Got to admire post-Covid enthusiasm and hopefully it encourages others to invest in vacant premises.

Dulwich audi premises ? Seems in line with the UKs general economic strategy. Selling coffee to each other and endless mortgage lending fuelled house price rises.


Probably not good news for the 3 or 4 similar places in and around Dulwich village. 2 coffee places on the same block iirc ?

This is so ridiculous. My post disappeared by the way saying it would be perfect for yummy mummies and their buggies, to sit outside.


However, when some on other social media are saying locals should support local businesses, how on earth can seven places selling coffee survive? This morning I counted 27 people in the queue for Gail's and two in Romeo Jones.


Do the math.

Romeo Jones does the best coffee in the village IMO, really don't understand the queuing for 25 mins to get one from Gail's. I've just looked at the menu for Megan's, it actually looks ok if a little pricey (although a 250ml glass of wine for a fiver in happy hour isn't bad), depends on the food quality for me. I was quite excited when the Greek place opened but went twice and never again...

Agree! Love romeo Jones. They do great sandwiches and soups too

I do worry that there are now too many outlets selling the same/similar thing. I do know that if the sun isn't shining and the weather lovely then there isn't enough trade to go around between the existing ones yet alone with a new one adding yet more competition. Maybe this is part of the Southwark Labour grand plan - they want to, ahem, gentrify Dulwich Village and fill it full of coffee shops and estate agents!
Dulwich estate own the freehold lane and make decisions as to which businesses to let to. I also wonder how many coffee shops Dulwich can support but for now it seems the answer is ?lots?. It will depend on how many people continue to work from home full or part time too I think.
In what way is Gails dreadful?, rarely go there myself as it usually is too crowded, but there are enough other options, also there is now a convenience store and a new terrific cheese and goodie shop, as well as the book shop,a butchers, a good gift shop and the stationary/toy stationary shop. It seems to me that the Estate is managing things well.

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
    • Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area
