Planet of the Grapes wine bar and shop is open as of a few days ago. Its in the premises behind Bon on Frogley Street, formally occupied by Forest. Good luck to them. https://www.instagram.com/p/C_i0z6UoK-P/

Good news - its currently being refurbished and due to reopen on 20th September 2024 under new ownership. The same owners as The White Horse and The Montpelier in Peckham.

Hi all, With 2024 General Election fast approaching, I thought it would be useful to have a poll to measure local support for each party. For simplicity, only the parties standing in the Lewisham West and East Dulwich consistency are listed as options. This is a new constituency for 2024 and covers East Dulwich, Honor Oak, Forest Hill, Sydenham and some parts of Nunhead. You can check which constituency you live in using this page. I would appreciate if only Lewisham West and East Dulwich residents cast their vote in this (although obviously there is no way of us verifying this!). This is an anonymous poll and your forum username will not be recorded against your vote. Click here to find our more information about each candidate running for election in Lewisham West and East Dulwich. Here are the current active topics on EDF where the 2024 Election is being discussed. Feel free to share your opinions here.

Some new places opening soon on Rye Lane: Cafe Britaly - a 'British Italian' cafe opening next week (8th May). Its situated near the south of Rye Lane, near Four Quarters in the venue which was formally Taco Queen and Supa Ya Ramen. https://cafebritaly.com/ There appears to be a Vietnamese cafe under works a few doors along next to Woodfall Opticians, according to a sign in the window, however I couldn't find an opening date or any info about it online

As mentioned above there is a discussion from a few years ago here: Any new feedback from current half-house owners is welcome.

There have been various plans to develop the site with a mixed retail and residential development. It was last discussed on this forum back in April 2022 here: There doesn't seem to have been much progress since then. The planning application is available for viewing here: https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=R7P7HJKBLY200

@Jasper_98 the housing development to the east of East Dulwich Railway Station was discussed a few months ago here: You can check out the diagrams for the new development on Southwark's planning portal. FYI there is a separate larger development planned to the east side of the station (not the west side of the station which St Francis Road sits)

Admin note - in order to make it easier to read, the long running "New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham" topic has been split. The old topic with posts made prior to 2024 can be found here. There is a new Malaysian restaurant called Janda Diner opening this week on 8th February. Next to the White Horse pub at the bottom of Rye Lane: https://www.jandalondon.uk/. Prior to the new year, they were serving food from the Man of Kent pub nearby in Nunhead, with apparently very good reviews. I'm sure they will cover most of East Dulwich for delivery once they are up and running.

Hi @Cheese Board Covered in the FAQ page: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/faq/ In the For Sale section, there is an "End Listing" button near the top of the page, just above your post.

It got incorrectly detected as a spam post. It's now back.

Mexican Mama, a Mexican grocery shop, have just opened a new shop at the top of the Peckham Rye at the end of Nigel Road. They were formally (and maybe, still are?) located in the nearby business estates on Philip Walk.

Hi @Penguin68 , its fine to post technical issues in the Lounge, or use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page. We've have numerous spammers attempting to register on the site using VPNs lately. Furthermore, yesterday we had a suspicious user use a VPN to register and send private messages to other people who had posted in the 'Wanted' section of the forum asking for Paypal payments (obviously a scammer). As a consequence, yesterday evening I blocked some VPN services from accessing the website. However, I am still figuring out the most appropriate way to block malicious activity like this and I certainly don't want to block legitimate forum members like yourself who have other reasons to use VPNs. I have just now tweaked the firewall rules so your VPN service may be allowed again. Could you let me know if that's the case?

@Jamesh31 thanks for reporting this. Definitely looks suspicious so they have been removed.

Wines from Georgia (the country) I believe. And maybe some other delicacies.
