Regarding a vegetarian restaurant - I used to always think that as well. I'd love that but I'd settle for any of the existing establishments (esp the gastropubs/Franklins/Palmerstons) giving less hackneyed veggie options. I am seriously bored with a) veggie risotto, b) anything with goats cheese and c) penne anything.

The only things I miss from where I used to live before are:

The river

A tube station

A good independent family run Spanish Tapas restaurant/bar

M&S and Waitrose

What ED has over that is character and a good community spirit, not too many rowdy aussies & kiwis.


From a convert from SW to SE

There's an adventure playground next to Sainsburys on Dog Kennel Hill - annoyingly not open on Sundays, or at random times in the winter.


Turkish bread can be bought from the Turkish supermarket on Forest Hill Road, near the Forest Hill Tavern - also a big variety of baklava.


There's a music/instrument shop near Northcross Road - carry on up to Crystal Palace Road (I'm very bad on road names - is it Underhill by then?) and it's on the right. I've never used it but it is likely to have picks etc. and sheet music.

i totally second mellors suggestion, we need a tready shop to help me with my arts and craft hobby. The shop near tesco metro is helpful for making cards but we do need something with fabrics, beads and laces which doesnt cost loads. i popped into the fabric shop by the trainstation and they were charging ?100 per sq meter!!!


maybe we should setup our own craft workshops, ive got a room on lordship lane

    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
