I have friends coming down from Highgate with their four kids this Saturday to check out Dulwich Village. They are looking to potentially buy in the area. I was going to take them on a little walking tour and spend some time in the park, but now it looks like it's going to be raining! Does anyone have an idea of what to do with four adults and six kids (combined with mine) ranging from eight months to nine years in age? Our flat is too small to host. Something that would ideally give them an idea of how charming the area is? I really want them to move here! Thanks! x

A second vote for the Horniman and then lunch at Rocca. Otherwise the picture gallery (if that's feasible for the kids) and lunch at Rocca. Basically make sure you take them to Rocca as they are so family friendly and the fun is great. Just a shame the Dog is shut (? if it is) for its refurb.

It's only a dozen or so stalls so not a major destination but good for a 10-15 minute stroll. Stall holders set up about 9.00am to 10.00am and, depending on the weather/time of year/amount of trade, are usually pretty much packed up by 5pm. It's a must for fudge, fresh popcorn, coffee, fancy hotdogs and pies plus a lot more. Must also plug Lisa E Moss jewelry stall. She's an amazing designer and has lots of high profile clients.

Really hope the weather is more like today - the autumn colours are so pretty! Def go for a proper village walk along the shops and into the Park or down to belair and Dulwich college. If it does rain, I reckon the horniman (with market!) then picture gallery would be fab x

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
