... South Indian food....where can I get a masala dosa, idli with sambar and chutney or vada for breakfast even.. around here???


And it also needs a good cake-decorating shop...do I really have to go up to town to get edible gold sprinkles and Christmas themed decorations for my amateur baking attempts a la Nigella...... ;-)

I agree..a picturehouse/cinema or everyman cinema. also faster transport links to central London even faster direct route to elephant, london bridge or victoria would be great -bus takes too long to get anywhere! an M&S would be great(nearest is in Brixton..no original ideas then. overall the area is self sufficient really.

No you don't. It's no ED, but there's a great place on the outskirts of bromley. http://www.cakecraftshop.co.uk/shop/2/

Thought you might like to know. :)

Totally agree with the idea of a picturehouse cinema to watch a good selection of films with a glass of wine (prefer to compare to the Ritzy though - merely for avoidance of the C word)


We do well for restaurants, but a modern chinese (i.e. one which doesn't just serve the same menu as every other chinese restaurant in the country! Sorry Mr Liu) with dim sum would be nice! An Italian would be good as well (El Mirto doesn't count on account of having the atmosphere of a truck stop cafe).

A decent bakery? You mean like the East Dulwich Deli or Luca's or Blackbird (x2) or Ayers in Nunhead or the Flower Power at Peckham Rye farmers market?


And a library - like the one in Peckham....? Or Dulwich Library? Or the small one on Grove Lane?


There's a haberdasher's on North Cross Road on Saturday's and more fabric shops than you could want on both the Lane and Rye Lane.


Oi oi oi.

You tell him. I agree. What a bizarre list of requests. He/she must walk around with their eyes shut.

Apparently one of the chemists on LL will be closing down and moving near to melbourne practice, apparently i say.


Also, freshly available is the unit in front of the vintage shop on NX rd, opposite to the Blue Mountain. It's available as one whole unit or 3 smaller units.


I wonder what would work there..

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.  
    • BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle. 
    • I have been training at the hub for just over one year. I really enjoy the variety of training offered and the quality of the instructors. Very effective group classes and enjoyable in the open air! A very welcoming place which makes a fitmess journey pleasant!  
    • We're are just about to get ready for sale, a 2 bed flat, very close to Peckham Rye park.  It has been rented out for sometime, so is in need of some TLC for it to look its best, before it goes on the market.  Would be interested to know others thoughts on whether its best to just have the place painted completely white throughout, probably with new grey flooring, or if it might be more appealing to add some colour/interest (nothing too drastic), perhaps something alittle 'warmer', with some nice (potentially dark) feature walls maybe? Wondered whether the days of going completely white might now have passed ..... It might be useful to know that its not a period or conversion property, but rather a flat in a private purpose built block.
