Given all the effort and energy that went into ensuring that it survived at all this seems very surprising. It i...

Re: E cigarettes in the Dolphin

E cigarettes in the Dolphin

Kente Redecoration

Popped into Kente's today. it has been redecorated and generally refreshed and some good work has been done on improving the display of artwork and local notices plus it is now offering free wifi. It seems to be one of Sydenham's neglected coffee shops and is well worth a visit.
