For Rent: Lovely room in friendly houseshare in East Dulwich


Clare-Bear

Recommended Posts

We have a furnished room going in our great sharing houseshare on Melbourne Grove. We are looking for someone from end March to mid April (a bit flexible).


We have a shared house account and buy and share our mainly vegetarian food together. We love veg boxes, bicycles and good music. There is a garden for growing things in spring, brunches in the South London sun and bonfires in the winter. It?s really important that we get along with whoever moves in and that he/she is happy to participate in the life of the house.


We are four at the moment, Clare (climber, foodcoop organiser), Sean (excellent cook, hill walker), Alice (moving out) and Ralph (adventure cycle tourer). Services we offer for other housemates: Ralph can build a wheel and always hunts for good bread. Clare knows all the best runs in the area, Sean makes the best ottolenghi food. We have two fluent French and somewhat fluent Spanish speakers - keen on language sharing, foreign movies :-)


The house has 4 bedrooms, a large living room, good sized kitchen and a garden (with a garage in it where we can store bicycles). The room is 510 Pounds plus about 140 for all bills and food and even Sean?s homemade marmalade.


Please get in touch if you'd like to see the room.

    • 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.
