One thing we don't need is more curry houses round here! Why did the chopsticks close, lack of business? I never went in myself, just didnt like the look of the place for some reason, possibly others thought the same?


If I had my way I decent italian pizzaria retaurant would open up there. It still surprises me that there isnt one on LL, a pizza place with 'mama mia' style italian chefs and waiters would coin it for sure.

I hear you - and I agree that a place like that would do really well on the lane. But compared to where we were 3 years ago, the selection of Italians has improved beyond all hope


If Chopsticks became a SOUTH Indian restaurant tho, that would be sufficiently different from all of the Anglo Banglo places currently in place and I wouldn't mind.


If it became a really good chinese I would be even happier. Or the long mooted Vietnamese for that matter


I popped in today to look at the pop up and didn't realise just how nice the garden out the back is

Without doubt a good Vietnamese restaurant would do well, but no doubt it's a huge financial outlay to start a new restaurant.


I remember Chopsticks when it was just a take-away and had been disappointed withn the food more than once so never went back when it became a proper Restaurant.


Let's be honest though, we don't really need another Curry House!

A "curry house"! What a sad, limiting and shallow term to describe what COULD be a treasure trove of culinary delights, which a good Indian restaurant generally is...! Wait for what was chopsticks to reopen and then vote on whether you think it's a "curry house" or something far superior. And no, I'm not one of the owners, neither am i family! Just someone who likes to keep an open mind about things and not prejudge them.

Bit harsh Shaila?? I don't think curry 'house' is a shallow term but a description most people can identify with.... has no bearing on the culinary delights any restaurant offers... there are good/bad all types of eateries.... I would not take offence about a very widely used description of an Indian Restaurant....

Spot on. If it is turned into something like the restaurants around Drummond Street it will be a fantastic addition and very different from anything available at present.

Yes indeed, or even better, something like Ganapati!


If it was even half as good as Ganapati it would still be better than the rest of the Indian restaurants on Lordship Lane ....

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
