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."

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      By LondonFermentation · Posted

      I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.

      @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
