Lovely to see the Christmas tree going up in Dulwich Village, the trees above the shops are all up too. Don't forget the free Christmas Stocking events in the Village this Sunday, noon til 5pm: choirs, mystery stocking hunt, and festive food & drink.

Great autumn colours in Dulwich Park Friends as the leaves come down with the colder weather. More on the way!

Hugely excited to be welcoming world-renowned cellist Natalie Clein to MCT at Alleyn's School for the #DulwichConcertSeries Alleyn's School on Mon 27 Nov.

Milkwood Road #HerneHill , c1910 and today. All the buildings in the historic view were demolished after WW2. On the left the Milkwood Tavern. Note the large gas lamp above the entrance, a common feature with Victorian pubs. A school has taken the place of the pub.

Great to see Joan Woodward getting some of the #LocalHistory limelight, given how much she did for #Dulwich when her husband, Edward Alleyn, was touring the country.
