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?

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
