  1. The word is that threshers building is getting guaranteed rent twice over due to cross guarantees from two major corporate companies that had to pick up the lease as part of corporate mergers. No financial benefit for the landlord to let it.
  2. ED Warehouse will officially close its doors this Sunday at 5pm.


    Loads of bargains still to be had. Everything from men's and ladies vintage and designer clothing, furniture, jewellery, children's shoes, cushions, curtains, gifts and lots lots more.


    Final reductions are in place and if the last few weeks are anything to go by then its going to be a bit crazy!!


    We have had a great time in East Dulwich and we thank you all very much. We look forward to seeing you very soon at our next exciting venture.


    Thanks and goodbye.

  3. ED Warehouse vintage store is CLOSING DOWN.


    We are having a mega clearance sale. All stock must go. There are discounts of up to 75% on a wide range of products from clothing to furniture, jewellery to crockery, art to curtains, plus lots more.


    We have enjoyed our time in East Dulwich but regretfully the overheads are just getting too high in the area and that makes it necessary for us to close.


    We hope to see you at the clearance sale for some bargains.

  4. I suspect that you have just posted your friends pin number on here. Might be worth changing it. It can happen that when a sales assistant puts the amount into the machine, they forget to press enter and then the customer puts in their pin number, thus the large amount that appears. Its no excuse but people should always check the amount.

    I went there the other day to pick up a take away. It had been closed down on the spot by environmental health. Was rather shocked as had only been there the week before for a TA

    PPL keep billing me ?1800. They joys of having high ceilings!:)

  7. Agreed @IanSE22. But it?s not just the rents. Business rates are a killer and are based on the rental value of the premises, so in East Dulwich they just keep going up as well. Miss one payment instalment or part of, with Southwark Council and it is straight to the Magistrates Court, extra costs and a potential visit from the bailiffs. Just to play music in a shop can cost up to ?2,000 a year in licence royalty fees.


    Banks are now very reluctant to allow landlords to lease shops to independents unless they have an established history of trading. They view them as too high risk to enable the landlords to pay their interest commitments. In the short term in East Dulwich I am sure that shops will be rented out when they become available, however I am not so sure about the long term look of the high St.

  8. In the last year Southwark Council have issues 1,176 tickets to motorists using bus lanes. Of that 978 were issued in East Dulwich, the remaining 198 was the total for the rest of the Borough.


    The bus lane on Lordship Lane has netted over ?60,000 for Southwark Council in fines to motorists in the last year. Who knows how must extra they have got for other parking tickets. CCTV vehicles are only used for bus lane infringements in East Dulwich, not the rest of the borough.


    Southwark Council are treating East Dulwich as a cash cow. 83% of tickets issued!!!


    Remember that next time you go to the local ballot box.

  9. An ?un-official and un-scientific? review of the premises on Lordship Lane from Goose Green to the Police Station (excluding North Cross Road) has identified the following usage of space:


    Retail Shops 53%

    Bars, Restaurants & Take Away 25%

    Estate Agents 13%

    Banks, PO, Office, Other 9%


    If you include business?s on the side streets off Lordship Lane then the ratio for retail space in nearer to 60%.
