Tell me about East Dulwich

[Nixon]

Im going to try not to slate the people and only talk about the alright shops and that..

North Cross Road like everyone's said is pretty cool,particularly the market and the kick arse fruit shop.Le Chardon is a very nice French resteraunt for lunch and dinners out.There's a cool little record shop opened up underneath/next to that Palmerston pub,which sometimes has little gigs on and sells vinyl.Also the charity shops are pretty good,if you get there early before the yuppies get there..also the bakers on lordship lane does really nice roast pork and apple baps..The sea cow do ace fish and chips,but a bit more expensive than bog standard.worth it for the quality though.

Never eaten at a good Indian down that way,so would be curious to know if there are any urb recommendations

I lived in ED for a while and the worst thing about it was living on somewhere called Dog Kennel Hill. Oh, and almost being murdered

My favourite curry house is in ED but I've forgotten it's bloody name. Ends in Spice, I'm pretty sure.

EDIT: Might be Spice Republic.

Tandoori Nights or The Coriander.

This morning there was a VERY large grey bird in the garden, standing on top of the hedge.
It was a Heron
It was eating the guy next doors fish from his little pond
He said he was thinking of filling it in but he didn't know what to do with the fish
I doubt he has that problem any more

How you getting on round these parts then Foggy?

It's a bit up its own arse and overpriced. However, I'd rather it in its current incarnation than more of the same on offer in Peckham.

As for the recommendation for an Indian food place, Ganpati's got to be the best for indian food in the ED area. The others are bog standard without exception.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! East Dulwich is the best place. And Tandoori Nights is very nice and been in the Times and that, init.

Up it's own arse, indeed.

I can see what you're saying. even though I live in east dulwich, I rarely venture down lordship lane, but it's nice for a change when you feel like being a bit up your own arse peckham's more functional for my needs.

Thai Corner Cafe on North Cross Road is lovely (and BYO);

I can recommend this too, but book ahead if you can, cos it's tiny and popular.

Also on North Cross Lane is a lovely old school sweetshop - Hope and Greenwood(?). Has big jars of sweets sold by weight and lots of other stuff. I regress to childhood when i walk through its doors.

The only pub i know is the CPT, which is alright.

somebody posted on here the other day how 6 pieces of fudge cost a fiver at hope and greenwood see, up it's own arse

It's, um, really good fudge. And Giles Coren has been in there and that has to be worth at least a few quid.

Thai Corner is lush, yes.

we have a 24 hour Sainsbury's. also lots of wanky organic food and ethical cookware/mother & baby shops. three pretty good cocktail bars, several pubs and even more curry houses. from a student perspective, Mr Liu is the best Chinese here, Kebab & Wine is the best kebab shop, and Maxim near the station is the best £2 chicken shop, really.

Ah, the kebab drinking den. Have you been there? First time I did, I was drunk and imagined it to be a really extravagent speakeasy sort of thing all glamour and gold. I sold it to poor Spangle on this basis. When we went there, imagine my (not to mention hers) surprise to find it plastic garden tables, plastic glasses and people vomiting and fighting.

When I went in there, James Nesbitt was there with his kids.

I really like living there, but it's so far up its own arse it may soon collapse in upon itself, forming some sort of organic, hand-crafted black hole

Best place for Sunday lunch (imo) is the White Horse which is just at the top of Rye Lane, on the right - I know not quite ED but certainly worth a visit! Huge plates of Sunday roast all for £6/7 squid. No veg options though...

 

[RubyToogood]

The poshness of ED has always been a bit of a mystery to me since it's not really very near any parks, has rubbbish transport links and is totally unpicturesque.

I occasionally go there if I feel like looking at gift shops.

Oh and it has a folk club which happens either at the football club or at Hooper's Bar which I quite liked when I went there.

Hoopers it run by friends of an urbanite.
