Personally, I'm all for a pub which has a kid-free area - and, no, I'm not talking goats. Yeh, yeh - maybe I'm a freak but I do relish the idea of at least some space to enjoy a decent beer without the background wail of other people's offspring.


Yeh, yeh - I confess to double-freakness cause I find the absence of a big screen showing sport a huge plus.

Just seen these posts. What the people behind the renovation of the Wishing Well are not saying publicly is the changes to the licensing hours that they have applied for. The licence application - http://licensing.southwarksites.com/LicPremisesAppliedDetails.asp?systemkey=831545 - includes the extension of opening hours to 1.30am on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and up to half past midnight during the week. Lordship Lane we are not, and don't want to be, and the problem for Bellenden area residents will be the drunken people on our streets in the wee small hours. We have until 30th March to object - go to Licensing Southwark and look for a download on how to lodge an objection.

As a local resident I'm in two minds about this actually. The Gowlett also has late opening hours - and I don't think the local area has suffered as a result. Coming back after a night out, we often quite fancy a nightcap, yet can't face Lordship Lane. It all depends on the kind of atmosphere the pub creates, surely?

I really don't see the Lordship Lane Friday night mentality transferring to Bellenden Road - there just isn't enough footfall and those out on the lash will always prefer a street where they can bar-hop.

    • Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?
    • Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors. 
    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!
