Does anyone know who the landlord(s) up and down Lordship Lane are? They're plainly going for as much rent as they can get (which is of course their prerogative, not looking for an argument about the usual things), I'd just be interested to know if it's individuals, or one big landowner etc, and hoping someone else already has the answer?

?65,004 - shop and basement only.

I didn't make any suggestions, these places had already been mentioned above.

I find it frustrating that shopping and eating out in the UK is so dominated by chains. I guess it must be to do with high High Street rents but going in to central London and finding two Pret a Manger and two Starbucks (just for example) within a couple of minute's walk of each other makes me feel a bit meh. It feels so different in France/Spain/Greece/Germany/Italy and I don't understand why it has to be different here.

I think you already mentioned the reason-high street rents.

thats why places like shorditch Dalston and Peckham start out with great independent buisnesses and once those areas become 'hip' or popular landlords get greedy and sadly the chains then are the only ones who can afford to be there.

its a bee in my bonnet not just with eateries but with stores selling other goods too.

I wish London was more like paris for example with beautiful small individual independent shops to 'discover'

Yes, I think I'm saying why do our town centre commercial rents have to be so high that independents cannot survive in them? It seems to work ok in other European countries. Can't comment on the US or other places as haven't visited enough. The UK is notorious for it's dull High Streets. I've lived in Brixton, Dalston and ED pre-gentrification. Wondering where to go next!

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
