I would have thought so ? amazed it (and any other video shop) has stayed open so long. Not enough people in 2010 fancy travelling to a shop for a film and then have to take it back


Quite a decent size space for whatever replaces it mind

why shame on the LoveFilmers?


Legally Downloading/Streaming films is going to be the main supply of video content very very soon. There is no way videoshops can stay in business. You may as well complain about there not being enough telegraph companies these days

Oh no! I go there to use their computers! I do have a PC at home, but I have Windows XP on it and sometimes I need to use Word. The computers at the library are horrible - or at least they were last time I used them, before I discovered the far better computers at Prime Time. I agree that it's a shame it's closing, but I was just remarking to my husband at the weekend that it seems cheaper to buy DVDs than rent them these days.

They were friendly, but at the end of the day, shame on Blockbuster, Apollo et al who have been charging ?4 a night rental, with punitive fines if you're late returning your scratched and skipping DVD. They even latched onto the cybercafe idea 10 years too late.


LoveFilm and X-Torrent etc are doing so well because they've seen that the market's changed completely.

One thing I did like about that shop was they had comparatively huge selection of foreign films, with many a gem in there. But it seems obvious after multiple rebrands/owners in recent years that the oepration was being run down


The Alien/Predator thing was one of my first thoughts as well GG

I stopped renting movies form shops years ago. From Lovefilm you have a massive collection to choose from, it's cheap and no late fees...all delivered to your door. How can any store compete with that?...well they can't.


Would like to see a 'Poundland' in it's place ;-)

Waitrose would be nice.


Or we get a new 'Super-Pub' with the loudness and late licence of Adventure Bar...striking fear of god

into people.

    • I reccomend Crab Salad-I used to have my hair cut by the owner when he was at Blue tit in Peckham...I moved with him to Cs when he opened it. I've had other stylists there when he was'nt available on the date I could make and they're all excellent. Its a nice vibe too-just very relaxed not too 'hairdressery' (If you know what I mean) and I've reccomended it to neighbours and colleages who've all been very happy. Its not the cheapest but nor is it super pricey and they use good products too.
    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
