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!

    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down!
