John Lewis - Oxford Street or online.


Locally: Lordship Lane - no department stores, but M&S Food, interesting shops for food, clothing, housewares etc. See also Northcross Rd - good shops and market. Have a google for local postcodes SE22, SE5, SE15, SE26 etc. to see what is available in our area (Camberwell, East Dulwich, Dulwich Village, Forest Hill etc.). Also local farmer's markets at Horniman Museum, Dulwich Village etc.


Brixton: Morleys opposite the tube station - a more traditional department store with electrical, furniture, homewares, carpets etc. Fantastic outdoor and indoor markets.


Clapham Junction: Good shopping area with department store, Waitrose and high street stores.


Welcome to our neck of the woods.

Easy to get to Oxford Street for John Lewis, M&S, Selfridges, Debenhams, House of Fraser etc and Tottenham Court Road for Heals, Habitat etc.


No parking (at least not easily) but you can get stuff delivered.


Will make you lose the will to live, but so will shopping in Croydon, Bromley or the Purley Way :)


Although IKEA and Wyevale garden centre are on the Purley Way :))

When I moved here I felt just the same- everything is a little bit further away than I wanted! Now I've been here 4 years I have come to terms with it! Local shopping is just wonderful but sometimes you need the big stuff.


The Bell Green retail park is very helpful- a quick drive to a large Next with a home and kids section.


For everything else I either go to Bromley and park in the Glades, or more preferably, Bluewater.

I don't find it offensive at all (lived locally my whole life). If you're looking for somewhere like John Lewis and get sent to the Old Kent Road (B&Q, McD's, Asda etc) you're going to be disappointed aren't you? I find OKR 'urg' even though I know it well!

If you're after a John Lewis another option is to go to Peter Jones at Sloane Square, train to Victoria then the tube, bus or a nice 20 mins walk through Belgravia. I work in Victoria so use it often, nice area to shop as less busy than Oxford Street. There's a Zara at Duke of York Square that has a Home section and then the Kings Road with India Jane, that has some lovely stock, and a Habitat.

I didn't mean to be rude or offend anyone with my comment so apologies of you were. Thank you Vik, that's exactly why I felt how I felt, not what I was expecting since I didn't ask for B&Q, Asda or Argos.


Thank you everyone for the suggestions. Hubby and I have got some exploring to do!

    • I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.
    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
