Life in Dulwich

Franklins' new farm shop has opened at last in the old tyre shop, opposite the Franklins restaurant. It's still new and sawdusty with a select display of goods. There are unusual species of fruit and veg, juices and sauces from small local producers, homemade sauces and meals, organic household products, freshly baked cakes and patisserie, local organic ales, big hunks of local cheeses and the like. A most tasty addition to East Dulwich.

A new bakery and teashop called Luca's opens a few doors down quite soon. The neighbourhood is on the up and up.
