Perhaps an Estate Agent specializing in Empty Shops

Quite right Dulwich fox you can't have too much choice,


when it is finally all estate agents they will all go out of business,


because there'll be no reason to shop there, an irony I suspect.



I guess this is an example of how few business oportunities for the entrepreneur in the high street.

Is there any kind of local community - chamber of commerce that acts as a collective in their dealings with the landlords of these premesis on the lane?


Notwithstanding the possible issues associated with Threshers being or having been through administration, one assumes the landlords would be open minded to cheaper terms rather than no tennatns. Of course LS lane is not immune to the macro economic issues, but with such positive feelings in general terms to the gentrification of E Dulwich, this is a potential major banana skin that few of us would benefoit from should it accelerate.

the woolwich site is to be yet another estate agent (thought there was a slowdown in house sales). threshers has a really loony lease condition. it can only be an offie and the flat upstairs must be occupied by the manager. the freeholder is, I gather around 100 years old and clearlt in a world of his own. tannas is attracting internest, but the rent is around ?27k and the rates etc bring it up to some ?32k. you need to sell a lot of anything to make a profit there.

southside73, there is the ssba (South Southwark Business Association) for traders, landlords, professionals, etc, that replaced the other local association a couple of years ago.


In memory of macRoban-


Mens Clothes shop at The Vale, freehold shop for sale around ?100k or to let. Talk to Hindwoods.


Threshers- Apparently rent is now being paid again and the landlord only wants this place to be a wine shop. How strange.


Tanna Chemist ?28k p.a ground floor only, talk to Hindwoods. (Sean and you think the video shop is expensive)


Old video shop around ?60k p.a. This would make a great Hamptons International IMO and before you start throwing your veggies at me they have proven themselves to me and are nice people.:)


KFH mentioned by Sean and someone else.


Iceland-Keep your mitts off.


New Vegetarian South Indian restaurant to be open at the end of the month or beginning of November. Free Tastings outside on Saturdays. (The old Chopsticks)


Rumour of another charity shop (not the one next to the edt). You know how rumours go though just like the so called coffee shop chain to appear on NX rd and didn't happen.


Fortaroma doors are closed but perhaps they are building an extension to the rear.


The cab office did sell. Whole building ?165k freehold through Allsop auction. Good luck with that.


I could mention two other areas of London i work on but this is the ED forum.

Thanks for that StraferJack. As I've broken my glasses I was wondering what those notices said.

    • The plans The developer Berkeley Homes have submitted a planning application to redevelop the Aylesham Centre close to the junction of Peckham High Street and Rye Lane, containing Morrison’s supermarket, car park, & petrol station, Aylesham shopping arcade and most of that side of Rye Lane between Hanover Park and Peckham High Street. The application is for a mixed housing, retail, leisure and commercial development, in buildings ranging from 5 to 20 storeys. Impact Local people who have studied the detailed plans think that the development would dominate the historic town centre which has evolved since the 18th century, and would ruin the Conservation Area which was awarded in 2011 'to preserve and enhance its character and appearance'. More than 65% of the homes to be built in this unimaginative over-bearing development will be unaffordable by most people who live in Southwark, and provide inadequate open and green space for this part of Peckham. Need for discussion This is such an important issue for south London that it needs wide discussion before the Council Planning Committee takes its decision (not before next Spring). A free on-line talk and discussion to clarify the heritage issues we all need to think about is being held on Monday 11th November 7-8.30pm. All will be welcome. Please register on this link: https://Defend-Peckhams-Heritage-2024.eventbrite.co.uk There are several other key issues raised by the plans which are being examined in the Aylesham Community Action (ACA) campaign. You can find the link to all that and other useful information here: www.linktr.ee/acapeckham The zoom session is being arranged by Peckham Heritage the local group that has grown from the community work alongside the restoration of nine historic buildings in Peckham High Street through the Townscape Heritage Initiative. We hope that EDF members who value local heritage will be able to attend the session to hear and take part in the discussion, and report back to this topic so the discussion can continue.
    • I did see a few Victoria bound 185's on East Dulwich road around 5pm this evening. Coming from the Rye end and heading toward Goose green
    • I cant quite pinpoint where she is exactly. But currently notice I am not hearing her this evening!! She has a microphone?
