Being a nosey parker with an irrational hatred of empty shops, I am intrigued by the first few signs of life in a few empty premises on LL/NX Rd. Anyone have any inside info about the following?


Old Woolwich near crossing by Londis: A new boarded-up door has appeared! Can this mean something???

Old Chopsticks on LL: Definitely saw someone working there the other day... Anyone know who's taken it on?

Old offices opp. Blue Mountain Cafe on NX Rd: I see a 'Sold' sign has gone up. Am pathetically excited at the prospect this might become a shop or shops as it's such a big site. Anyone heard who's bought/rented it?

Premises next to flower shop near Goose Green: Is this still to be a dentist? It's taking forever.

Old stationer's near Goose Green: I gather from elsewhere on the forum this is to be a second-hand clothes shop? Can anyone confirm this?

Old Threshers shop on LL: Sadly, no signs of life in this one at all... Ditto the old video shop, presumably too early to know who's taking on this premises yet (if anyone).


Anyone know of any others?

My understanding is it is to be a veggie restaurant connected to SMBS. There is new signange in place, hidden by a canvas

This is correct

Video shop is on a VERY expensive lease ? suspect it will be a chain if anything

Not LL/NX, but there were builders clearing out the shop on the corner of Forest Hill Road and Dunstans Road (next to William Hill) this morning. That shop's been empty for ages, so will be interesting to see what, if anything, happens on the site.

SMacG is correct about Chopsticks. Mrs Kford heard from the SMBS boys that they will be turning it into a veggie/organic curry house.


The stationers is to be a high-end second-hand clothes shop.


Heard that the old offices are to be a Jack Wills White Stuff-type shop. I think I heard that on here though, so read into that what you will.

xxxxxxx


I just can't express how absolutely horrified I am to hear this, given that I will have to pass it virtually every day :-S


Praying it's not true :-S

Do you mean the Blue Brick Cafe on Fellbrigg Road? Yes, how funny there'll be two veggie cafes opening so close together. Good to hear that SMBS has taken over the old Chopsticks site.


Interesting about the old offices on NX Rd - I'll be sad to see a chain move in to that street. But it all sounds rather unconfirmed so I guess it's a bit early to bring out my protest placards.


And hooray for a 'high-end' second-hand clothes shop! We wouldn't want just any old second-hand clothes in ED after all...

My mother was annoyed to find that clothes from Her Era (60s) are now vintage, and stuff that she thought was vintage (20s/30s) is now considered antique..

would love a decent menswear shop to fill one of these places, bit gutted to hear the blue brick cafe will no longer be a breakfast type caff, they did a great fry up, interested to see what the new place will be like though - I have to say though it seems a bit of a rubbish location for a restaurant though, can't imagine them getting much walk in business

I was surprised to discover the other day that the homeware part of Mrs Robinson has a little menswear section at the back of the shop - think this is new? Not cheap, but looked like a decent selection. And Ed is pretty good for men's clothes.

      Herne Hill School and Dulwich Prep

      By Nikn · Posted

      Hi everyone, we are trying to finslise our decision for enrolling our son for 3+ from September and currently considering Dulwich Prep or Herne Hill. We like both and appreciate there is no right or wrong answer but what we like about HH is great focus on early years and also being coed. However if we can avoid the 7+ stress then prefer to do that. Dulwich Prep is closer but the difference is not significant. we know children are very active and busy in DP and they have great facilities, but unlike HH, we don’t know much about their focus on personal development and emotional intelligence, etc! Also not sure about long-term impact of being in boys only school. Difficult decision for us and we appreciate feedback from parents if you can share please.    thank you

      Thames Water - water meters

      By QueenMab · Posted

      Yeah that was their old policy. Their new policy is to force you to have a water meter and if you refuse they put you on a punitively high tariff which effectively forces you to have one. I was doing well with my policy of polite resistance which was to say yes fine I'll have one fitted but then not actually book an appointment or cancel the appointments they made. But then I was persuaded that it would be much cheaper anyway.

      Lilac shrub cutting?

      By Karen · Posted

      Lots of lovely lilac shrubs in flower at the moment. Would anyone consider giving me a cutting? It would involve digging out a basal off shoot, roots and all. I'd love one for my new garden but I'm so broke that I have to fill it with plants the slow way!
