Well said mamaFG! I agree. It's only a shop anyway, not designer, not chichi and not particularly overpriced like many of the existing shops and cafes around here.....

You agree with this ?


Barking.

At least Sugar isnt a barbers shop with loads of people sitting or standing outside all day and night making the roundabout area seem untidy. I think the premises would have been better suited as a small HMV outlet or something along the music lines. At least the unit is now filled and looks attractive, all we need now is some decent christmas lights along the lane and maybe we will get a rush of outsiders coming to ED to do xmas shopping!
Who knows, and frankly who cares? I couldnt figure it out myself when I glanced in on the opening week, all I know is it looks nice. Probably wont last five minutes due to high rents and lack of customers but lets make the most of having a reasonably attractive shop front by the roundabout for now. It's a luxury that end of the lane has not had since forever!

word

can I help clarify some confusion?


sugar - 100[something] grove vale - individual ladies dress and accessory shop - used to be a barbers - nearest roundabout.


2 lordship lane - ex newsagents, now empty with weird political ramblings in window - owned by dentist from east dulwich practice, planning app to convert to dental surgery.


4 lordship lane - alan's flowers [for orientation]


6 lordship lane - corner site - mirrored windows - used to be NHS now its owned by parkihill who have two slightly different retail applications with planning. rumours of baby clothes shop [any confirmation?]


think that's the SP


Ultraconsultancy

Frankly I can't keep up. Moved to ED over 3 years ago and it's unrecognisable from the quaint place i fell in love with. However, that said, it's appealing to the lazy sod in me as i can get everything in ED now and never have to venture into town ever again if I don't want! just wish there were't so many baby buggies on the pavements and screaming kids in Le Chandelier of a morning / lunchtime(though the benefit of a spiral staircase is evident ;-) )x

I totally agree Snorky :)-D

I don't think most mums and dads wake up and think 'I know, in order to make out just how rich and successful I am and to fill an aching void, I shall dress baby in a trendy/retro romper suit'. They just think it's nice, it's cute, it's something to make them smile. I agree that it's daft to spend a lot of money, though, and there is a limit. Nero
sadly the lovely but expensive childrens shop called RAISIN on east dulwich road has closed down i pass it on my way home although i dont have children i have bought a few gifts and it was a very beautiful shop .i think people might have over estimated east dulwich .....maybe foxtons included ?

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
