At least they'd have Waitrose and M&S in Croydon.

I'm not a snob, have lived in the area for 29 years except for 1 year when I moved away but have come back to good old South East London and love it, I don't think Iceland is unsuitable for East Dulwich but I would never shop there. I haven't been into an Iceland since I was about 7yrs old and dragged there by my Mum and from what I remember it was all frozen junk food but I may be wrong now, perhaps I will pop in and see how it's changed! I do an Ocado shop because they do Tesco price match and I can't always be bothered to drive to the Beckenham branch of Waitrose. Generally the choice of food is much better in Waitrose and for someone who cooks a lot I can never get all the ingredients I need in Sainsburys also it's a less stressful shop in Waitrose for many reasons. My suggestion would be to leave Iceland where it is for the people who want and replace Foxtons with a Waitrose!
I totally agree with DJKQ, there are some people on low income in ED that might shop at Iceland I myself like to mix and match my shops nothing wrong with that ED it not just for the middle classes to decide what shops should be here, my grandparents came here in the 50s from the Caribbean no doubt there are others to all over ED if anybody should have any objections is that generation.

If you want an area without an Iceland in it, f**k off somewhere else :))

Eh? Three bottles for a tenner? Don't think "most supermarkets" can beat that :)


I think Iceland's wine is fine for the price - it's cheap plonk obviously, but it's not undrinkable.


Lidl might be OK but having to trek down to the bottom of Bellenden Road to get there is not much fun unless you live in that direction.


ETA: I once had some sort of fake Baileys from Lidl, and it was absolutely disgusting.

Did you know that in Primark you are not actually permitted to buy things? You are only to take them off the shelf, have a look at them and then throw them on the ground with the hanger or try and force them back into the middle of the pile you took them off, messing everything up ;)

what wines were they?


Don't ever join Naked Wines, rip-off disguised as charitable enterprise for budding winemakers.

According to recent tv adds,Waitrose is no more expensive than Tesco for named brands.


That's food for thought! To be honest Iceland always seems half empty and I woudn't be a bit surprised if it does close down. Lets face it most people in ED would like to see the back of shops like that. Its just plain snobbery.

Who are 'most people in ED'? Would these be the people who have lived her since before LL started to get tarted up or those who moved in because of it? It's clear that enough people do shop there or it simply wouldn't be there.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
