Love this. Thanks for sharing. Too true but wholly proud to be an East Dulwichite!

“There’s certainly no Kichen’s Kitchens and Bathrooms — where Amanda has her “collab’ — on Lordship Lane.”

 

Yes there is!! What about Bells Bathrooms and Kitchens in Lordship Lane? It’s exactly like the place in Amandaland.

No it hasn't!  It was nothing like this when I first moved here in 1992 (into a 2 bed flat bought for £63k).  The area was full of salt of the earth, sarf London pensioners.  Slow Horses' Lamb would have been more at home here than Amanda back in the '90s.  People do write such toss about their neighbourhoods.

Yes! 

I moved here around that time, and you certainly wouldn't have gone to the Uplands (now the Actress) for a quiet Friday night 🤣
