It's the best area in East Dulwich in my opinion (and I've lived in a few around SE22). I live just off The Gardens and it's a fantastic place. Really quiet and only a few minutes' walk to Lordship Lane and a stone's throw from the common and park. ED and Peckham Rye stations are equidistant, which is really useful, since the latter has connections to Blackfriars and Victoria, as well as London Bridge. Clockhouse is fab. The Sunday Roast is excellent too. It was refurbished not that long ago and has a lot going on there.

It's wasn't the annoying woman from the last series of The Apprentice was it!? Oh and a,b,c deleted.

Agree with Giraffe. Rubbish everything.

Well I'd offer a joint one, but the little 2 bed house is already going to be crammed full! I'm thinking of booking a place in town for later though - I'd imagine there will be a lot of people descending upon Liquorish at around 11pm!!!

I'm certainly not ani-chain, but I don't want all the same old restaurants that exist everywhere else. An Islington of the South is not wanted thanks!

A worrying number of people on here wishing for chain restaurants. What is our obsession with the 'the known'!? Personally, I like a little variety, especially when it comes to food. London would be a sad place if there was only one restaurant chain per regional food type!

Well I'm planning on having a massive one for my 30th, but at my girlfriend's place in ED, not mine! She's the one with the big garden. So, if you hear a lot of noise on 16th August, I'll probably be me!!!!

Let's hope it doesn't turn out to be Don't Venture

Or a Positive Venture for the owners?

+VENTURE: Plus Venture. I don't geddit'

I negotiated 0.75 for an exclusive deal.

Co-op it is!

Chi - great place. After 6 years of working on Fleet Street, I do miss that place! Next time I'm at VE I'll be there Sean ;)

Never never never give these people money. If everyone sticks to this principle, they will have to move somewhere else. I know this seems harsh, but I'd rather give to the charities that deal with homeless people who are better judged to help the right people that I am.

Then I'm clearly in the wrong job...

Ping-pong... no! A waiter once told me that everything is microwaved. I'll definitely never go back for the food, although I do like the bar. I'm still waiting for a decent Italian. I feel let down by Locale, although I'm going to give it another try to account for bedding-in.

Bob, I doubt it took him long to be fair. As for a lunchtime date, I'm sure his 'dickswinging' antics wouldn't suit a man with your busy schedule.

If the full url wasn't shown (posted as a link) then I guess it wouldn't have been such a giveaway. Someone did this to me and managed to make up a fake BBC news webpage, with my pic embedded in it (dynamic, like this - taking the pic also from facebook). Now that was clever, and caught me out for a while! The headline was "Person wanted for questioning".

It really isn't that clever. It just runs a php script (see the 'badge.php' in the url) that runs on the facebook servers, telling it to return the profile picture of the person logged in.

During my 5 years of living in East Dulwich, I've never so much as even witnessed a public argument, let alone fight or anything more sinister. And this includes 4 years of commuting back into Peckham Rye Station, often quite late in the evening. East Dulwich is a great area. Unlike a recent thread talking about a couple that moved back into central, I did the very opposite after living 2 years in the heart of Chelsea. I've no regrets at all and have no plans to move back whatsoever. You'll love it here.

With boxing gloves to boot?

I've done a lot of research on mortgages recently. HSBC (who do not offer any mortgages through a broker) still have some relatively competitive products (for example, a 1% LT BoE tracker) and just offered me a 4.6x salary mortgage with 80% LTV. If you're looking to move up the ladder, I think it's worth looking and putting in some 'silly' offers. > 10% down on a ?250k flat = -?25k > 10% down on a ?500 house = -?50k >> So, you're up ?25k net. But your risk exposure is higher. Personally, I'm still waiting for the crest of the slump although I think houses on my street are already down ~15% from last year. East Dulwich prices shot up a lot more that other areas in London over the past few years, so we have to expect a bigger fall too.

Helicopters over London rather than military jets? Probably a little more inconspicuous, although granted - most people could identify an Apache. Secondly (and probably more importantly), the ability to hover in terms of being able to get better images of anything 'unidentified' and then being able to land almost anywhere. UFO's should not infer Aliens. It's a much misinterpreted term. Any flying object in the sky is a UFO unless YOU are able to name it. christian952 - Where are all your other videos?

A case of less is more re: Google, since '"adventure bar" dulwich OR lordship' didn't do it.
