It should reopen as an old electrecical shop, selling old electricals.

For the youngsters, colour televisions, Stylophones, power-driven whisks and music centres, I mean where the flip else are we going to play our Dolby cassettes?


There could also be a section for Dansette disc players, Teasmades and top-loading washing machines.

We'll need the washing machine for our threads after frugging and grooving to the sounds of the Dansette, sweaty we'll be.

Cup o' tea wouldn't go amiss neither.

I think it is probably because people live above it, which makes it very difficult. Late night noise etc. I agree it is a wonderful old space. Does anyone want to open something in Herne Hill? Contact me if you are serious as I have some options up my sleeve ......
The shop has been empty for years and I remember a while back the lease was sold and then put back on the market as they could use the premises for food/drinks.... maybe has something to do with the cafe on the common? What ever they do with it hoe the old shop front stays the same since it retains its Victorian charm....

There was a recent application to change it into a cafe/restaurant but this was turned down. I think the primary concern was pressure on parking but there were also concerns expressed by residents about noise and I think there was a ventilation duct that wasn't considered very sympathetic to the design of the building (this predates me as a councillor so apologies that I'm not 100% sure of the details...)


I understand from council officers that a new application has been submitted. It should be on the planning section of the council website shortly.

The latest planning application says:


Details of planning application - 10/AP/1123


Change of use of the ground floor retail unit (A1) and the ancillary office use (B1) to a restaurant (A3) with a community room (D1) for meetings and local artist display function. Extraction duct to be erected on the north elevation. Entrance door to be installed.


Sounds good and it'll be interesting to see if it gets through this time round.

I thought I saw Lord Sugar appropriately in Lordship Lane (I lie)


Maybe he'll go back to his roots.

It's rachel here tom's partner. I can't wait for this to open, I live in the gardens and always thought it should be a cafe. I've been fantasizing about strolling down with me paper of a Sunday. I talked to one of the builders and he said there's not going to be a kitchen there which seems weird. I hope it's going to do more than soup and quiche etc, if its just food prep and not cooking, how is it going to be different from the cafe on the rye or homemade...? we shall see. anyone know an opening date?

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
