Difficult to judge without knowing what it is you like CA - where are you moving from and what was good there?


It's possible to have a quiet drink and bite to eat or to have a raucous night out around the area - but not really possible to have a dance stangely enough


Opinion is varied about the merits of the many restaurants and bars so best bet is to have a mooch around the threads here (or even search for specific bar names in the search bar above)


I will say that it's an area I've live in for 8 years and intend to stay for many more - welcome.

Thanks for that!


I'm moving from Portsmouth, though originally from oxford, and my housemate from essex so nightlife is pretty varied in all three places. We are mainly wondering what the pub scene is like and what are the best ones to try out?!


We have been to the area to look a number of times and seen that there are a number of eating places so looking forwards to trying some of those out!


Also does anyone knows if the night bus stops near the roundabout at the bottom of lordship lane? and is it an ok route back to ED?


Sorry lots of questions!

xxxxxxx


Now I'm confused and I've lived here for zillions of years!


Does the 12 nightbus have a different route to the 12 daybus? Or has my sense of distance gone the same way as my eyesight with age?

Stay in Pompey! You'll get shot round here, fireworks shoved through your letter box, random people knocking on your door asking for money to visit ill relatives, harrassed by the young gang members coming out of the new YOT office, harangued by the number of bugaboos, have to put up with screaming children in every single bar - day and night, swamped by SNUB bags wherever you look, get roped into repainting a god awful bloody mural and your cat is bound to get lost!

ED can't be that bad surely?!

Night buses (think they run every 30 mins)


Number 12: It stops more like 10 minutes walk from Goose Green at Peckham Common. Then it cuts through the back of East Dulwich via Barry Road southbound.


Number 37: There is also the 37 between East and West - Putney to Peckham via Brixton and Herne Hill.


Number 176: Travels directly into ED down Lordship Lane from Trafalgar Square in about 30 minutes, and is always busy.

Just another nightbus to throw in the mixer - the 63 from Kings Cross/Farringdon stops in the same place as the 12 (ED Rd/Peckham Rye Junction). My saviour time and again, even if the nightbus drivers do pick up psychotic tendencies after midnight (it makes for a quicker journey and is much cheaper than the taxi option).


On the pub front, I'd recommend nobody passing comment and allowing you to pick up the delightful experiences of one and all as you go. Let us know how many you make in one single night!

      Nursery school

      By tomem · Posted

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
