What does East Dulwich lack?

[BeccaL]

Another vote for somewhere selling CDs and DVDs

[????]

A few decent posh resturants wouldn't go a miss - eg an italian (I know Il Muerto's good but I'm talking propa posh)

Sean - I was joining in kind-of. A nice Greggs would be nice though. Soup and sausage roll = ?1.49. Where's that kind of value in the super-classy ED these days I ask myself ... And whatever happened to that Job Centre that used to be on LL?

Re the B&B - can't quite fathom why there are so many hotels and B&Bs up in Crystal Palace and none down here. Why did Shepherd's on Marmora Road close down? I guess it was before its time or too far away from LL or something.

Don't get the desire for a record shop, despite so many pleas for one. I suppose I just buy my "Now 234" in Sainsbury's once a year and iTune any random songs I fancy. It's that male vinyl-collecting thing I guess.

Si Mangia is a nice Italian!

[Clarest]

An extra pedestrian crossing - south of the Goose Green round-about and north of the lights at Iceland!

A tube station - hooked up to the underground

[Otto]

something eclectic that serves coffee, fresh juices & beer, has magazines, wifi, good music cd's...and some light snacks. maybe mixed in with some vintage bric-a-brac/furniture stuff. not a mummy/child place. (even though I am a mum).

or - on the simple side - a good mexican, korean or cuban restaurant.

an office/art supplies place will also be needed shortly. maybe that also does not have to be so dull and can be a weird hybrid of interesting stuff...

Agree with what other have said.

A decent B&B.

An independant Cinema.

A decent Vietnamese Restaurant ( much supported on an old thread).

A clothes shop that sold the basics; White/grey socks vests etc for school children. Reasonable quality tights for women working or otherwise. Same for men in socks , white shirts , underpants etc. A bit Primark but very convenient.

CINEMA

GOOD SWIMMING POOL

HABERDASHERS

Merryfields is a shoe maker/mender near ED train station - very good in my experience. (They even do handmade shoes if you have far too much money or if machine made shoes are not good enough for you.)

I believe Southwark Council already run these, maybe they would do one in ED on request?

[scoop]

A really excellent stationers,come book shop please!

[Carrot]

Without doubt a decent gym. When I moved in I was astounded that a place this size did not have a proper gym. The physio gym is seriously overpriced and poorly equiped, Fusion is okay but a bit grotty.

I also vote for a Vietnamese restaurant or perhaps Sri Lankan.

I also agree an cinema for example like the Electric in Hampstead would be fab especially one you could bring a glass of wine.

[Sue]

The Ritzy's not that far away, and you can take wine in, though I agree it would be even better if you didn't have to get a bus back :)

[Nero]

A Waitrozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[chrisz]

Starburger, and a disused shop front with a shady fellow selling phone cards.

[Narnia]

Buskers and Grafton Street

[????]

are there any crackhouses left?

Real People....

0/10......STOP COPYING OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK

[Loz]

We could do with a couple more estate agents, a few more bookies and some more uninspiring curry houses.

[woofmarkthedog]

A decent "Mens" clothes shop, not an ED mens bit in a bl**dy daft annoying gift shop "You look nice in that dear" silly stuff that marks you out as some prat whose wife chooses or helps with clothes,in the sale or the new born baby puke will wash of ok, just not good enough .

You know a shop that sells "The clothes you really want to buy" the ones you stalk for a few weeks, go in and touch pretending you are just "Looking" at clothes, then go home and fantasize about crotch rivets, selve edges, real indigo dye and stuff like men/boys do, can we have one of those please ?

I'd like that

W**F

[Eileen]

a good quality vegetarian resturant

[woofmarkthedog]

Oh yes , a vultures nest

We don't have that or a maggot farm, do we ?

Seriously we are fairly well off here, lets not get too spoilt. We'd never leave the manor.

Hi,

East Dulwich needs a shop that sells real Scrumpy, Lardy Cake and Fella's Ice cream.

Kind regards,

Libra Carr.
