Thanks to a fund from Southwark Council, there will be a Xmas Parade in Dulwich Village, West Dulwich & Lordship Lane. If you would like to participate, please do get in touch. Additionally, there will be a Christmas Market in dulwich park on Sunday 5th December. Again, email if you are interested.

Finally, on Wednesday 29th September, the South Southwark Business Association will be holding it's AGM at the Crown & Greyhound from 6.30pm. All welcome.

Thanks tfc


I have to ask a very cynical question, but


in order to save our local shops we need to shop locally, therefore why are we not holding the christmas market in the heart of lordship lane so that it encourages people to visit the market and also shop on lordship lane. by holding it away from our main shopping area are you not encouraging people away from our local shops at at time they need the spend the most ?


Just a thought but wouldn't it be better to work with rather then against the interests of the local traders ?

I would add to ArtfulDogger's comment that spending Southwark Council's money on promoting an already successful area may not be the best use of public funds. Most local traders would prefer a permanent reduction in business rates to a one off - and as AD has pointed out, poorly targeted effort.

I?m sure it probably has more to do with Dulwich Park being an open public area with the facilities and space available to host a market and lordship lane being a busy crowed high street and thoroughfare.


Goose Green would be an option to bring people to LL but things like parking and access are probably much easier in Dulwich Park.

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
