Ah yes...the annual "what shall we do at New Year?" thread. This met with a muted response last time given so many here are fairly apathetic preferring to watch Jools Holland with a warm tin of stella than pay 30 quid to get into their local.


I take the opposite view - another year of life in this wonderful world is well worth celebrating. And paying a small amount to cover double time bar staff , extra entertainment and a free drink doesn't usually put me off.


Last year The Rye and the Sun and Doves (Camberwell borders) were tipped. I did the Rye (2nd time after a glorious one in 2005) and it was a good bash - complete with stripping barmaid (unforgettable).


An ED establishment has still to prove itself as THE place to go for New Year like other parts of London I know and the fact that you have had no response to your post yet suggests more apathy this year.


So come on - who's organising a decent bash?

I cant remember the stripped Barmaid either, but I do remember the flashing Scotsman ... Oh NOW I remember, but it was a quick hoist up of the blouse than a strip.


The Rye was the first New Years Pub do that I have been to that wasnt a disapointment - a great evening.

For the past 3 or 4 years I have headed down to The Bishop for NYE. Its usually ?10 / ticket, get them in advance, and a good laugh! They clear out all the middle tables to create a dance floor, there is a DJ, confetti/streamers/bangers etc at midnight and generally a great ED feel....best of all Food and Wine stay open and are almost next door!

Thanks for your kind words *Anna*, message me privately with your details and you get yourself a free ticket for NYE at The Bishop.

This year will be the same ?10, same DJ, dancing on the bar but no confetti, streamers or bangers (as after four years we have decided to make life a little easier for the cleaner New Year's Day) HOWEVER there will be lasers, disco ball & a smoke machine. The aim is to make the evening the complete opposite of the millenium anti-climax, 10 long years ago...

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
