I really hope they can make a go of it. I expect the rent for that site is pretty high these days and there's not much [ET correct predictive sp] profit in craft materials. It would be great if they also do workshops as no doubt there are a lot of people who'd be interested.

That "sorely missed" deli scored very low in the hygiene ratings. I seem to remember only "1".

Good luck to this new craft shop. I don't miss the deli place one bit, it was the catalyst for the areas change, replacing a much loved second hand shop, which incidentally I still miss. At least this new place will be useable. We need a high street which offers retail diversity and I welcome this addition.

NewWave - I went in twice also, as the first time I thought I was mistaken, they could not possibly be so ignorant? ventured in again looking for Italian cake and Serrano ham and other goodies : we walked in and greeted the behind counter staff - no response - went through to the adjoining section - felt so uncomfortable we left. And certainly do not miss it.



A craft shop, especially if they run courses will do well, as Louisa points out, we need retail diversity, and it seems as though we are going to get it!

Well .. when it comes to The E.D. Deli.. Mr. Fox, you know the miserable (old) git.. most negative poster here on EDF

has to say that on the few times I used this place they could NOT of been more helpful.


I was looking for Low G.I. bread and was treated to an in depth chat about their breads and what might be the best for my needs.


I had other similar experiances at other times but cannot recal them specifically.


Perhaps other people felt 'neglected' while I held their attention.


When you talk to people.. and take an interest in what they are doing, they treat you with respect..


I wish the new Shop all the very best.. I think they too will be a valuable addition to L.L.

I quite liked ED deli. The service did seem slightly abrupt at times... always just assumed it was because they were rushed in there. But anyway, we have other deli places including Cheese Block, General Store (Peckham), "Organic Village", and even M&S might have a reasonable selection of bits of pieces. So I think we'll survive. Hope the new place does well.

The ED Deli was a real oasis back in 2002, I remember. Their brownies are sadly missed, though I agree the service was a bit chilly in recent years (thought it was just me so good to know others felt the same). Several times I walked out in sheer irritation at being ignored for ages. SMBS seems to be going the same way.


Always interesting to hear who actually uses which shops. I've never understood how the Coop keeps going but someone must like it.


Back on topic, I'd like it if the craft shop did some crochet workshops.

I can't say 'craft shop' fills me with tremendous excitement, but anything that isn't an estate agent or identikit curry house is good news. Hopefully it will return The Spirit Of Ralon back to LL - with CCTV, tripwires and a machine gun nest guarding the Staedtler pen carousel.

Lidl do a low GI multigrain loaf which is delicious and sells quickly.

I doubt you will have as much attention as in the ED deli



A craft shop is restoring independents to our high street,

a counter balance to the changeling behemoth now in our midst.

Its one chain replacing another chain (I assume you mean M&S). Nothing has changed except M&S is slightly more upmarket. But let's not exaggerate: Eltham and Brixton both have M&S's as o many other locations in South London. I don't think its nearly as upmarket as some people seem to suggest.

    • I dont get complaining if nothing is broken? If you dont like the parcel service just buy your products elsewhere which ship with a different company. simple fix🤷‍♀️
    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
