Some places in the area are part of the public toilets scheme (not sure what it's called) including the library. I don't know if the loo in the reception of the leisure centre is part of the scheme but it's certainly available to just walk into and nobody has ever questioned me on doing so.

It seems that it is NOT Southwark Council's policy to provide Public Toilets.


Peckham is a good example. There used to be three public toilets off of Rye Lane.


One in Melon road.

One behind the Station

and underground toilets at the top of Rye Lane at what was once The Heaton Arms.(Heaton Road)


Over the years they have all been demolished.


There were toilets on Peckam Rye where the old lido was. Now a nursery ??


It would seem they are too expensive to maintain and is more profitable to get the Police

to monitor people who get caught short and urinate in the street and Fine them.


Goose Green would be a good spot.

There are a few events throughout the year where toilets really are needed.

instead of having to cross the road and use The East Dulwich Tavern.

This request for loos is not new = back in the early 1980s, the 3 Residents Associations NARA (North Cross Area)

PARA (Pellatt area) and BARA (Barry Area) campaigned for a public loo in the North Cross Road area - a site was identified (near the electricity sub station) but Southwark Council refused. We were informed that people could use the local pubs and cafes.


In the 1950s and 1960s there was a toilet in the Goose Green Playground for children to use. I think it may have been there until the 1970s as have a vague recollection of my eldest child using it.

Southwark provides public lavatory at thE Dulwich Leisure Centre, soon to be open new Grove Vale Library, Dulwich Library.

Some boroughs run a scheme to encourage private businesses to open up their lavatories to non customers. We clearly could do with a couple of such facilities on Lordship Lane.

    • Their food is lovely, but unfortunately the waiting time for it is sometimes so long, even when they don't seem particularly busy, that we no longer go there. We used to just accept it, but seeing people who came in long after us getting their food before us was the last straw after we had waited well over half an hour, if memory serves. It might have been nearly an hour, but I can't remember exactly, it was a while ago. We paid for our drinks (which had come quite quickly) and went to have lunch elsewhere. We reckoned we would get our food quicker that way. We were very  hungry by this time! It's a shame, because we would like to support them as they are a small local business with great food, but there seems to be some problem on the kitchen side (we were assured that our order had been given to the kitchen as soon as we made it - we asked earlier, as we thought maybe it had been forgotten, but no).
    • This is a bit niche 🤣 I like  Kargs cheese and pumpkin seed crispbread, but it's quite expensive even when it's on offer. So when M&S started their own brand,  I used to buy that sometimes. It was different from Kargs, but ok. Then it disappeared from the shelves for ages. I assumed this was due to the supply problems after M&S  were hacked into. So I was quite pleased recently to see it had returned. But it now tastes revolting (in my opinion). I have no idea what was in it before, as I had no reason to look, but on checking the ingredient list now,  the second after wheat flour  is cornflour (?!), and it's also got palm fat, rapeseed oil, cheese powder and potato starch. And some other stuff. Plus some  actual cheese. I can't find anything online to say the recipe was  changed, so maybe my taste buds have suddenly become more sensitive, but after reading this, I'm appalled M&S are selling this rubbish. Has anyone else noticed any changes? I'm assuming they waited some time so customers would have used up what they had and couldn't make a direct comparison, but that might be a hideous slur (if so, apologies to M&S). Kargs use sunflower oil, and have  none of these other weird ingredients. I shall be gritting my teeth and buying only Kargs from now on. Disclaimer 1 : I don't have any shares in Kargs. I wish I did, I might get a discount! Disclaimer 2:  Yes I have many better things to do with my time than post on here moaning about crispbread, but I am having a tea break (just preempting another attack from those people who haven't got better things to do with THEIR  time than post on here to randomly attack other posters for no apparent reason).
    • There is the Blue Brick Cafe for vegetarian food too.
