They did. I rented Jean-Luc Godard's "Week End" from there once. That's been out of circulation for years. I'm really sad to see it go, they had a really good back catalogue.

Indeed, although I've been curious as to why that stays empty for so long. The video shop's only what 50 yards away from I guess - I just looked at google streetview and the shop next to the video shop's empty - what's in there now as I can't remember?


There's a whole thread on what ED needs on here and that's a decent sized shop with I'm sure a decent size rent - it'll be interesting to see how the real world fills this one, as well as the stationers and the one next to the Co-op.


My vote is for a car dealer, plenty of pavement there eh? ;-)

I respectfully disagree about Our Price JCTG.

Know the price of everything and the value of nothing seems to be their mission statement/philosophy/paraphrased Irish writer quote.

They should really emblazon it across their LP carrier bags.

But they probably won't, what with them being breadheads and everything.


All in all, a Wimpy Bar would be the best local facility.

Seriously, I could murder a Chocolate Bowler right now.

No BookHopper, you're not. What's the opposite of serious? That's what you're being.


You're a bit of an ol' mischief is what you are.


Press for a Wimpy Bar though and I can guarantee to throw considerable support behind you.

An offer, I assure you comes with a Chocolate Bowler should the good people of the Wimpy family achieve their Lordship Lane ambitions.

Glad you agree about the Wimpy BH, it would be a fine addition to the locality.

Of course I know NOTHING about your good self and I meant nothing more than a mildish nudge-in-the-ribs jest.

No offence.

      Indoor market in East Dulwich - Would you be interested?

      By NewWave · Posted

      I would love something like this..I remember the one where Gails is now..It had some bric a brac furniture and 2nd hand clothes, I don't remeber the Oyster bar. The issue with the one on Zenoria St-And I speak as a long time habitué of Portobello, Kensington Market, Alfies,Spitalfields,Covent Garden (back when it had a decent vintage market on Mondays in the 80's and Early 90's) ..Was that a lot of the stuff they sold looked a bit meh..like a bad car boot fair. I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff. I think the secret is in having a good mix of stalls selling well curated pieces at decent prices...It would also be good to have a few tables and rails available to rent for one-off sellers (car boot style) by application. When I lived in Notting Hill I used to do Portobello under the flyover a couple of times a year and made really decent money because people tended to go there on sundays for the Casual stallholders rather the same dealers selling the same stuff.

      I don't think so, sadly. The Zenoria Street indoor market failed to take off and generally speaking traders at Christmas Fairs and Farmers Markets are reporting that it isn't worth their while now. If you go to North Cross Road, the vast majority of visitors are only buying the street food! It was the same when I went to the Horniman Sunday market and second hand market yesterday. With the lack of footfall I couldn't understand how any of the traders could be making any money.
