I have been advised by friends at my golf club that while East Dulwich is nice, the surrounding areas are non too desirable, particularly Peckham! Im only really interested in upmarket places where mature conversation can flow. I had a jolly good pint of IPA yesterday at another pub on the corner called 'The Palmerston', it felt like it might be up my alley, but there was a real lack of socialising going on beyond individual tables- one of the unfortunate side effects of so called 'covid', i suppose.
