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

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
