werdna101 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 My girlfriend and I were talking about shops and businesses on Lordship Lane (and ED in general) - she was saying that it pretty much perfect and she couldn't really think of other shops etc to add in that would make it a lot better.I disagreed! I think it's lacking something in terms of shops and businesses, but can't put my finger on what.Thought I'd ask people's opinions so I can steal the good ones and win the argument!What shops/businesses do people think ED is making that would make it better?

Loz Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 For years the obvious answers were a butcher and a fishmonger, but they've popped up now. So nowadays, the most likely answer you will get is either Waitrose or M&S Food.

werdna101 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 We were thinking more shops. One that sprang to my mind was a good men's clothes shop. Any other gaps?

Sue Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Is that men's clothes shop that used to be between the petrol station and the station (on the petrol station side of the road) not there any more?

Fliss Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Werdna101 - My husband was looking to buy a white shirt (to wear under a suit) recently. He was convinced there would be a shop on Lordship Lane which would have one! He got one in Sainsbury's on Dog Kennel Hill in the end - not the best shirt ever, but good for the purpose and very reasonably priced. I would guess that people who work in the City buy their shirts up there, not locally. There is White Stuff for casual men's clothes.
