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 ?

    • Thanks 🙏 I appreciate your reply 
    • Another bite for JAGS ( James Allen Girls school) classes are excellent too. There is also Dulwich boys but less light and airy )might be better nor as haven’t been for a while) 
    • Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
