I believe there's scope for an outside area at the back. The problem would be how to access it from the bar (there is the small matter of two toilets in the way!). I also believe that there was talk at one point of extending upstairs. However, the flat above is apparently occupied.


I wasn't in this weekend to enquire what the situation is - has anyone else asked Bev and Steve yet? I am due to go in for a few drinks tomorrow night though ...


If it is definitely the case that they are selling up, then mini-Forum drinks are surely in order to commiserate the (potential) closing of my (and others') fave bar in ED.

The bouncers at the Bish are quite proactive in making sure people are not making a nuisance, not taking drinks out after 10pm, etc. I don't think the Cherry have any door staff to keep things in order. It's a pity though as it might be nice to have a few quiet drinks out back in the summer.

Seems to me a prime opportunity for the forum and community to give some feedback and support to the owners.


I recently returned to The Seacow, after the owner promised improvements after reading complaints registered on here. Guess what? He had made the improvements and things are looking up again.


So, what we would like to see in Inside 72 and what improvements could be made ...


e.g. Music quiz, football screen for mon nights, films showed, suggestions on easy to do simple food.


How about a forum drinks night there? The place will only thrive if the locals like it and support it.

I'll be popping in for a pint this weekend

we can and we will - horses for courses, but i've only been in once or twice and it's been a generally uncomfortable experience. much better sense to make room for a cafe or a shop selling attractive girly items for around the house that have no real use ;-)

that smiley might just save you bignumber5- hmmmmm


I'm with mostothers on 'ere - love the place and I'm in there at least once a week


but SteveT is spot on too re: The Castle. Old School as you like. I know some forumites live near there and witness "unpleasantness" but I like it. It was mooted as a forum drinks venue but some people were a bit anxious about the place. T'would have done them good to spend an evening in there I say. Failing that.... national service!

David, your comment about ?4,000 takings being good with a rent of ?20,000 is misguided. Of the ?4,000, take away VAT and then the actual cost of the booze and food and you are probably left with a gross profit of ?2,000 a week before all your costs: rent is just one. Rates are probably another ?10K a year, then you have salaries, wages, national insurance, utilities, insurance, building maintenance..with takings of ?4K a week the place can only be running at a loss.


Good luck to the Inside 72 guys.

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      Can't agree with this, some of them appear totally gormless and can't even look you in the eye or say a word when asked a straightforward question about the membership card at the till. The only cheerful person in there is Tom and he'll proactively talk to anyone about anything. That guy deserves more.

      The person behind the till won't know about whether or not an assignment of their lease has been purchased by a company like Tesco.  Poundland was sold for a nominal fee so it's unsurprising that the location may close soon. As well, for what it's worth, someone working in the shop is likely to have their job impacted by the shop closing, so having loads of people going and asking them about the potential closing of their shop isn't really nice. "Hey, hear you'll be out of a job soon. Know much about that?" The best resource you all should be using for queries about planning details of new shops is the council's website. As was stated on the first page of this post, there's an application lodged for multiple changes at 29-35 Lordship Lane with the client as Tesco. They wouldn't lodge these plans unless it was happening, or at least extremely likely to happen.    The application is on the council's website here: https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=SVW246KBKF500&activeTab=summary

      It's a notice about a licence, but the only name on it is Poundland.

      What did the notice on the front door say? The planning applications currently being considered clearly refer to Tesco Stores Ltd.  The signage for above the entrance says "Tesco Express". I can't imagine the two companies combining in the same space 😉
