Empty Shops

[PollyG]

I'm sure this has been covered before but I couldn't see anything very recent- any developments with what is happening with Golden City (Landcroft/Whateley corner) or the printers on the corner of Ryedale/Forest Hill Road?

[Mick Mac]

It seems the old shop unit next to William Rose has a sold sign - that might not be news, but it was to me.

[Nigello]

There is some kind of revamp going on at a shop near to Peddler/Spike coffee shop on Peckham Rye but I do not know what it used to be or will be. It has paper covering up the windows. Anyone have any ideas?

The charity shop at 405 Lordship Lane, almost opposite Dulwich Library had gone and is now a junk/antique shop. Some interesting stuff

Crikey, that was quick!

It was still a charity shop when I passed it on the bus the other day!

The exciting, all happening world that is ED

Walked past Pretty's on North Cross Road earlier today and apparently that's going to be a French restaurant opening in about 8 weeks time...

[Louisa]

That's great news Polly. I do hope its as good as Le Moulin was.

There's been a bit of action at the site of Le Moulin (near to The Plough) but still no real clue as to when it will open (as a restaurant).

[Louisa]

Nigello it depresses me every time I walk or drive past. So many happy memories of friends, drinking after a beautifully cooked meal with Margaret and Eric into the late hours. Very happy days. To see it empty does this stretch of shops a total disservice. Sort it out whoever owns it please.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I do hope you both are enjoying your retirement. You're very dearly missed around here by me and many others. A truly authentic taste of France in the heart of ED.

I liked the food (and the people), but I think "authentic taste of France" is pushing it a bit.

[Jah Lush]

Ha ha. Agreed Jeremy.

Empty Shops are good for Conversation .. Speculation... What will it be... when will it be..

Can't wait.

Dear All

its amazing to see the speculation about the former Le Moulin.

it has been a very long and hard redevelopment of the building itself from the basement up as at one point you could see the sky , with lots of blood sweat and tears and a great effort going into the venue we are finalising many little final but important points before we open.

if you google the name of Victus & Bibo you will find a great deal of information about us and style of food we offer without giving too much away as it will be obviously worlds apart from our usual but offering snippets of this and of course in a different environment.

watch this space and we look forward to seeing you all within the next couple of months once we open.

Thanks

Victus & Bibo

speculation- in Lordship Lane- it's either going to be food or an estate agent.

[Louisa]

I do hope you do well, the previous tenants were incredible and it will be asking a lot to live upto. Le Moulin was a very well respected local establishment with a loyal following. Still very much missed. Glad to hear the site will be back in use.

South London music at grove vale. ,Is moving into Wolfe and Scott school uniform shop which is now vacant .

[Victus&Bibo]

Hi Louisa

thanks for your response, after being the freeholders of the building for the last 3-4 decades we too were very fond of Le Moulin especially being part of the creation in the beginning and customers there after. We hope to bring something very fresh, new and exciting to Lordship Lane that in turn can earn the respect and loyal custom that Le Moulin had acquired being a family run buisness.

we were also as a family one of the very first hairdressers on Lordship Lane located next door (which is now re-located further down into Lordship Lane) before this became the Chinese takeaway so we are very emotionally attached to Dulwich and Lordship Lane and thrive on providing a personal friendly service that is second to none so we are excited to open our doors and welcome every customer with a big smile :)

Thanks

Victus & Bibo

Looks like the Golden City ex-chippie has just been sold pre-auction by Savilles!

[singalto]

I'm glad to hear it as it has been closed for more than 20 years!

[Sue]

So what is happening at the old Le Moulin site now?

All seems to have gone quiet after the initial excitement.

[Mick Mac]

The Irish Shop has been painted white....

[Abe_froeman]

Still not much going on here it seems.

[lavender27]

I'm glad the cat and kittens were rescued underneath the floorboards of the old chippy.
