Are you sure it wasn't Mockers after he fell asleep on the couch?..

I have seen sooooo many "famous" faces in Sainsbury's and around East Dulwich including: James Nesbitt, Robert Glenister, Jay Raynor, Richard Grieve (was johnny in Emmerdale), Lorraine Chase (Steph Emmedale), Craig Grazey (Graeme from Corrie) and Kate Ford (Tracy from Corrie) oh and a REAL star Richard Aoyade who is wonderful as 'Moss' in the I.T crowd!


How blessed East Dulwich is (note the slight hint of sarcasm) ;-)

A friend of mine got married last year a Beauberry house in Dulwich Village and had his reception at The EDT upstairs. He was the head of A&R at XL Records and is now at Island via Sony. As a thank you (for signing her) Adele sang at both the wedding and reception, the reception also had Jack Penate playing as well. Adele went home at 8 o clock as she was absolutely steaming drunk - lovely girl though.

Superb - I used to do the same. Another favourite was "Would Mr P Neshead please report to reception"

Slightly off topic but anyone else seen Richard Grieve on the train/getting off at Peckham Rye?? quite a bizarre feeling sitting in front of someone you used to watch on T.V as a child!

It was John Pienaar.

Thank-you! That's been bugging me for some time. I knew he was famous-ish.

I have seen many "celebs" in Dulwich. But my most enjoyable was seeing Trevor and simon the kids entertainers in the cafe that was at goose green. I know its not beverley hills but we allso had that bird of the bill and loose women fame living on Silvester rd Maggie Thatcher other side of Dulwich pk and To my surprise personal fav Phil Mitchells bit of rough from Eastenders whos name escapes me. Well maybe "celeb" is the wrong word.

    • 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.
