I think they are adapatable to both matthew - although judging by the state of the basketball nets, I'm not sure how much gets played


Some JAGS tennis info here and I have walked passed a few small clubs around the village area as well - but I've never investigated


Here is another one:


Dulwich Laws Tennis CLub

Give the courts in Dulwich park a miss, there's gangs there that steal all your stuff, bikes, bags etc while you're playing they walk around with massive staff cross dogs off lead intimidating would be tennis players. Keep children well away.


Would go to Ruskin park instead, much safer.

Lock your bike up and keep your stuff near the net?

What a loads of bollox.


Advice to anyone anywhere; don't leave your stuff lying around in public places as it may get robbed.


I have played there numerous times and there have been no issues, ever.

Burgess Park courts were no longer free the last time I went there. They had undergone a refurbishment and had some extra courts added. I think it was ?10 for one hour (though my younger brother went to book it so they charged him children's rate) This was a number of years ago so it may have changed now.


I play at Belair Park which are good courts and are free. Not sure if it is commonplace but the court etiquette there is to stay only for an hour unless there is no one waiting.

Should have put a ;-)


I was just joking, too much queuing for courts st the moment at Dulwich, probably be ok again when Murray gets knocked out, God help us if he wins it though.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
