You're a legend sir. Both these numbers are going under E for Emergency in my phone.


Unfortunately I fell asleep directly after eating a fortune cookie I found in the bottom of my bag and went to bed without any supper.


Now I'm wondering if anywhere delivers bacon butties as I have no food in the house but can't leave as I'm waiting for a delivery. Pah.

Actually this is a good thread...given its world status London is totally rubbish for out of hours delivery - why so?


Last time I was staying at my bro's in NY it was great to be able to order anything at any time - fully tested by ordering fresh Japanese after a big night at 4am and amazingly once "English Tea" - proper scones delivered to your door with cream and jam at midnight.


Hit the same hour in ED, get home tipsy and what do we have? Answer: Londis, a run the gauntlet walk to Kebab and Wine, or somewhere so far away that the foods cold /you've fallen asleep by the time it arrives.


If Surma or Hisar started doing delivery only after midnight to 3am I'd be a taker - but is there a market??

probably not, i'd imagine that's why nobody's doing it - lets face it, lefty though alot of us like to think we are, if there's an overindulgent demand in the market, ED is likely to be one of the first places where capitalism will thrive in that direction!

Think we are BN5, think we are?


Yeah, you're probably right. I'm vaguely aware of a fried chicken place in Camberwell that delivers late, but I imagine it's in all likelihood not up to ED's organic standards. Actually, what am I talking about - used it once and it wasn't even up to my drunk-and-will-feast-at-the-chicken-cottage standards.

I'd really like a HEALTHY fast food place on the lane for on my way home. Somewhere that does grilled chicken and a big leafy bean salad in a cardboard box, a juice bar and falafels. The closest I've seen to that is some of the fare Leon does in central London.


All the pubs, curries, fish and chips and kebabs round here...not good. In the future it will come!

Are you sure Wimpole?


Usually if I want food at that time, it might be because I've had a few ales. And if I have, then I'm more likely to want food badness than a superjuice.


That said, try Hisar for some tasty looking falafel and salad late of an evening.

its a good point. i always wanted the fictional service that was thought up in sex and the city when you can call the number and they will deliver anything, food, asprin, milk anything. and why not. its a great idea. when you're hungover, drunk, ill, injured, busy with the kids to go out. if this was set up in london it would do a roaring trade.

I don't think this would help my neighbours, who have a big family car but never seem to go out to get their own shopping! My mum was never so lazy when she had to put up with me & my brother. =/


I'd love to know if there are any takeaway services available out there. I was starving last night =[

      Nursery Recommendations

      By Mary Mac · Posted

      Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend.

      Nursery Recommendations

      By turtle1409 · Posted

      We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!

      New Shops in East Dulwich and Nearby - 2025 Edition

      Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly.

      Noise from Wide Awake festival

      By Rockets · Posted

      Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉
