But if Boots opened, then not only would Lordship Lane start to resemble every other high street in the country (with Cafe Nero and White Stuff being the thin end of the wedge), but all the other pharmacists in ED would probably close.


Personally I think that would detract from the individual feel of the area.


And assuming you mean a shop selling vinyl, CDs etc rather than sheet music (there is already a music shop, on the way to the station), I can't imagine it would be able to make a profit when more and more people are buying their music via downloads.


I know the Dream Machine was somewhat limited in its stock, but if more people had bought things from there then maybe we would still have a music shop in ED because it would have had money to buy a more extensive range of stuff.

Strange list of requests. Rye Lane has a lot of the above so see no need for same thing on LL. There are a few Italians in ED, Local and Si Mangia plus some in Honor Oak.

Could do with a good Italian trattoria, something nice and homey with huge traditional plates of pasta and a serviceable bar. I have to travel quite a way to find a good one. Only good/local Italian places I know of are Luigi's, which is down in Gypsy Hill (and not exactly low-key), and Il Mirto, which is nice for a casual bite or quick dinner but has no bar/licence and not so comfy for a proper, dim-lit evening meal.


I would quite like a Superdrug. The various chemists are okay but no use for an emergency make-up fix!

A really good Indian vegetarian canteen/restaurant-there are so mant Indian restaurants & non terribly good. There are so many customers who buy health, organic & veggy food in the area I think this would be real popular...also it would be nice to see it designed India style rather than looking like every other cafe does on L'ship Lane..

Karter - it has to be on Lordship Lane or what? It's no good to you. Too far to walk?


I mean, none of them is Michelin star, but we have Italian restaurants.


Si Mangia on Forest Hill Rd

Il Mirto on Melbourne Gr

Casa Smerelda on the way to Nunhead

Locale on East Dulwich Road

What used to be Peckham Experiment is going to be an Italian pizzeria

The Gowlett do great pizzas

Il Giardino opposite Peckham Rye station


Now all of those are within walking distance from anywhere in ED....what gives with the constant calls for more bloody Italian restaurants?

There's also a nail bar just before East Dulwich Station (coming from Goose Green).

:))


Google it, it's a record shop, honestly :))


Rough Trade


ETA: It's right next to the Big Chill Bar in Dray Walk off Brick Lane. It has a good folk section, too :)-D


ETA: PRESS RELEASE

At a time when record stores are disappearing faster than the polar bear population, Rough Trade sticks two fingers up at climate change with the opening of the UK?s largest record shop.


As ever, we?re here to champion the fledgling artist as much as those already established, so even if you haven?t got a distribution deal, we want to sell your record? we? might even let you perform in-store on our Peavey equipped live stage.


There?s even a ?snug? area with free wireless internet connection for all you hot desk jockeys, for a more creative workspace. It will also be the focus of a programme of regular shop events which you can get involved in, watch this space, there is some pretty awesome stuff coming up! Plus the surrounding walls provide a dedicated gallery space for music inspired exhibitions by talented customers seeking that first moment of recognition.


To celebrate the opening of Rough Trade East, we?re busy putting together a month-long calendar of special in-store events. With a typical enthusiasm for the old and new, expect a carefully selected handful of top-secret artist performances.


Whether you're an new band looking for a shot at playing in-store alongside some of the biggest bands in the world, an avid record collector, or just an information buff who needs to know exactly what's going on before everyone else... this is the place to be!

Missus I agree wholeheartedly.. And would add

a) a good shoe shop, NOT a crappy chain (Dolcis...urrrrrghhh) but one that sells a good selection from the brands like Office/Poste Mistress/ and maybe some like Kurt Geiger/Carvela etc

b) a good sports shop, as others have said - the triathlon shop folk are nice but the selection isn't exactly massive.

c) did I mention Space NK ??? :-)

No.


No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.


The delight of LL is the lack of high street names. Very much a rarity in a decent-sized shopping street these days.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
