My old mum was a fan of M&S in Bromley.. She did not have a lot of money. Iv'e still got some of the old black canvas M&S bags...


But I simply must pay them a visit with some Iceland bags.. after the initial histeria has died down.


When Tescos used to give points for each bag you brought with you.. They refused points because I had some Sainsburys bags.


The new store might be wake up call for the dreadful Co-Op to make some changes..

it's a picture of the Dulwich Picture Gallery gardens - why they've used that in the photo list I've no idea!

Hi there


I couldn't find any info about bookings at the hotel on that link and I may need to book a few rooms for relatives around the beginning of September. Do you have another link?


Thanks

Yes - the 750k must buy you a bit of Dulwich Picture Gallery. It probably comes out of the 200k above market you are paying for the apartment.

A casual walk down NCR this afternoon left me with the awful realisation that the once local Iceland landmark had been covered in disgusting scaffolding with huge grey RSJ's jutting out from the roof. What an awful ugly overbuild for a residential neighborhood, soon to possibly be joined by another over development opposite. This is similar to when some once grade two listed buildings in Camberwell were pulled down to build flats. Totally out of character with the neighborhood. Very sad.

Well, the building was no grade II listed gem. It was a rather unattractive mid century development.


Post redevelopment it is one floor taller and has converted the office use above the shop to residential space in addition to adding in the new floors. Adding that floor might arguably be over-development but let's not pretend that the building was something it wasn't.

LM some of the finest architectural treats aren't necessarily grade 2 listed. Much like the old St Mary's Road Church in Nunhead was, or the swimming pool building inside crystal palace park, this particular gem on LL was a landmark many of my generation can remember being built.


The former Iceland building started life as Tesco, then became Bejams, which was taken over by the Iceland group in the early 1990's. That building has been a monument to 20th century architecture, a stunning embodiment of everything that is and was ED. The current overhaul of it's look seems like an attempt to wipe its history away and pretend that it's a new building with a new glossy retail unit at the bottom alongside numerous expensive flats above.


Architectural folly, destroying a gem to create a faceless corporate design. All the worst traits of globalisation and capitalism combined.

    • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Support from No-Files – A Truly Exceptional Experience I want to extend a huge thank you to Tony at No-Files Estate Agents for his incredible help and unwavering support over the past 10 months. My flat sale was far from straightforward, and I truly don’t think I’d be in my new home today without him. The process was made extremely difficult by solicitors who were unprofessional, unresponsive, and at times, outright rude. They refused to communicate with each other, which caused significant delays and confusion throughout the chain. Tony became the key point of contact between four people in the chain and the other estate agent, constantly stepping in to manage communication and keep things moving. The situation became so complex that all parties were forced to exchange and complete on the same day. Despite all three buyers and sellers having removal vans booked and packed, one solicitor refused to answer calls and only sent a single email at 3:55pm making it impossible for anyone to move that day. This caused unnecessary stress and cost for everyone involved and we all live for weeks with a flat with all my items packed away. To make matters worse, my mortgage offer—along with the offers for others in the chain—was expiring. Solicitors offered no guidance and simply suggested reapplying, with no clear timeline or confidence in the process. Throughout it all, Tony remained calm, communicative, and supportive. He was the only person I could rely on to explain what was happening, keep everyone in the loop, and offer reassurance during moments when I felt completely overwhelmed. His professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference. I am so grateful I chose No-Files. Although I’m sad to have moved out of the area and may not be able to use them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them. If you're looking for an estate agent who is professional, honest, transparent, and truly goes above and beyond—No-Files and Tony are exactly who you need. Thank you again, Tony — I truly couldn’t have done this without you! May 2025  Andrea
