Hi all.


We're a little concerned about the increasing amount of advertising on the wall of Londis on North Cross Road.


Originally there was a general advertisement. Next came a Panther Cars one. We've nothing against Panther Cars, we use them as our primary cab company. Now there's an even bigger Glazer Delmar advertisement. We've been told by a reliable source that it is expected that the entire wall will be sold as advertising space. We understand that companies on North Cross Road need exposure but at what point will these adverts become an eye sore?


We'd like to know residents' and other business' view on this matter. We're concerned that very soon, all you'll be able to see from the windows of The Palmerston is advertising. The wall is no thing of beauty but it's rather more appealing that a wall of adverts.


Your views, pro, anti or indifferent please.


Thanks,

As far as I know commercial advertising hoardings are subject to planning permission (I hope so, anyway). I've been concerned at the apparent proliferation of advertisements on walls in ED, and another new advertising board (for a taxi firm) appears to be on Zenoria Street at the junction with Lordship Lane.

I walk past there most days and tbh I've never noticed them. They certainly didn't grab my attention, but I'll notice them now that the Palmerston has thoughtfully pointed them out.


They don't bother me though, unless they start displaying ladies (or lads) in states of undress, which seems to be mandatory these days to advertise anything from garden manure to solicitors' services. Then I'll join any picket going.


Edited to add - The Palmerston can take its pick of other unlovely things than can be seen (or smelt) from inside it, such as

- runoff water from the smelly fish van

- the Iceland 'eyesore'

- the smokers slowly pickling themselves outside the Palmerston itself

Massive illuminated advertising hoarding on two sides of the building.


There's a thread about it on here somewhere.

If we don't keep an eye Advertising will spread onto every surface. The advertisers are always looking for new places to put billboards. We don't want East Dulwich to look like Tokyo. So please don't bury your heads in the sand and hope your local environment will always be nice - it takes work.

    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. They're clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
