superdrug!!


Recommended Posts

Be grateful anyone has taken the spot in these tough times for the high street.


I welcome anyone willing to add footfall. Half the shops appear empty most of the time during the week. Use it or lose it I say. At least a high street chain will attract people to the area and increase footfall for other shops locally, including independents.

FH did reduce their opening hours slightly, but is still doing well. But is nice to have the choice to go to Forest Hill which is nearer to me or LL.



From what I saw of the shop fitting yesterday, it doesn't look like they'll have a pharmacy, which will ensure the viability of Sogim, Lloyds and the others nearby.

Superdrug have good and bad points but so far I've found them cheaper than the local pharmacies around the South London area.


The one at Camberwell never seems to have enough staff, but there are two ladies there on the tills that are always cheerful and polite and make up for my negative experiences.

I think affordable chains alongside valuable independents keep any high street viable. People arguing for exclusive independent high streets are (IMO), hinting that they want an exclusively expensive bunch of shops only accessible to some local residents, and not everyone. What?s wrong with a few affordable chains to help boost footfall and make LL inclusive for all socio economic groups in ED?

    • I am at The Gardens. I saw GP on a Wednesday and he recommended physio, he checked availability and offered Tessa Jowell Centre for Saturday at 1 pm or Forest Hill Road Practice on a Monday at 11 am. I chose FH- very efficient/ Physio at FH very helpful, sent me some neck exercises and referred me for spinal assessment at Kings.
    • Of course, people's experiences may vary, but I'm afraid I can't recommend the DMC on Crystal Palace Rd.
    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
