So I have searched all the EDF threads and see no mention of where all the gay single girlies in ED go... any clues? Not that I'm advocating women-only venues etc etc (I'm all for mixing it up) but it can be hard for a girl to work out what's what (I think my gaydar was taken out when I had my appendix removed last month) so pointers most appreciated.

Hey Badger, I have gay girlie friends and they like Bar Story in Peckham (mixed) and The Chocolate Lounge in Elephant & Castle (mostly gay women only). The later is really nice, more sophisticated & chilled out than places in Soho. Rye Bar & Grill next to Peckham Rye is also FULL of lesbians sometimes - and the food is lovely.

The Chocolate Lounge has indeed closed down. The Rye Hotel does seem to be popular with local sapphists and in any case is just really nice - I can't vouch for anywhere else as that's the only local pub I seem to go to these days. In the past I've made new friends (ahem) in Dulwich Library and dog-walking on Peckham Rye, but if you don't like books or dogs then that's probably not much help. ED is an oddity in that it is positively heaving with lesbians, but without ever having had any particular bars/pubs/W.I. meetings as a social focus.

The EDWI did do the traditional cake stall at the fair, but we're planning to do lots of fun and less traditional events. Things that have been mentioned include wine tasting, car/bike maintenance, handy-round-the-house type stuff (how to rewire a plug etc), walks, theatre nights - all sort of things. Essentially the thoughts are that if a member is interested in something, and others would be up for it too, then we'll go for it.


I also suspect there will probably quite a number of 'hang out, have a few drinks and chat' type evenings, which, as we're meeting regularly in a pub, will probably happen at least once a month once the main business/aim of the meeting is dispensed with.


It seems most women are interested in joining to make new local friends and have some fun nights out.

*blush* :-$ - put to shame by my prejudices of the SE22 WI movement. What can I say - "WI" just makes me think of my Granny and her "how to live off rations" recipes / "how to look elegant without silk stockings" fasion/beauty advice / "how to keep your man happy" relationship advice.


You should think about re-branding ...


Thanks for all the suggestions. :))

What about the gay boys (and 30 somethings)?


Saturday on Northcross / LL always seems to have plenty walking about, but where do they go after dark??


I heard that Black Cherry was meant to be gay friendly, but it always seems quite (straight) couply when I go in - anyone got any suggestions that don't involve getting on a bus to Soho, Vauxhall etc? :-S

As an SE22 gayboy myself I like The Rye the most. Some nights it seems mostly gay, some nights not at all - you never know really. Inside 72 is cool as well - clientele seems mixed.


Am really upset about the Chocolate Lounge - Me and lezzie friends really liked that place :'(


Would be nice to have somewhere gay in ED. Not some awful cruisey Soho bar - maybe a laid-back pub with a good jukebox and nice food.

Badger, are you sporty at all? Please don't think I'm stereotyping, a friend of mine split with her lass about 3 years ago now, and after getting over it, went and started playing in a girls footy team, and found herself surrounded by new, mostly gay, friends, and was quickly in a new relationship with a lovely lass, which is still going strong! :))


Oh, and on a very loosely related topic, has anyone seen Electric 6 (see the link) live? They're playing at a bar near my sister's work soon, and we were considering going to see them...... *gonna spend all your money.....* ;-)

I can't think what you mean....?:-$


Maybe we should check out the Rye on James' recommendation? Perhaps they do girls there too?

::o Hi Badger


I am new to East Dulwich having just moved a week ago from Nth London so if you want to check out some venues nearby we could meet up for a bit of mutual support maybe?


I was living at the top end of Barry Road but unfortunately it didnt work out so have been rescued by a friend of a friend & am now lodging in Uplands Road. We went to the Rye Hotel last night for a meal & the was a good mix in there but my gaydar doesnt work so well these days, since I fell for a lil Australian who is coming to visit me in just over 3 weeks ;-).


Well if you fancy a quick half, a chat or a laugh ... just send me a lil ol msg


Cheers GG

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
