Yeah, looks like the garden is the draw. I didn't even know of it until I just did a little google now.

What's with the E Dulwich forum? People on here speak of it almost in hushed tones. Is it filled with incredibly posh people?

The Dolphin was my local when I moved to London. It's had a few faces over the years including a name change for a while. No idea what it's like now but looks fine.

Whatever do you mean by that, young lady?!

No.
Yeah I went about 6 months ago - I hated it. Full of posh or upper middle class types, tiny drinking area and the garden was okay, but not that amazing. Apparently it had just been redone so not sure if that predates the other comments or not.
I was hoping for so much more tbh.

Could be fun to do a full-on urbz freakazoid invasion in the summer then - watch the poshos choke on their claret.

Conclusion? Have you a suitably controversial one?

Probably not - just desperate to get it finished so I can have my life back.. for awhile.

We've only been to DWH in winter and it wasn't posh then. Or not unusually so.
My mum lives in Henley, it was nowhere near as posh as that. We went to Henley by accident on regatta weekend once. It's not so much an accent as a completely alien vocalisation system, really posh people have. Closer to donkeys braying than human speech.
Oh also, DWH is not as posh as Bath. Bath might be posher than Henley.

I seriously doubt they'd give a fuck tbh.It's not really 'posh' but it is very middle class. As is a lot of urban.

I seem to recall Wimbledon was on, possibly even the final - that may have had something to do with it. Anyway I walked there from Penge so the contrast was perhaps more vivid

One on one? You're crazy.
Bath is not as posh as Henley, there are pockets of extreme poshness in Bath, but it does have a fair few run down areas but they are outside the centre where everyone visits.Bits of Bath aren't all that posh tho. marty21 can back me up on that, he dragged the whole neighbourhood down

Bath is far more grand than Henley though. Henley may have fewer "common types", but bath is poshness on a far more epic, near theatrical scale.

It's a shame - we used to go fairly regularly about ten years ago and it was a lovely pub, large & convivial with lots of rooms. And slightly old-skool.
It definitely lost something (its character, maybe?) with the refit. I think it may have been the first place I ever paid £7 for a glass of wine.

Please will people look at this thread - http://www.urban75.net/forums/threa...f-south-norwood-hill-childrens-centre.319505/ - and consider signing the petition against the closure of the South Norwood Hill Children's Centre. As well as being pissed off at it being closed, I am also pissed off at the apathy of the families who use it, and I want at least to try and do something to fight this!

The Crescents and the Circus are fairly grand tbf, but I have seen more poshos in Henley. Bath looks grander in the Crescents and that .
