bit like the local politicians, only not just for the weekend. Only joking.

    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
