What does East Dulwich lack?

[SCSB79]

Why the cry for a B&B - how many on here would actually use it?

[wee quinnie]

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.

Lots of visitors from the old alma mater / Hampshire where we used to live.

[PeckhamRose]

So, a River, a B&B, and a sex shop. Not a nasty cheap one, a nicer Agent Provocateur type one.

There is a 'river'..the Peck

[DrDom]

an alps style stair lift up Lordship lane. with a dry ski slope to go back down.

[KidKruger]

ComputedShorty i can trim your zim asssuming it's fairly straightforward and no-one is already lined-up to do it.

[sandnot]

Lebanese resturant

A decent craft/art shop

sport shop

[SJK]

How about a decent pharmacy that sells skin care products and make up?

And yes, I am still petitioning for a Waitrose!

[thebestnameshavegone]

A Waitrose would attract some right nause-bags, and for that reason I'm out.

Self-awareness?

[????]

Eh? Do we? ...What's that then?

[thebestnameshavegone]

Decent birth-control supplies?

[Mellors]

Definitely a lovely, trendy craft shop that sells wool, fabric, embroidery threads and the like, and that runs classes and workshops so we can all learn how to sew (or make) our own. With cake.

[Keef]

Doubt it would lst if I'm honest, but I'd love a guitar shop, selling strings, picks, leads, and stuff, as well as guitars obviously. Oh, and a good collection of song books.

Oh, and a bar on Lordship Lane, that isn't fecking horrific at the weekends!!!!

Hope and Greenwood

[Miss Tipsy Topple]

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

[????]

er, it's precisely because we don't have the tube that we have a decentish community, less transcience and less rowdy colonials. Tube's a massivley overated 'thing' to have

That's because they all live in Nunhead and Brockley (true)

[simonethebeaver]

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.

physio4me......

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
