Soon moving to East Dulwich, what's there for a new commer? Locals best

The transport links depend on which part you move to. You could be closer to North Dulwich, Peckham Rye or ED Station and/or the 12/40/185/176 bus. Best to wait and see what street/area you move to.

The Saturday Market on Northcross Rd is worth checking out, as well as ED warehouse round the corner from Cafe Nero. Try Blue Mountain or Luca's for coffee. If you're here later on, Chandelier serves great tea or Jacks on Pellatt has fine cakes. Or stay late and have dinner in Franklins or The Palmerston.

Liquorish, liquorish, liquorish-why does no one ever mention it-or are we trying to keep the best bar in ED a secret?!

[liquorish team]

Thank you for saying so....

Maybe nobody else thinks it's the best bar in ED :))

Because it's not in any way good, it's a grey looking room that serves alcohol at the wrong temperature, and it all smacks of indifference and makes you yearn for the decently kept beer of a Wetherspoons.

So it does.

Yeh you said it better, I was too polite :))

ETA: No atmosphere and the quality of the food has plumetted downhill since the place opened

[Roll Deep]

Liquorish = Coven of the 'metropolitan elite'.

[Sue]

Ah, that explains why I think it's s***e :))

I spent Saturday evening in the lodge with friends, had a meze of hummous and dips, whilst listening to cheesy disco music, it was great. Highly recommended for a Sat eve, if you fancy cheese with your cheese, and a student getting fruity on the dance floor lol:)-D

[HonaloochieB]

Monica, the student, what was her name?

[Sue]

I thoroughly concur with the above on the great coffee (best I have tried..so far) AND yummy ice cream :))

E. Dulwich has a great variety of local shops rather than chain stores..not sure where to start...SMBS, Franklins, William Rose, Boss Man, Balfe's bikes all get my vote so far.

The vintage shops and galleries around Northcross Road are lovely (as well as a fabulous, unadorned, wall!)

You will never be short of choice for (N) Indian cuisine on Lordship Lane. The park is fab. The museum is fab. The forum is fun. Hope you love it here too. xx

[Smiler]

A plug for the lovely library up near the park.

Can all the people who don't like liquorish, please post where they do like so I can slag off the things they enthuse over? that's the first time I've been positive-it was just an experiment-next time someone asks for recommendations of where to go out in ED I will ignore them and go into my usual Charlie Brooker style tirade of where not to go.

P.S Roll Deep-nice to know I've been hanging out with the metropolitan elite-I must remember to tell that to the people who keep mistaking me for a badly paid, working class oik. What reverse snobbery pigeon hole does your local fit into?(no pun intended by the way-I'm assuming your name is because you're a big grime fan not a pigeon fancier)

[Ted Max]

Ignore HonaloochieB, londonloves, he is doomed to a lifetime trawling up and down Lordship Lane tugging on the elbows of DJs younger than his grandchildren, asking them if they've got any Mott on vinyl.

He probably got the brush off at Liquorish, is all. He got banned from the Lucky 7's at the Gowlett on account of playing 7 Mott tracks in a row, and they're beginning to weary a bit at the barn dance classes at Thomas More Hall as well.

For some more funky nightlife and a younger, artier crowd try Bar Story under Peckham Rye station or The Gowlett on Gowlett Road (Peckham/ED borders) or head to Camberwell - The Grand Union on Camberwell Grove, The Sun and Doves on Coldharbour Lane, and the Funky Munky on Peckham Road :o)
