Please can someone help me! I’ve been trying to find out if there are still restrictions in place for driving down Court lane on weekdays but this information is a lot harder to come by than I thought it would be! When turning left into Court lane from Lordship Lane there no longer seems to be any road signs. I only want to drive as far as the court lane entrance to Dulwich park to take my elderly dog for a walk but don’t want to risk getting a fine. Dulwich park is our favourite of all the local parks, however, sadly we have been avoiding it due to the uncertainty surrounding the restrictions. Please can someone clarify for me. Many thanks 😊

You can drive down Court Lane from Lordship Lane and drive into the other side streets, but you can't turn right into Calton Avenue or cross into the Village.


What you intend to do is perfectly legal, you can also turn into Eynella Road from Lordship Lane down to the park (Court Lane Gate) as well. It's not helped by confusing traffic signs on LL itself.

So glad you will be able to drive down Court Lane now from Lordship Lane and that somebody on the good old East Dulwich Forum has clarified this for you. Southwark Council like to make things so complicated and their signage situation is ridiculous. The clutter at the Dulwich Village end of Court Lane makes me sad when I remember how it used to be.


It's the same with knowing whether to drive through Dulwich Village at any time from the Red Post Hill traffic lights just past North Dulwich train station. This is perfectly fine. It's just coming in from the other way that a fine is incurred!

    • H&B Is coming to Lordship Lane  It will be next to the Large St Christophers in Lordship Lane Also just to confirm that Oliver Bonas is taking over the 2 white stuff shops (i spoke to the builders yesterday and they confirmed they are breaking through to combine all three shops)
    • So here we go again, but with a proposal for a bigger and longer event. This despite the massive failings (again) last year with serious & long lasting damage to our park throughout the summer, lack of effective waste management, widespread public nuisance by the attendees, and of course the noise. Every year GALA are set conditions for their event licence, every year they fail to meet them, then every year they are granted a licence again - depressing. First impressions from the site plan - the proposed footprint has increased dramatically, sprawling further down & across our park (image attached with 2024 footprint in orange & 2025 extension in red). There  will be a music stage within 50m of our front room. The entrance area will be on a sports pitch. The trackway for heavy plant access will be across two sports fields. The entrance / exit for heavy plant will be opposite a school. The road at that point is regularly gridlocked due to parked & waiting cars. Increased trackway = increased damage to grass. I'm sure there's plenty more that is unacceptable... It's clear that we all need to comment on this consultation, but it's not clear how to actually add comments / participate. The email & consultation document both direct you to the GALA page on the council website - www.southwark.gov.uk/Gala2025 - but this only has details of the GALA PR sessions, not the official consultation. I've raised this with the council, I'll post if I get a response. I've also raised the issue that the council's Outdoor Event Policy states that "Applications for major events must be submitted a minimum of nine months prior to the event start date.", which would have been August 29th 2024 for this application. This is apparently necessary to give sufficient time for things like consultations...
    • I'm sorry to see another chain opening up in the form of Holland and Barratt a couple of doors up from SMBS.  That will be another unfair pressure on SMBS .  I really hope people continue to support SMBS and its relative shop The Cheese Block under huge pressure with the arrival of Mons and Bora.  These are two of the oldest surviving (30 years plus?) green grocers, deli and unusual ingredient food shops in Lordship Lane and made it an interesting high street long before the chains and  newbies moved in.  I would think Healthmatters is none too happy either 😕 Support your local independent store or Lordship Lane will get really dull 
    • Thank you so much for your lovely review, Laura! It’s amazing to hear about your progress – we love having you at the hub. See you soon! Gok 😊
