Wondered if anybody had any info about what, if anything is going to replace the Thai Pavillion restaurant which seems to have been closed down for over a year now. We are interested in a property adjacent and are trying to find out if there is any danger of the site being turned in a noisy bar with a late licence or some other residential nightmare. Or if anybody knows how you can find out from the council whether there are any restrictions on what the site can or can't be used for...

Any info gratefully received!

Go and ask at the planning office - they will be able to tell you. If it were to be turned into a bar then aplications for licences and for change of use would be required and you would have the right to oppose. Your views would be taken into consideration.

The old licence details can be found here - I think it provides for alcohol to be served with food, so a bar couldn't operate on that type of licence and would have to apply for it to be changed.

sema thai is awful, the decor before refurb was better and the food and service leave a lot to be desired - i think it's the only restaurant i would avoid on lordship lane! there is a great thai place in crystal palace (i forget the name) but wish there was one in dulwich somewhere. thai pavillion was a really nice place, great food even if the seats were a bit uncomfortable.

Neither Thai corner or Sema are anything special IMO, just run-of-the-mill suburban Thai restaurants. Something to soak up the beer, that tastes OK.


I really don't understand why restaurants settle for mediocrity when they could do so much better. The staff are Thai, they must know that the food they're serving isn't the real deal.

..if you ask them for "Proper" Thai style spicing, they give it to you the real way



Which is nice


( and hot & tasty )



W**F

Tamnag Thai is really good, I agree. Liking the up-turned parasols on the ceiling too... though I hope they've been treated with fire retardant - some of those dishes they set fire to can burn quite fiercely... I almost want to pull out my hose when that happens.

Out of interest, does anyone know why Thai Pavillion closed down? It was popular (but not cheap) when I moved into this area in the early '90's. Thai Cafe opened ,I think mid, '90's and has been popular since but to my knowledge has not changed it's menu since.


I like Thai Cafe. You get what you pay for and BYO does help keep the price down. I wonder if it's popularity led to the demise of Thai Pavillion?

I have eaten at all the Thai restaurants in the area, by far the best is Lombok in Herne Hill, exceptional thai cuisine....cheap and cheerful BYO Thai Corner.

If your in SoHo Busabai Eathai on Wardour Street.

Stoke Newington....for Yum Yums.


I travelled Thailand, i promise you won't be dissapointed with my recommendations

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
