Can’t imagine why I’m thinking about it now (could it be that it is 31 degrees, and next week is expected to get up to 35!!!??), but I was imagining enjoying a lovely ice cream.
I was wondering if anyone knows of the best location to get something decent (i.e. not a pre-packaged one from the supermarket) here in the area?
There was an ice-cream shop on Brockley Rise for a very short time some years ago, but the only one I can think of is up in East Dulwich. Is this something Forest Hill and Honor Oak are missing?

I gave up on ice cream shops after the Criterion closed.

Definitely Marcelo’s - doing Saturdays and Sundays at Haynes Lane Courtyard in Crystal Palace now. Super interesting small batch flavours: https://www.instagram.com/marcelosicecream/p/DZr0jLVjeT1/?hl=en

There used to be a great place called Sugar Mountain run by @Pauline on Dartmouth Road that sold ice cream. Sadly no longer there.

@Pauline …
It’s nice to see that our little legend isn’t forgotten.
She loved Forest Hill SO much and she was always looking at ways of promoting the town - a real pocket rocket!
Mind you, Anna, who’s had Beetroot & Beans in that shop since Pauline left in 2019 is constantly telling me how much she also loves the FH community.

The Pantry sell very nice ice-cream sandwiches with some nice flavour options - treated myself to one yesterday!

Crisp sandwiches and sugar sandwiches used to be a thing, but I’ve never heard of an ice cream sandwich.
So is this a sandwich as in ice cream between 2 slices of bread?
That’s done it!
You know my wife’s gonna be thinking I’ve got dementia when she sees me getting the multi-seed out and spreading Carte d’Or on it
