I walked past it on Tuesday and it had a sign up saying it was closed for a few months for refurbishment but I read the piece about it in the Guardian and thought that it was ready. It does look so nice from the outside and hari, from what I could see when peering in, there was a bar.


Discounts for EDFers would be great - we want to put it on our wedding invites. Can you work your magic Mark?

A nice reply from Mel at the hotel:


Thank you for your email and interest. We would love to have the east dulwich forum on board, and of course the local community of East dulwich. We have already had some bookings from a couple who are getting married from east dulwich who are actually spending their wedding night with us. We have offered them and their guests a 5 percent discount. We would be happy to offer this discount to the east dulwich forum. I hope that is acceptable. We have tried to price ourselves as competitively as possible in the boutique hotel market. We also dont have any stealth taxes as our prices are inc vat and includes organic breakfast which received 10/10 from the times. We also want to promote the art scene in the area which we beleive makes the area so unique and have already got exhibitions planned. I like to think of Camberwell as our version of Venice Beach or down town LA. Thats kinda where our inspiration came from Spanish Americana. Also if there are any artists on your site who would like to meet it would be a pleasure, we have alot of hanging space. Also please let the forum know if they need to view the hotel we would be more than happy to show people around. Thankyou for the invite to the blog.


Kind Regards

So if people need somewhere to stay in the area they should give the hotel a try (and let us know what it's like)

If you're an artist and would like to show your work, drop them a line

If you're just nosey and want to have a look at the place, mention the forum and they'll show you around

How excellent does this place and the owners sound?



I live 10 minutes away and I'm tempted to book


Thanks Mark for digging and thanks hari for bringing it up. I had read the article when it was published but had put it to back of my mind..

      Dancersize or other middle aged womens' exercise groups

      Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors.

      Aroma Lab

      I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!

      Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter.

      Franklins is being sold

      By Sue · Posted

      So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
