Mirash Tandoori has been providing high quality Indian food to East Dulwich and the surrounding area since 1990. New item on the menu is traffic jam pickle.


If you had wait in the traffic jam today along Lordship Lane due to a bus having a scrape with a car your wait was made even longer, both lanes blocked because of two parked cars outside the Mirash Tandoori Resturant. The owners of the cars are both are from the Mirash they park everyday like this. If you had to wait in the cold at a bus stop or late for an appointment you know who to thank for your longer delay. Just to lazy to find a parking space that is not a busy road.

Are the spaces outside Mirash available for parking or not? If so I don?t see what they are doing wrong


If the road needs to be more clear to allow flow of traffic then the council will presumably zone approriately


It?s people who park up in bus lanes that bother me ? not people who park legally

They've probably noticed that there are no parking restriction signs on this part of Grove Vale. As long as they stay off the double yellows, they're okay. Any tickets would be invalid for this technicality.


The bigger rush hour parking issues are caused by - as Sean says - people chancing it in the bus lane, including Southwark's 'safety' smartcar. The parking on the corner beyond KwikFit is a problem too - that's often a bottleneck for buses. Usually builders in the cafe, Transit van parked on the single yellow outside.

If the cars from the Mirash are legally parked, then that's a really unfair OP. So what if it's a busy road? If they're allowed to park there, why on earth should they park further away from their place of work?


If illegally parked, then it's irrelevant whether or not they've caused a problem today, they shouldn't be parked there at all.

    • 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.
