The Ivanhoe (Hoopers) - East Dulwich, Peckham or Camberwell?

I'm in two minds about this one. The Ivanhoe is a just short trot from the centre of ED (goose green/LL), while it's quite a bit further from the centre of camberwell (camberwell green). Therefore it makes more sense for them to tap into the ED market than the cambwerwell market.


Alan's right though, it is actually Camberwell. Some would argue that labelling themselves as "East Dulwich" is a cynical marketing ploy... trying to benefit from the so-called gentrification of Lordship Lane, while denying the roots/origins of the establishment.

- 'Cynical marketing ploy' that?s a little harsh.... but correct. However, I will say that the Canning is less than a couple of 100 metres from the ED border and don?t you agree that any competition is healthy competition? When I talk about the canning I am proud to say that it is in Camberwell but I would be a fool to limit or label my pub in only one area when I can quite easily use two or three. I would also guess that a very high percentage of our cliental are from ED.


Welcome to the George Canning Bar & Restaurant on the borders of Camberwell & East Dulwich??

re sun & doves - I'd cite an unseasonable season rather than ED competition, I was out and about in ED last night and it was very quiet for a thursday.


Re borders - regardless of old boroughs demarcations it makes more sense for Hoopers to be either ED or peckham in terms of psychogeography, than camberwell.

For me camberwell is a sort of victorian echo of better times, it's more picturesque in a piss-stained junkie, plastic bag ridden fear kind of way than east dulwich, but I'm pretty glad I have a hill between me and it and breathe a sigh of relief every time no-one stabs me in the bus queue by the green every day.


Yay the silver buckle, traditional boozer huh.

I haven't been to the Canning but I'm already guessing it's the kind of place I wouldn't mind having two minutes walk from my house. ie 'a local'. Unfortunately I'm also guessing it's the kind of pub that there isn't a place for in ED these days.


My friend who lives at the top of Dog Kennel Hill (*holds nose*) goes there for the quiz night.

Isn't it just London? (ok im from the North)each area has its good and bad, some more bad than others. Ive lived in London for nearly 20 years, North london, west and even east London and this is the first time that i can actually say that this is now my home and it feels like home. The Canning is in SE5 but i do live in ED. Camberwell Grove, Grove Lane, Grove Park, etc all look and feel like ED. Yes its Camberwell but the folk are very similar... Home sweet home

I live on champion hill, i really don't give a sh!t whether it's dulwich, peckham or camberwell frankly Alan. Doesn't bother me one iota.

All i know is I have a host of nice places to eat nearby in most directions, lots of nice pubs, it's quite green, Camberwell is photogenic, but frankly large parts of it are really quite unpleasant.


To betray something I'd have to have some loyalty in the first place; sorry bud, but I don't.


You seem to have a bee in your bonnet about it and I can't quite work out why, but if you like i'll get Vance and Owen down and we can sort something out, draw up some new silly maps, or I could hang about at the top of the hill with a dragonov gunning down old ladies, territorialism usually seems to end up down that path.

I've some fascinating photos of Sarajevo if you want to see them. Those Novi Grad types didn't like those Zelecnica types much either.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By malumbu · Posted

      If you read my post I expect a compromise with the raising of the cap on agricultural property so that far less 'ordinary' farmers do not get caught  Clarkson is simply a high profile land owner who is not in the business as a conventional farmer.  Here's a nice article that seems to explain things well  https://www.sustainweb.org/blogs/nov24-farming-budget-inheritance-tax-apr/ It's too early to speculate on 2029.  I expect that most of us who were pleased that Labour got in were not expecting anything radical. Whilst floating the idea of hitting those looking to minimise inheritance tax, including gifting, like fuel duty they also chickened put. I'm surprised that anyone could start touting for the Tories after 14 years of financial mismanagement and general incompetence. Surly not.  A very low bar for Labour but they must be well aware that there doesn't need to be much of a swing form Reform to overturn Labour's artificially large majority.  But even with a generally rabid right wing press, now was the opportunity to be much braver.

      And I worry this Labour government with all of it's own goals and the tax increases is playing into Farage's hands. With Trump winning in the US, his BFF Farage is likely to benefit from strained relations between the US administration and the UK one. As Alastair Campbell said on a recent episode of The Rest is Politics who would not have wanted to be a fly on the wall of the first call between Angela Rayner and JD Vance....those two really are oil and water. Scary, scary times right now and there seems to be a lack of leadership and political nous within the government at a time when we really need it - there aren't many in the cabinet who you think will play well on the global stage.

      Funerals, for example.

      I look to the future and clearly see that the law of unintended consequences will apply with a vengeance and come 2029 Labour will voted out of office. As someone once said 'The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money'.
