Just found this on the planning portal. The existing newsagent at 100 Lordship Lane, 'ED Local', looks like it will be sharing the space with a branch of Subway aka 'eat fresh'. Guessing it will be a franchise? What does everyone think? Welcome addition? Will be handy if it's open late for the post night life crowd wanting a snack on the way home.

I'd leave out the "borderline" :)


And damn, I too thought we were getting a subway under the road! Maybe at that nasty junction opposite The Bishop,!

Can't say the thought excites me but ED, like a lot of gentrified London, has become a place of two parallel lifestyles and there are plenty of people who will probably find it more to their liking and their pocket than W Rose, Moxon's or Franklins.
Their bread is rubbish- they must have employed someone to investigate how much air you can pump into bread before it collapses....also- what is that horrible sour smell in their shops...I have been in several with other people and they all smell weird?

I think you're kind of missing the point. It's not competing with Boulangerie Jade or Brick House... it's more of an alternative to fried chicken or a kebab.

Everything on the menu is 'reformed meat'.


You'd do far better getting a lamb or chicken wrap from Kebab and Wine, or felafel, for a similar price.

The 12" meatball marinara contains more salt than the recommended daily total for an adult, 42 grams of fat (18g saturated, almost 100% RDA for adult women) and over 1000 calories. Never eaten anything from them myself but friends who have tell me it's actually pretty revolting too!

They might not have very healthy components to their offering, but I reckon almost all local food options - including the new MEATLiqour and Franco Manca, are not exactly 'healthy', cheese, fatty meats, bread bases. When you're on a budget something like Subway is a good addition compared to fried chicken and greasy kebabs, the other local budget options. At least it contains salad.

A shish, potentially. But not a doner, no way. K&W don't do falafel.

    • Another excellent article from Jim Waterson's London Centric reporting https://www.londoncentric.media/p/kitchen-foil-and-algerian-markets?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Interesting that there seem to be favoured and repeated routes for phone snatching for particular thieves.  Seems ED might be one of them ☹️
    • Anywhere near the Overground/Windrush due to its excellent transport links.  You will get larger place in SE23 for example that will give you enough spare cash for private school if that's what you really want but states schools generally good, reflecting the demographic  Easy to get to the bustling streets of East Dulwich but in ten years see what happens to Forest Hill centre.  The whole of the area is full of green spaces. Access to East Croydon for days out in the South Coast   
    • Could East Dulwich or Forest Hill work? Some properties on Underhill Road and Wood Vale have large gardens e.g.  https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/161079866#/?channel=RES_BUY  You'd be close to the Horniman, Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye. Transport might not be what you're looking for though e.g. a 15 minute walk to Forest Hill station for the East London line or mainline into London Bridge.
    • I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't.
