I understand that was what was behind the 'Lordship Lane Incident.' A group of young fried chicken house food critics were debating the respective merits of Dallas Chicken n Ribs versus Texas Chicken House. Apparently it was alleged that Dallas is superior as you can dump yr BMX bike outside, thus blocking the bus stop and pavement, while you order from their a la carte menu. Another experienced chicken chomper sided with Texas as they give you more free salt sachets. Umbrage was taken and an unseemly fight broke out with the parties assaulting each other with wooden chip forks. It is for this reason alone that no-one was too seriously injured.

When I first read this article I thought it must be from some journalist who has an axe to grid - perhaps she had bought a house in Clapham for extortionate money before finding out ED was 1) nicer and 2) cheaper. And her mother had then tried to console her by telling her ED was a sh1thole.


(that's before someone pointed out it was a hoax of course)

Really?! Are there *any* 3+ bedroom houses in the area for less than ?5,500.00?!

Doubt it. Have you got the comma and full stop in the wrong place?


By the way ED was featured on Newsnight last night with an interview with Pretty Pregnant about lack of lending by the banks to small businesses. Good shot down Lordship Lane with the Bishop featuring prominently. No Paul Yarrow in sight and no trouble or anti-social behaviour outside the Advenure Bar.

      Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2

      @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.

      Regarding Gala fees: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/280615/GALA-2024-and-one-stage-shows-stakeholder-consultation-findings-report.pdf‘ ‘’The decision to host large/major-scale commercial (ticketed) events in Southwark was taken in 2017, deemed necessary in order to raise enough revenue to offset the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of 50+ outdoor community events per year, and in order to continue to fund a range of high quality, free events across Southwark through the Cultural Celebrations Fund grants programme.’’
