Hi all, I am part of the Autumn Babies club 2016 and loved it so thoroughly recommend!

We have also recently set up a blog and Twitter account to share all of our crazy stories and advice if you live in the Peckham Dulwich area. Good pubs with changing facilities, good events etc.

@peckhamparent on Twitter


I hope it helps you and feel free to ask for any advice!

Hello, I have been a member here for ages and can't believe I haven't heard about this group sooner. I am due 24th July with my first baby and would love to meet mums to be in ED! Could I please be added to the WhatsApp Group? Thank you and look forward to meeting you all :)

Hello Summer Babies Parents,


I hope you don't mind me jumping in. I'm a local mum who was a member of one of these groups not so long ago. I've now started a small business selling frozen home-cooked meals for kids. Ideal for second- (or third-...!) time mums who are busy looking after newborns and have a toddler to feed as well. Everything is cooked from scratch in my home kitchen and delivered to you (in SE22 and SE24).


If you'd like to find out more, please visit www.mothersgrub.co.uk. And if you'd like to try a free pot, just PM me or e-mail through the website.


Wishing you all the very best with your new babies.

Hi,

I am messaging from Tommy's, the pregnancy health charity. We are working on a new pregnancy health message/campaign that is directly related to the third trimester, and is based on new research.


We need women on Monday to give us feedback.


We are offering ?30 per person thank you for your time and travel. It's at our office on Cannon Street (train to London Bridge station, walk across the bridge). If anyone thinks they can make it please email me on [email protected].


Thank you!

Deirdre

    • 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" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
