It is under refurbishment from yesterday until sometime in March. Announced on their Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/p/DFps9vGoNHh/

There was recently a discussion regarding estate agent recommendations here:

Admin note - This is the yearly discussion thread for new shops coming to East Dulwich and nearby. You can find the links to the previous years below: 2024 edition 2023 and earlier edition To start us off, there is a new Deli called Chili & Garlic opening up next to Gails on Zenoria St. Website: https://www.chilliandgarlic.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chilliandgarlicdeli? There is a menu on the website and it appears to sell wraps, bowls and fruit juices. The opening is not yet announced, but probably soon.

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.

A new Georgian wine shop called 80-20 Wines has just opened at the north end of Peckham Rye, next to Old Spike Roastery. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cz7XSrZIqsp/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Hi Sue, Its best to use the Contact Us link which you can find at the bottom of the website to ask me questions - that way it goes to my inbox. To answer your question, there is a button at the top of the text editor for making a link. Press that and you'll see a popup. Just type the link URL in both of the fields in the popup (e.g. www.wegottickets.com/thegooseisout) and it will work

To clarify: For simplicity, its intended this forum board is for any debate or issue related to transport or roads. East Dulwich, Southwark, London-wide or even country wide. There will be no lounging unless the topic has absolutely nothing to do with these subjects. However, as usual, please respect standard forum etiquette. Keep on topic as much as possible. If someone makes a post about a specific local issue, please avoid replies which derail into a wider debate. Please start your own topic if you want to change the conversation. Please be respectful when debating. Be mindful that other people may have a difference of opinion to yourself. Especially important in this forum board, as historically many of the topics here (LTNs, CPZs, ULEZ, cyclists vs drivers) provoke strong debate. I have added this message to the top of this forum board for all to see (click the orange 'Rules for Roads & Transports' button at the top). At the moment I don't see the volume of new topics being created on this board to be high enough that local issues on this board are drowned out by the more general debate focused topics. Having every single transport related discussion here is a much simpler concept for new members to understand and avoids me having to make an arbitrary decision if or when every topic in here gets lounged.

Hi, If you want to ask about a local shop which does this, you can ask in General ED Issues / Gossip If its general advise (not related to East Dulwich), then The Lounge

Hi, I have added a filter to prevent ads from pet sales. So hopefully this one will no longer show up. Please report back if not.
