... 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..

      Gail's Development of the Brick House - planning permission?

      By Brian up the hill · Posted

      Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent.,

      Cat Flap

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x

      Charisma gymnastics - dates & costs

      By TreacleRabbit · Posted

      Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks

      Excellent electrician - Paul Edgley

      By TorW · Posted

      ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
