Hi I moved to ED from West London and absolutely loving it. What I do miss is though a good old school boozer have been to the EDT, Bishop etc but are there any good 'proper' pubs round here?


Also what are the other interesting areas to visit and is the farmers market in Peckham on a Sunday any good?


Wuld be great to get some suggestions of what to do round here!!


Cheers

Hi and welcome,

What do you mean by good proper pub?

Sawdust on floor? Everyone smoking themselves - and anyone nearby passively-so - to death?

Appalling beer from just one brewery?

The ladies drinking their half ciders out the back room with the kids in their prams?

Do proper pubs not have televisions?


Yeah - what dya mean by good proper pub?


Just wonderin' like. :)

Welcome to the area TommyT. There are about a trillion pub related discussions which should answer most of your questions.

Like PR, I'm not sure of your definition of a good old fashioned boozer, but at a pinch and depending on that definition, you could try the CPT or The Castle on Crystal Palace road, the Crown & Greyhound (aka the Dog) or a host of pubs a bit further afield in camberwell, pekcham (pronounced pay-sharm), nunhead or forest hill directions.


Also Hoopers on Ivanhoe road is good for proper beer.

Good proper pub = CPT - Crystal Palace Tavern, or the Gowlett or The Clock House - there will be many other recommendations no doubt.


We are also but a short train ride fom London Bridge, where there are many nice pubs and Borough Market on a Friday and Saturday, the Daddy of all such markets.


Welcome!

Welcome to the area Tommy. I second what has been said about the Crystal Palace Tavern (CPT). It?s a top pub! It is over here:

The Castle is also what one would call an ?old school boozer? but a bit more shall we say, rough around the edges. It is up the road. Expect the locals (which include a few vaguely humanoid beings and a couple of dogs) to stop their conversations and turn to look at you when you walk in.

But that's just them being friendly! Isn't it nicer to be noticed and welcomed in the local dialect ("Who the f**k are you???) rather than ignored?

      For those wanting to boycott US products, it might be useful to consider  a list of brands owned  by Proctor and Gamble:-     Ariel laundry detergent Crest toothpaste[4] Dawn dishwashing Downy fabric softener and dryer sheets Fairy washing up liquid Febreze odour eliminator Gillette razors, shaving soap, shaving cream, body wash, shampoo, deodorant Head & Shoulders shampoo Olay personal and beauty products Oral-B oral hygiene products Pantene haircare products Tide laundry detergents and products Vicks cough and cold products

      Nursery school

      By tomem · Posted

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
