I agree about the craft shoppy workshop fabric place. I asked the owner of this place http://www.themakelounge.com/ to open a branch here but she wasn't v interested. Imagine a Make Lounge in the old Job Centre premises. Or in the Foxtons premises for that matter

Dalston / Stoke Newington / Brixton / Peckham / Whitechapel for starters?


Less hand-wringing.

You heard of this place: http://www.ohsewbrixton.co.uk/index.htm


Sounds fab.

I'd love a proper New York style "deli" serving cracking American style breakfasts, including eggs 'over easy', waffles and pancakes, along with fresh OJ and good coffee. Needs to be have bustling kind of vibe with good tunes, clanging plates, and general busy-ness. It would need to be staffed with proper hospitality professionals who are super-efficient, even if a little gruff sometimes. Would need a long bar where you can watch them prepare drinks while you have your coffee (alone and child-free) and read the paper. At lunchtime they would do oversized sandwiches with pastrami, onions on sourdough, maybe with a touch of mayo.


I have spent some time thinking about this.

Now THAT is something I would get excited about!


Ahhhhhh, a proper gleaming short stack with maple syrup for breakfast. For lunch, corned beef on rye with mustard and saurcraut, a giant dill and garlic pickle on the side. A big frosty glass of iced tea...... oh what the hell make it a Long Island iced tea.......


Keep talkin' quickbrownfox!

    • Not with all the bins currently stored there.
    • We both own the freehold. They’re in the maisonette and I’m in the flat. They’re older, so with any luck, they’ll be selling soon. Unfortunately, due to recent events, all of this now has to be disclosed on the TA6 form. Honestly, I’d move out of sheer shame if I were them. Poisoning fruit trees planted for children is just cruel, and they haven’t even apologised. I genuinely wonder how they justify this to themselves. Envy is such a toxic and destructive emotion, and sadly, it often explains behaviour like this. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the support from so many of you, especially at the East Dulwich Forum drinks and for the kind messages on both this forum and the Nextdoor app. It’s genuinely reassuring to know there are still decent, supportive neighbours around.
    • Hmm, you seem to have an agenda.  I like ait of measured that they have done to promote active travel, improving pedestrian and cyclist safety, whilst improving the streetscape. I avoid making sweeping statements about wildlife management as I don't know enough about their policies, and expect some in Southwark are passionate about what they do. Go along to a relevant local meeting and ask, I doubt if you will change a thing by posting here.  
    • It wouldn't surprise me at all.   The council used to spray the pavements all the time b4 lockdown.  They are probably doing it again.
