Best avoid crowds. I don't know how this TV documentary panned out, but it doesn't sound good.

I know the question - and the whole thread (actually maybe even the whole forum) - is a piss take. But, it is a French cheese shop, with only a couple of exceptions, (i.e Parmesan and Cheddar).


So no Shropshire Blue. But they might have another cows milk blue cheese.


If you want British cheeses, you should go to the Cheese Block.

Are you sure it's just French cheese? The shop had a whiff of German efficiency last time I walked past.

Yes, but in Mon's, their Cheddar has a silent 'r'....

      Love Dulwich Restaurant

      The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
