Petals Boutique is a refreshing option in Womenswear and Accessories in East Dulwich.

Opened just over a month ago, the shop offers unique ranges from over 15 designers, all based in London! Eucalyptus, for example, is based in Camberwell Green and is a huge hit among customers. The local ladies say they relate to the range instantly because its clothes are pretty and easy to wear.

Many items on sale now, so it is worth visiting!!!!

I have had to "edit and cut what people say" about 3 times before this, and out of the thousands of posts that are on here that's not many and believe me it really isn't the preferred course of action. When an unregistered user posts comments that are just against the system as a whole and are not really related to the fact that a local shop has opened, it's frowned upon. I shall re-instate the messages just so people can see what you guys are on about and if you want to continue this discussion please do so on another thread. (I think it was mentioning EDKiwi that made me go weak and give in)

Good luck with your new business, I'm sure it'll do well.

Wasn't trying to start trouble Mr Administrator, just worries me when freedom of speech becomes curtailed (even if it is a bit off topic). Not suggesting that you're the thought police or anything ;-)

"I wish it was a falafel restaurant"


It would be a step in the right dirction indeed.


I do however fear that this emporium may not do as well as expected- the melbourne grove area does seem to a a graveyard for new businesses that do not offer anything exceptional or out of the ordinary. Still, We shall see

HA, I don't go off topic do I? By the way has anyone seen my dog? Mark I'm glad my rep has helped re-instate freedom of speech on this forum. I'm all for freedom of speech, and going off topic, so long as:


1) only registered members are allowed to go off topic, not one hit wonders afraid to show themselves, like Snorky.

2) everyone agrees with ME!

3) actually scratch #2 as if everyone agreed with me I'd have no one to disagree with and people wouldn't get annoyed with me.


In the interests of not going off topic - GOOD LUCK PETALS!

yet again we welcome a more money than sense so called boutique shop for the new comers to ED. The rest of us scum who have lived here all our lives will have to walk past on our way to iceland and hope we dont become isolated in this community.. why cant we have some sensible clothes shops with bargains in the area? This place is being ruined and i cant wait to move out.. its not the ED i knew and loved..
Get off the fence mate! ;-) I know what you're saying, but you can't blame the shop owners, when they've got people willing to spend the money. I know the owner of one such shop in the area (I won't say which) and she actually said to me that her client group were a bunch of very bored women with so much money they could afford to spend stupid amounts on a cushion!

Blimey 'danniele', to call yourself "scum" and to get feelings of isolation from the community by merely walking past this shop is terrible, I do hope your head doctor manages to rid you of these issues at your next session. Noone is isolating you, you're isolating yourself by thinking like that. There's some good bargain clothes shops in Peckham and good old TKMAXX is a short trip away on the 37 in Clapham Junction.


Anyway, back onto the topic I went into Petals today and it's really nice, I also discovered a couple of business I hadn't noticed before on Melboune Grove including an interesting looking cafe.

I love TKMaxx - I've banned myself from going there!


And that does seem a tad harsh Danielle - opening up a cr**khouse would certainly ruin an area, but surely not opening up a womens boutique. And remember, Petals was just a junk storage space before, it's not like a well loved local butchers has closed down.


Things move on and local flavour changes; I wish Walsh Glazing hadn't gone, and two mad old shops near the policestation on Lordship Lane are going/gone which makes me sad, but Petals probably doesn't deserve that swipe - good luck to them btw.

Unfortunately the ED we use to know is now being changed by these new "immigrants" who have more money than sense . Perhaps we should count ourselves lucky that we kept these hordes away for so long . Sydenham is a nice area where property prices are reasonable , relatively speaking. Lets live ED to the snobs with funky ideas.

    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.
