It's practically in Camberwell is where it is. Hmmmm, how it's arranged wrong? Good question, all I know is that I can find what I want in other Sainsburys and in this one I am there for an extra half an our on average looking for things that should be in obvious places.

Um, is there something wrong with your legs? It's next to ED station


Ah, you said you'd just moved to Dulwich (no 'East'). Do you mean the Village? If so, don't worry, you'll soon get fit walking over to all the pubs and restaurants on Lordship lane, then Sainsbuy's won't seem so far.

"Khan's International department Store" on Rye Lane in Peckham (cheaper than Sainsbury) - Indian sub-continent, some middle eastern and african cooking ingredients, cheap fruit/veg, plasticware, cheap kitchen utensils and loads of other stuff. And it's not a 'department store' in the conventional sense, it sells loads of different 'stuff', all on one floor.


Wing Tai Chinese supermarket at Camberwell (opposite McDonalds) or Peckham (near Morrisons). For Thai / Chinese / Indo-Chinese ingredients.


The posts above tell you where to get ordinary groceries closer to home, but here's where you can go to get your foreign gear.

It is in walking distance. About five minutes walk, to be precise.

I am by Woodwarde Road. @Jeremy - it was a neighbour who told me about Somerfield - they said it was on Lordship Lane along with several other posters here. I fail to see how this makes me a WUM!!! But thank you for your kind input.


East Dulwich station is quite a walk - is there really nothing bigger closer? How big is the new Waitrose? Do they do other things to groceries?


I have just moved from Collier's Wood - they have a big Sainsbury's there which does TV's, DVD players, clothes etc as well as the groceries :(

OK, you're not a WUM. Do you really stay clear of Google in case of a nuclear strike?

      Plumber recommendation – Mark at Pure Plumbers

      By JessicaCT · Posted

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
