The Hob, The Honor Oak, Yune, Lemon Grove, Bunka, Mayo Maker, Laurel's Flowers, Provender, Cafe La, Thai Orchard. As I said, I'm not sure what's gained by saying, "Forest Hill is rubbish."
And I'm not sure what's gained by grossly misrepresenting my posts.
All the places you mention were there before I moved in, with the exception of Yune (which was called something else and run by the same people, IIRC, the Honor Oak, which is miles away, and the Lemon Grove).
The Hob: established business, recently refurbished. Good.
The Honor Oak: too far away to comment
Yune: existed in a slightly different guise, only once have I seen more than one table occupied, astonished it's still going. That's more times than I've seen more than one table occupied at Gingko, like.
Lemon Grove: we're declaring it a success after FOUR DAYS? (though I think it will be, and I hope it is)
Bunka, Mayo Maker: Never seen anyone in either of them, and I can see them from my window.
Laurel's Flowers: seems to fit in with the flow of the road to me.
I've never said that FH is rubbish. I've lived here 18 months and intend to stick around, perhaps even becoming an FTB here if I can scrape together the funds. I like the area. But East Dulwich it ain't. It might be one day. I'm not sure what's gained by suggesting that businesses we might like to set up in a particular location would succeed, just because if wishing made it so.
