Why not take advantage of EDF's monthly Drinks Night and the Curry Club? Both welcome EDF members, whether active posters or shy lurkers. I can't think of a better way to meet loads of friendly local folks. From what I've seen, there are usually plenty of unattached guys and gals from all age groups at the drinks nights.


(I haven't dined with the Curry Club yet but a few single friends have, which kinda makes my point.)


EDF Drinks Night (June)

EDF Curry Club

Hi there. There is an informal group called "Bring a Single Friend" that meet around the Clapham area. It's run as a sideline by two thirty-something gals. They have suggested that I set a new group up for older singletons...maybe "bring a divorced friend"get-togethers! Anyway, you can google their site for more info. And there are always the countless online dating sites to turn to...Hope this helps.

It is a beautiful day and I am feeling great and some gorgeous looking guy (with a lovely personality of course) happens to be also single and spending the time of day in Peckham Rye Park.... I wonder if this happens in real life??


A sunny day - single person's fantasy or just mine.....


Any takers tomorrow?

Hey, just reading about the singles evenings, am very interested, also very single..when is the next night? or has someone written it down and i'm just too thick to have found it?


my worry is that i am a mature lady, [in years, not behaviour] and would feel really daft if i turned up and everyone else is young.


also am terrified of walking into a pub on my own!! how sad is that..


help...:-S

Another reason we need a forum like this in each London area. I'm mature as well (age at least) and single and were it not for the fact it can take me less time to get to Birmingham (120 miles) than Dulwich (15 miles) I would turn up as well. I can do it now and then but wouldn't wish that trip on myself or vice versa long term. My first girlfriend was in Blackheath but I was a lot younger and fitter then and there was no congestion charge either. I wish I could drum up enough support for a do up this way but the key here is you already know each other so meet as friends even if never met in person. Going in cold is just like every other planned event and totally painful.

Maybe because people aren't interested in the dating website you are here to plug? Or because this thread is from 2009. One of those two.


+1 for the lounge.

    • 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?
