Now you just pack it in there SM, Living South gives us reviews of this sort of calibre and is undeserving of your scorn.

"Salad leaves us green with envy"

Snuggled in between a local hardware store and an undertakers might not be the obvious place for a vegetarian restaurant on Lordship Lane but we were more than happy to chance our arm on a wet Tuesday night.

A warm welcome ushered away any thoughts of a depressing experience and we were soon ooh-ing and aah-ing over the menu. Beansprouts in a chili tang and Bluegrass Pancakes whisked away any thoughts of the usual veggie fare, and we were soon looking forward to our main courses. Bean curd failed to live up to its rhyming slang and tasted delicious in a Shitake mushroom sauce, whilst my partner's Roast Tuber Roast was rich and warm. Puddings were delicious too and shooed away any thoughts that veggies can't have fun too. We shared a yoghurt and honey layer cake which was absolutely. Our groaning stomachs decided against coffee. I predict a bright start for this neighbourhood newcomer. **** ?? :0)) ???

I checked out their website. I did not realise they were now owned by the Archant Group - who own loads of magazines, in particular all the "county" magazines. (We get "Yorkshire Life" here). I clicked on "contact us", hoping to find an email address where I could enquire about current distribution, and found instead an invitation to buy a subscribtion. Yeah right.

Media Pack here.


Lots of guff about reader research, targeting of ABC1 homes etc, but no audit (ABC, BPA) information that I can see, which basically means they can claim what they like. At the moment they are claiming LS goes to 53,000 homes across Anerley, Brixton, Brockley, Camberwell, Crystal Palace, Dulwich (East, West and Village), Forest Hill, Herne Hill, Kennington, New Cross, Norwood, Peckham, Penge, Sydenham and Tulse Hill.


If the circ is audited, then I apologise to Archant. You'd expect to see that in the media pack, though.

It also serves as a tool of middle class oneupmanship against visitors from other parts of the captial. When inquired by their curious guests they lie and say they never read it.


"Ooo, Cressida, what's this?"


"Oh it's just a monthly circular about south London, me and Ptolemy never bother with it."

    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting  but the Tories, 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
