Does anyone know if this is happening this year? It used to coincide with Small Business Saturday - this year Sat Dec 5 - but given Lockdown appreciate may have gone asunder.


If business can reopen by Dec 3 it would be a shame for something not to happen as local business needs so much support this year.


Might anyone know who may be the contact for organising it this year?

Yes a real shame but we can all help by continuing to shop local,including at North Cross road market...


South London club is worth signing up as you get discounts in Dulwich and surrounding areas https://shop.southlondonclub.co.uk/products/south-london-club-card


Rye Books and other shops are doing online orders so also worth considering buying from them as opposed to Amazon for Christmas presents.

Yes, I?m trying to buy local as much as possible, have had a brilliant service over the last week from ED and Postmark. Called ED Sunday about some champagne flutes that were out of stock online, Dan called me back on Monday having sorted some for me and I collected them this week. Picked up an order from Postmark at the same time which was super easy with their click and click, recyclable Christmas wrapping paper sorted.

Please do support local business in this way - loads of businesses are there in their empty shops trying to drum up trade behind the scenes and are able to take orders for collection via email/insta/twitter even if they don't have extensive online stores and the customer service is usually amazing - Zoom or Whatsapp or Facetime tours - effectively personal shopping - we have have done all the above and even hand-deliver to the door for free.


For beauty type business best way to support is to buy gift cards/vouchers for gifts for loved ones for future use.

    • It sounds like both cats have chosen to flee & seek temporary refuge rather than risk another confrontation with this dominant cat. Find out whether or not the cat has an owner & if he is neutered. If the cat is fixed, unchipped & no owner comes forward to claim him, you can contact Celia Hammond, Cats Protection or Stray Cat Club to arrange a TNR. This would remove the current threat & give these cats an opportunity to return home safely if they are close by. Our team carry scanners as part of a voluntary initiative to help reunite missing cats with their owners. We'll be keeping a look out for Gladys & Doris on our daily travels. I hope your friend is reunited with them soon.  
    • Have heard them twice this afternoon. Have binoculars at the ready.....are there any other birds that make similar calls? It's a very distinctive sound. Stand by! 
    • Do you have any binoculars?  My first ever sighting of swifts was when I was lying in the park, trying out some 10x25s.  Nothing at all  within plain sight, but when I was playing around with the focus -- presumably for clouds or planes -- suddenly there they were.   I've still never heard any in real life though.  The sample I heard on the BBC website sounded fairly high frequency and not very loud, so I suppose I might miss some; but then there have been precious few reports I've seen here of any being heard.  The only one I remember is Jenny1's last year. 
    • None of that makes any sense. Rumour and vibes-based governance...   Meanwhile, thanks in part to the NIMBY tendencies of certain councillors, 23 London council areas saw 0 (zero) new housing units under construction in Q1 2024. Pitiful. About 724,000 (net) people moved to the UK in 2024, a sizeable chunk of them to London. The already high demand for housing is increasing, and the supply isn't changing at all. Rent prices (and therefore taxpayer funds paid to private landlords through Housing Benefit) are going up...and new housing units are objected to because they're "visible" and because a fear that rich foreign students will live there.
