We are having Mothers Meeting at The Wallace Collection, Wednesday 23rd November - 1pm.


If you have not been to The Wallace collection, now is your chance!! It really is a special place, it's location is so central you will be amazed that you have never been before! It really puts Donatella Versaces house to shame!


Even if OTT kitsch/chintz is not your thing, there is something here for everyone! Whether you are interested in product/interior/graphic/fashion design or just art ? The Wallace Collection is just something you have to see! And as soon as you do you will not believe you have never visited before, as it is a stones throw away from Oxfords Streets, Selfridges.


I have booked a table in the cafe for lunch at 1pm, this is where we will meet.


Really looking forward to meeting new and old faces!! If you can drop me a mail and let me know if you are coming that would be fab!!!

Time out says:


"One of London?s most underrated museums"

"This handsome house, built in 1776, contains an exceptional collection of eighteenth-century French furniture, paintings and objets d'art, as well as an amazing array of medieval armour and weaponry. It all belonged to Sir Francis Wallace and has been open to the public since 1900, with room after grand room containing Louis XIV and XV furnishings and S?vres porcelain, while the galleries are hung with paintings by Titian, Vel?zquez, Fragonard, Gainsborough and Reynolds; Franz Hals's {I}Laughing Cavalier{/I} (neither laughing, nor a Cavalier) is one of the best know, along with Fragonard's {I}The Swing{/I}. The Wallace Collection also holds frequent temporary exhibitions, and regular events include the chance for children to try on armour or explore the Wallace Collection and take part in artist-led workshops."

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
