Not sure about pubs bars round here, although the Bishop's got a nice outsidey bit for smokers and the best dog ever
Foodwise, Palmerston is good for a Sunday roast; Thai Corner Cafe on North Cross Road is lovely (and BYO); The Corriander does a nice curry to go... erm that's about all I know. The Cheese shop is dangerous if you like cheese. East Dulwich Deli is stupidly over priced imo.

Wise men say only fools..
East Dulwich is nice North Cross Road market is good. But if you are looking to buy as an investment, too late, it has come & gone. Has anyone been in the militia/gun shop in Lordship Lane..?? Walk in with £500 & you can walk out with a German MG42 should you so wish. Also do Lee Enfield SM MkI's.

When I first moved to this neck of the woods LL had all sorts of interesting relics from bygone times - sadly rather more well heeled types also discovered it and there you a lot of what made it good has gone, but enough survives.
I have lived near Goose Green, by Bellenden Road (which was accepted then as part of Peckham) top end of LL past the Plough towards Forrest Hill, used to wander into Dulwich park for Sunday lunch/brekky at the cafe by the rowing lake, lived in Underhill road and also right next door to the Herne before the various makeovers.
Took yonks to persuade Suzy to even look over this way but now all is well good. Its much more relaxed than Brixton was, when you get home you can actually switch off and wander down the shops in total daze, without having to spot which of the deranged beggars is the worst and choose a skirting path.
Unable to afford the vastely inflated prices we looked over the other side of the Rye and found bliss in Nunhead - well by the resevoir below One Tree Hill - one of the best views in South London - best overheard conversation there was a group of kids sharing a spliff debating the relative merits of each ones chosen degree course and NONE of them were toffs - excellent.
We boast a rather fine butcher or two on Nunhead green which we walk to, up and over the hill with the woods of the old Nunhead cemetry and the alloments on what was once Rye Hill Park - get a very decent steak in the Old Nuns head or walk past the old almshouses to the Rye Hotel, have a pint out front ovelooking the Common, watch the world go by.
Since moving here from Brixton I have bought myself a guitar again - played to some people at the bus stop on the way back from the shop in Forrest Hill, they sang along!!! None of them made any attenpt to rob it!!! Wicked
Aye, a very nice place
As for greenery, have a peek at it on wikimapia.org - its as green as you like round here woodpeckers, blackbirds, bluetits, robin, Dunnock, parakeets, woodpigeons even the sadly reduced house sparrow are here. Cant beat it
PS Tanky, yeah there was a chopper overhead last week, but its the first time since we moved here a year and a half ago

How dare you compare it to Quiksilver and Billabong - they're perfectly acceptable
File White Stuff along with Crew Clothing in the 'clothes for Tories/Cunts' section.

...It was the blurst of times...
It's a good place to live. theres a decent number of bars without it being overkill. the best pub (IMO) is The Castle on Crystal Palace Road (stupidly and dangerously close to my flat) but only because it hasn't been changed from boozer to expensive bar / semi pub venue and also because Guinness is £2.50 a pint.
Saying that, the Black cherry does serve some pretty good cocktails.
The shops - i'll take then or leave them. good for last minute christmas shopping as most of them seem to sell gifty things but really expensive compared to the same type of thing in other London locations.
Restaurants - an abundance of mediocre curry houses, a couple of decent thai places, Franklins - excellent for dinner, pints, lunch and saturday brunch - the bacon sarnies and black pudding on toast are wicked - Palmerston, Gastro pub place with good ales and still good for just a pint or 2
The butchers is good there's a couple of other decent food shops - fishmongers, greengrocers and cheese shop.
the East dulwich Deli can suck my cock. they are a miserable bunch of fuckers and stupidly overpriced. Avoid.

A new group on Facebook:
Group Name:
They are taking over East Dulwich - the 'Babies'
Type:
Entertainment & Arts - General
Description:
Surely there are other "baby friendly" areas in London, so why as soon as a woman / couple are expecting, do they haul ass to East Dulwich? So much so, that the local businesses have begun to cater to the mommy/baby demographic. I went to a Fabric Shop in East Dulwich recently, who specialize in producing individualized baby carriers ... only in East Dulwich will a connection be forged between fabric & babies!

Actually, might as well flounce.
Aaah. Okay. Crouch End, in other words.

No, more Clapham than Crouch End. People in ED would like to think they're young and trendy and cutting edge. People in CE would like to think they're above all that.

Rubbish...at leats in Streatham it's people talking loudly....to the voice in their head
In East Dulwich it's people talking loudly to reassure themselves that they're important.

Heh, my husband used to squat in Lordship Lane about 15 years ago, it wasn't so yummy mummy then! I remember he shared with an ex squaddie who did all his dishes in the communal shower and the landlord had got in and padlocked all the cupboards shut, so the kitchen was a delight. Mind you he moved there from a squat in a tower block in New Cross, so it were luxury.
He moved in with me in not so salubrious Stockwell after that,back in the days before Clapham was posh.
