WTF - why is it so hard to find a pub in East Dulwich this afternoon showing the rugby world cup games on a decent size screen with the sound on! I get that there is football on too, but surely the pubs could find someway of ensuring that at least one place is doing the rugby games justice. Its the World Cup - the chance for the minnows to have a bite at the big boys - Japan beating South Africa being a wonderful example. We should be making the most of these games whilst we host the tournament.

Used to see the KCHRFU down the Bishop all the time.


And 6 Nations EDT used to be one of the big London pubs to watch

(was known as so on Wales rugby forums).

Its exactly that apathetic attitude to the biggest sporting event this country has hosted since the Olympics that annoys me. Yes, more people play & follow football, but maybe, just maybe we should just try to get behind this event, and all it brings, instead of telling people to "go to Putney".


We've got 2 international teams training in our area (Australia & Romania both at Dulwich college) and things like this:

going on. So, if it means I may need to miss a Crystal palace game in the pub one night, I'm quite happy to do so

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • 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" ?
