The guy who has moved out of the Junction shop told me that there is no way this shop will become an Indian restaurant.


ETA: Sadly, as it was a Saturday night and I'd had a few bevvies, I can't remember exactly what he said, but it was something to do with council regulations for Lordship Lane, in fact he may have also said it couldn't be a restaurant at all, but whatever it was, it deffo won't be an Indian restaurant.


So I think the OP is confirmed as a wind-up.

No but there ARE regulations about the mixture of food/non food outlets that are allowed and as the current shop is not a food outlet it is probable/possible that the council would be unwilling to alter the balance.

Yes, I think that's the reason that I was given as to why it wouldn't be a restaurant.

I agree with something another well known poster said recently. Which is that the days of a good independent start up restaurant on a central Lordship Lane location are now pretty much over. Rents are prohibitive, even in the current climate.


As a result, the only buyers of new leases are more likely to be chains who can work on lower margins due to their economies of scale. And so South London's best independent high street risks becoming further homogenised.


I'd also agree that Camberwell and Peckham are now the domain of more interesting start ups (Silk Road, Angels and Gypsies, Frank's etc).

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
