Now that I am on a proper keyboard - what is with goer's post(s). Several of the bars on the Lane accept cards but sometimes have problems and can accept cash only. What has happened to make him/her so upset hear. I get there is some confusion and a problem with a CAPS LOCK Key but it would take more than that for me to go on a rampage about a pub...


It probably is the furthest pub in the area from a cashie which makes it inconvenient but still

I think his/her's frustration is with being told cards were acceptable and then being told otherwise at the end. I understand this and would equally be pissed off. Whether it's worth half a dozen rants and two threads to tell it (nicely censored Mr Admin) is another thing altogether.


One expects teething problems with a new establishment - give them a chance to rectify the problem and try again.

This place is growing on me hugely. Popped in there yesterday with my skin n' blister and met up with the Right Honourable EDOldie Esq. I'm so glad they've kept the Timothy Taylor's Landlord. It's a very pleasant space to spend time in and I can see this becoming quite a regular haunt for the Lush.


Went to a birthday soiree upstairs at the EDT afterwards and I really like what they've done with the space up there too so much so that I'm seriously considering filling in my application form for the Members Club, which is quite something as I normally follow the Groucho Marx view about clubs. Ended up in the Black Cherry for a few more snifters and got home quite periwinkled. Rather a good Sunday on the whole.

The Lodge, ok. So not The Den! lol


I've been a member of a members club before and what I find really annoying is that they often just end up allowing anyone in anyway! So I'll have a look, but I'd be weary of paying a high membership fee for this reason, especially since I feel there is a probably a limited marked for this in ED. I suspect the membership bit is an excuse to have the place open till later, which I'm actually in favour of. Does anyone have more information about this place?


Sorry, probably need a new thread on this really.

Went to the Magnolia for lunch yesterday, it was really really lovely. Rose has done a super job. They did have a few hiccups with their card machine and lack of coffee but was not really their fault although they might have been a little more gracious about it. however the food was superb and it has a lovely atmosphere and the loos are really good!

Yeah! Probably, although I think there is an old one somewhere if you look.


Membership for the Lodge is ?80 for a single person or ?120 for two. There is also a corporate membership, the price eludes me for that. It'll be open up to 12 midnight for the first few months and then depending on the demand and the uptake I suppose they'll then push for a later license.


Right back to the Magnolia. I don't normally eat in pubs but the menu does look tempting and I reckon I'll be eating in there soon. A really nice atmosphere and not overcrowded like the rest of Lordship Lane.

      Has anyone had issues with subsidence caused by tree outside property?

      By Moovart · Posted

      A good neighbour would discuss the problem with you, take heed of your concern and do something about their tree causing or potentially causing damage to your property.  Unfortunately Southwark seems to behave like a "bad neighbour" in this situation, not wanting to respond to concerns unless forced to by a third party claim.  The only alternative is to keep badgering them to take seriously their responsibility for council owned trees in relation to neighbouring properties in the hope they will eventually act. In the end the residents bear the cost either way ☹️

      Derelict Grove Tavern - who to contact?

      By PickledPorcupine · Posted

      Id like to see the temporary skate park closed off and got rid of now, its getting too cringey listening to do gooders who own £1.5 million houses crow about 'how amazing it is that some local teenagers turned an unused area into a fantastic community hub' etc etc...they probably wouldnt say that if they lived beside it.  Ideally we would have a Wetherspoons in its place so that those without huge salaries and mortgage free high value propreties (paid off with inheritance money) could have somewhere to go for cheap food and drink. Nowhere like that exists in Dulwich and the loss of The Capitol still resonates with the local hoi polloi. Unlikely to happen of course, since Spoons are now concentrating on opening pubs beside train stations and charging double the price for a pint compared to the usual Zone 3 neighbourhood Wetherpoons pub.
