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.

Pehaps you can see the garden with a telescope from the roof.. :)

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.

    • https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14774205/Urgent-warning-opioid-deaths-Met-Police-pills-heroin-nightclubs.html?ito=email_share_article-top   I'm sharing this article to help to spread the word about these new deadly synthetic opioids called Nitazenes which are finding their way onto the drug scene.  Two more young lives lost last weekend in young people at a South London club.    Most people I talk to have never heard of Nitazenes which are being used as contaminants in a number of other drugs including sleeping pills like valium and Xanax, oxycodone but have also been found in vapes and sedative antihistamines and cocaine.  So people buying sleeping tablets and other substances have no idea of the risk they are taking.  This is a relatively new trend and the number of deaths is on the increase.  Do discuss it with your teenagers and young adult children and anyone you know tempted to purchase sleeping tablets online.  It really is a much more dangerous and potentially lethal time to buy tablets online or on the street and hopefully knowledge of Nitazenes can help people protect themselves.  This stuff is in London and no doubt, is already in Dulwich so do spread the word.     
    • The link is showing the real link to the East Dulwich Forum that Joe on here set up.  https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DanoiLd48/?mibextid=wwXIfr East Dulwich Mums is my group and is not a spin off from this group. I have no connection to the other EDF Facebook group and nor do I promote any cleaning services. My group is very well run thank you and your information is incorrect.  No, that is the new Facebook group that the admin on here has set up.  Joe does need to turn the settings on that group to pre approval for all posts as there is a lot of posts on there that isn’t relevant.
