Sydenham Town Forum

I know we can't possibly still talking about the Dolphin(!) - but was in there on Saturday night (there was a time I would have been embarrassed to take a few friends out in Sydenham - but was proud to suggest 'popping to my local'). Nice and busy - food was great and pleasantly sat there till 12:45...

Good luck CK. Yes you've only got to look at the new Dolphin to see a) the sort of clientel that are highly likely to be your 'cafe culture/coffee consuming' target audience b) the general changing demographic of Sydenham (East Dulwich over-spill) that, again, may well provied the market you're look...

Have to say extremely good news about the new London Overground for Sydders! I know there has been in the past some discussion about it not being 'officially' the underground - but let's face it - it'll still get called 'the tube' and Sydenham will be ON THE MAP! Plus, 'the overground' has the same ...

Putting slightly silly 'class' debates to one side (I do like living in an aspirational town and our new great looking 'gastro bar' reflects that - at the same time I appreciate options from other pubs that enable me to watch West Ham (lose, unfortunately) on Sky Sports as well every now and again -...

weeble! - what the blinkin' flip are you doing on the forum at 00:48 hrs?!!! I mean, the forum's good. But i don't know if it's early-hours-of-the morning-good! :wink: Regardless - I'll be checking out the Green Chilli for def. this weekend based on the recommendations. I'll have a late night delive...

I hate to burst your bubble Greg, but I've heard there is a red switch behind the bar that, if gently pressed, 2 fruit machines are hydraulically lowered down; the Weiss bier option morphs into a 'Stella' only outlet; 3 Skydigital-only giant tv screens surface from below and a 'shower' of burberry c...

And to solondon1972, sydenhamboy is considerably hairier than you ![/quote] Hey thanks for your support Greg W! And there is an element of pot/kettle/black type scenarios with solodon1972! Jolly good evening last night - very nice bunch of people to chat with - great days ahead for the Dolphin - it ...

I'll be there.
Best of luck The Dolphin.
If it's anything like TDA we've got ourselves a great bar in good old Sydders.

Yeah it's a real prime site for a coffee house - we've got to make it happen - there's even a little bit outside where they could have tables. Well done those who have bothered to email Cafe Neros .. Starbucks etc - I know they're a bit brand-namey but better that the "Yet Another Pound Shop&qu...

yesss .. freudian slip! .. i meant to say Bank .. It's the HSBC bank - kind of oppisite Silverdale. Fingers crossed for something fab and groovy for the new year ..

.. although I am in need of some cheap bin liners ..

Just wondered if anyone knew anything.

Any news on the HSBC pub that's closed down? Any rumours as to what it might become - prime site and all that .. sophisticated coffee house? .. wine bar? .. another pound shop? (how many cheap bin liners does one need!?) .. oh god! .. not another nail shop surely. If another nail shop opens I am lea...

Have to say you can't go wrong with Ghurkas .. excellent food .. friendly and quick takeaways if that's what your after. That Golden City is always good as well. We could do with a Pizza Express or some up-market type pizza place - mind you there is that pizza place down the road isn't there? Opposi...

Yeah - I was in one of the pubs half way down the high street not long ago and it felt like I stepped into an epidsode of 'The Sweeney' circa 1975. So I ordered a double-diamond and a babysham. I think 'Sydders' has bags of potential (15 mins to L. Bridge! Mayow Park Crystal Palace .. nice flats and...

I bought in Sydenham recently and was secretly disappointed with the bars in the area - I new there was a problem because my dad thought the pubs here were great - MY DAD! So I either quickmarch it to Forest Hill or bus it to C Palace or E Dulwich so this news is extremely welcome. If the spread of ...
