The park is very close to the Maudsley ,so I guess this may have been someone with mental health issues ,or substance abuse .

I love the paddling pool in this park ,but otherwise just find it incredibly depressing .

Though handy to take inpatients at Kings for some fresh( ish ) air .

I agree...some lovely mature trees...full of squirrels (including an albino)...


And Quids, I haven't seen anyone crapping in a public park either...but then I've had a sheltered life...

really? Wow. I love Ruskin Park. Much better playground than anything I've found in ED, and the paddling pool is top. Besides, sometimes you get to meet the Quidses there.

Given the public funding cut backs it could be that there will be alot more public poo-age required.


Although pooing on the footpath is a bit rum. Having a dump on one of the flower borders would have been less unsightly and would have provided nutrients to the plants.

we like it too, may be the new goose green will be better (if and when they manage to finish it) but the playground certainly beats e.g. dulwich park or peckham rye in the eyes of my children

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
