  Thread: Life in SE23 - Shops
Post: RE: Italian Deli on Dartmouth Road

I always think getting hung up on these terms is a bit daft. At best they're just marketing terms. 'home made', 'hand crafted', 'artisan' etc. Who cares? The shop or restaurant isn't strictly ...

Post: RE: Future of The Hob

I had heard that the Hob was to be sold and re opened as more of a gastro-pub. Just a rumour though...

  Thread: JK Banqueting Hall
Post: RE: Assault and Stolen Car Incident. Perry Vale.

This hall's getting worse. We live round the back and have frequent issues with the noise from the hall, and often people exiting via Hindsley's Place making a racket late at night. We've had the co...

Post: RE: Glenlyn Ballroom

I so wish The Who, The Stones and Dusty still played there... We live behind it and the crap PA driven music from the weddings and religious groups makes our garden unusable on summer evenings. ...

  Thread: African Restaurant opposite FH station
Post: RE: African Restaurant opposite FH station

Totally agree. But I think that can work. You can't see the outside from your dining table. Sat Baines' Michelin starred place in Nottingham is in the arse end of a Lenton Industrial estate. H...

  Thread: African Restaurant opposite FH station
Post: RE: African Restaurant opposite FH station

Excellent news :thumbsup: Wonder what sort of place it will be? CW is very much high end gastro pub fare. Would be great to see that kind of thing in SE23, but it would be a first for the area. ...

Post: RE: From the Forest closed

I heard today (from a not 100% reliable source) that it's going to be a nik-nak shop. I'm hoping for walls of actual NikNaks (the snack food) but I think it might be just gifts and stuff that no on...

Suspect someone's been told to clear their stuff out of a rented flat above or lose their deposit. Maybe. FH is still relatively cheap by London standards so plenty of DSS type lettings. Transien...

Post: RE: Today's traffic...?

Basically, it's cos the population in the world has pretty much doubled since the 1960s, and London is one of the premiere global metropolitan areas with good economic prospects.

Post: RE: Railway Telegraph

Admittedly that is steep for Fosters pish. Best avoided. The Asahi, Hurlimann etc. are all comparable with prices for premium lagers elsewhere though. Maybe they want to discourage Fosters drin...

  Thread: Railway Telegraph
Post: RE: Railway Telegraph

I don't see what the issue with £4.20 a pint is? This is for a premium lager, ales are cheaper. Pretty standard London prices. It's the same price or cheaper than the Dartmouth, Hob, Post, All In...

Post: RE: Street drinkers in Forest Hill town centre

I live on Hindsleys Place so feel more qualified to comment than some. I really liked the original proposal and have seen the outlines for the new one but in less detail. Hopefully it will still be ...
