I don't think it is, it's overpriced and there isn't that much choice - too much chocolate imo.
Must check that out one Sunday

It is expensive, but it's a special occasion sweetshop, not an everyday one. There's a huge amount of choice - I still haven't even tried half the sweets in jars yet.
Hoopers it run by friends of an urbanite.
Hoopers... the only bar I know of in that LOndon that has a beer list
Anywhere that has Thurn & Taxis on the list is always going to be a winner for me.
Proper Bottles of Kolsch as well
Sadly, the advertised Oktoberfest beers & Dunkel beers didnt turn up - then again, they are so prized by the Bavarians, its not surprisng

Hell yes!
Hell yes, too.
I have been suggesting this since the place opened, but didn't want the responsibility of organising a meet when I don't actually live nearby....
So, happy to go along to someone else's organised meet

Any decent ciders there?
Well, there's East Dulwich, and then there's East Dulwich...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
I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned East Dulwich Forum: www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk
Is that shop that used to sell airguns, knives and Nazi memorabilia next to the (old?) police station still there?

Hoopers is a pub full of good intentions, but so far off the beaten track (and yet the nearest pub to me). I hope it survives, they serve booze, superbly. No cider, AFAIK.
I'd hate to think the EDF is representative of everyone in SE22. Good for a laugh though, in the manner of the Daily Telegraph letters page.
The armourer is still knocking out replica Bren guns, tin hats and jack boots, being squeezed in by bakeries and the most chi-chi greengrocers you're ever likely to find.
I'm wondering if ED is recession-proof

Hoopers aint in East Dulwich!!
Its a Camberwell Bar
Only those recently arrived in this fair and unspoiled realm would call it East Dulwich
Either that or an employee of Foxtons
Bellenden Road, fo example is in Peckham, despite the sliming of the ED zone towards it (Its worth pointing out the ED railway station was originally called Champion Hill)
Dulwich Hamlet FC also gives its address as Dog Kennel Hill, NOT ED anything
http://www.dulwichhamletfc.co.uk/ground.php
Its postcode is SE22
Hoopers is SE5, ie Camberwell
The Wishing Well on Bellenden Road, SE15, NOT EDs SE22
Is The George Canning now victim to EDs constant landgrab????

I see what you're saying, and postcode wise you're right. But it's quite rasonable to call somewhere east Dulwich if it's 5 ins walk from East Dulwich Station.Hoopers aint in East Dulwich!!

The EDF is full of twats. It makes me get all full of hate and fury.
It isn't recession-proof in that I just bought a flat for loads less than the asking price.
James Nesbitt is always everywhere. I went into Page 2 once and my friend was muttering some story about Nesbitt. I didn't realise why he was telling it and repeated loudly 'what?? your ex got off with James Nesbitt at a petrol station?!' realising too late that he was sitting there, with wife, in the empty, quiet bar.

Which is why I put the Canning on the post mate
Its the same diatnce from the Station (tho I admit, nuch closer to Demnmark Hill station)
I know. I went to it once or twice as The Village Idiot (as the Page 2 owner called it) but never as The Duke. And never will - too many shameful memories.
Page 2 was the greatest place ever.

It's such a grey area, like one of those bits on Google maps that hasn't been photographed.
NO. The rest of Nunhead is frightening. Man of Kent especially and also the Pyrotechnic. Sheesh!

My friend lives opposite that pub, and I'd say she lives in East Dulwich.

The website of the pub says it's East Dulwich too.

Looking at google maps, Hooper's is nearer Goose Green than it is Camberwell Green. And the original reason I dragged it into this thread was that it is sometimes the home of the East Dulwich folk club (http://www.thegooseisout.com/) and they obviously think Hooper's is in East Dulwich as I had a long conversation with them about how they weren't willing to move out of East Dulwich when they left the EDT. (I say folk club... they're not really a club as such, they just put on gigs.)
Anyway what I liked about Hooper's was that they seemed to be trying to do new stuff and breathe life into the place without getting rid of all the old regulars. It felt very welcoming.

well they would, wouldn't they?
They are a bit further from the canning than I thought, but they're SE5 - that's Camberwell

Maybe they've an ex estate agent as a manager.
