Dulwich...dead posh innit!!!

[DRINK?]

As for the "loviest" barmaid.... I suspect I know who you mean ... shes now the manager at the Rye Hotel!!!!!!!!!
The Centre of the Wandsworth Diaspora and only a short stagger accross the Rye from the Gardens - where all the as yet no-breeding specimins seem to live

Is she? what happened to the chaps who ran it? they were dead on, I dunno I like the way they ran the place with the tenty thing out the back, the campest quiz master ever etc etc....stilldrinking with the landlord of P2 soon enough so may go down and check it out....


that is the best pub in the area anyhow

 

[hipipol]

haven't a clue about what goes on that the rye, other than she moved there - suspect she is just as I said, the manager, not the owner/lessee

Anyone remember the name of the little tea shop at the park end of Carlton road.

Recommended for tea and lovely cakes before/after a stroll around the park.

Do you mean the chocolate shop next to the bookshop on Calton Avenue?

 

[kyser_soze]

Yup, serves teas and cakes as well. Yummy tea and cake in fact

 

[secretlondon]

the blue mountain and the thai corner cafe have been there for years - at least 10. North Cross Road and Lordship lane used to be a lot scruffier though. I went there for the first time in years last week, and it was all a bit overwhelming.

They used to look worried and hold onto their bags when I walked there. You could see their beloved house prices dropping by the second..

 

[secretlondon]

I dislike this place. its a bit like being in east london with a west london dresscode full of north london attitude situated in south london...

Middle class wankers, in other words.

Margaret Thatcher had a house in Dulwich Village....

On the same gated-development as Samantha Fox. It's the only time I can be accused of being a peeping Tom.

While Dulwich is terribly posh, it also held the priviliged status of running one of the worst schools in the country - Kingsdale Comprehensive, right next door to Dulwich College.

When Steve Morrison became head at Kingsdale school in south London nine years ago the school had one of the worst inspection reports Chris Woodhead, then chief inspector of schools, had ever seen. “Most of the time the kids didn’t turn up and when they did they spent their time messing around,” Woodhead recalls.

Hello citydreams, I think I was riding my bike into work at the same time as you yesterday. You went via Elephant though, and I went via The Cut. You were faster, prompting me to consider changing my route.

That's all.

 

[citydreams]

I'd like to say it was me, but I'd be lying. I was sat on a tube reading a book on discrete mathematics.

Either you're going too fast or you need glasses. Haven't you confused Sigmund a number of times too.

I have indeed.. looked well like you! I did wonder why you'd ride along CHL to Brixton High St, actually. Ah well.

Hmm, Mr Secrets o Lundinium

You seem to have what our Yankee friends call "Issues" with a lot of what you see in this part of town.
Perhaps it best to avoid the area

Methinks that he also has a vastly inflated sense of his menace...

Aye, fear hes got a touch of the Richard about him
"And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover,
To entertain these fair well-spoken days,
I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days."
As he casts his fearful shadow on the laies who lunch perhaps he sees himself thus
"And that so lamely and unfashionable
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them"

Suspect hes prob justa lad with scowl, spots and somewhat shite haircut

Some "esoteric" choons blaring out though - sometimes a bit loud

Compared to the Estate agent city wage slave packed hell of the wine bars & gastro pubs of Lordship lane, I know where I would sooner be for a beer.

Well I can't afford anything round there anyway.

I maintain that it's the stuck up locals who have the "issues" anyway, and that's it's easily the worst place I've ever lived.

No I just had the misfortune to live (briefly) in one of the small amounts of social housing in the area.

I'm a girl wanyway - but I'm sure my haircut wasn't expensive enough for East Duliwich tastes.

 

[George & Bill]

went there this morning for the first time, went to the horniman museum

the horniman museum is not in dulwich - east, west, north or south, but in forest hill.

sorry if someone has already said this.

 

[aylee]

went there this morning for the first time, went to the horniman museum which was pretty good (and free) and had lunch at some place , piaf, I think it was called, in the village, it's a different world,(particularly if you live in hackney ) a village, wooden panelled houses, little cottages, mansions, posh shops selling posh frocks...

any urbanites minted enough to actually live in this twee place?

I lived half-way between Tulse Hill and the Village, on the South Circular, for five years until last October. I also lived in East Dulwich for a couple of years a while ago.

I miss it.

 

[T & P]

Lordship Lane has the best deli on the planet. Worth going the area just to visit it.
