The old fish and chip shop 'The Codfather' is being turned into a posh fish and chip (and more) shop.


Bubble and Squeak, the old cafe, will either become an arts and craft store, a kids clothes shop or a nail bar. Or another Morleys, maybe a Tesco express.


What would people like to see there?


No Waitrose nonsense please.

That chippy (and more) needs to be exceptional given the amount of time it's taking.


Nothing, other than the bike shop maybe, has really thrived on that strip since 'Hannah's' which was a great, unpretentious place.


Let's be honest, it is SE22 but it's not really East Dulwich is it?


Even with the Zandra Rhodes bollards.


How about a 'Gregg's'?

PBoy: Nope. Not mixed up.


The OP on that thread was asking about pubs in Nunhead / ED / Peckham Rye.


Pretty sure it's somewhere in one of those after 15 years of living around here.



Jeremy: I bet when they put their bins out the back they're in SE15.


I know it's SE22 but if anyone's thinking of opening a business there, I wouldn't look at Lordship Lane for inspiration. The artists' supplies place and the kids' clothes shop both folded pretty quickly and I can't see the overhauled Gold Lee breaking the cycle after the posts about it on here.


It's difficult to know what would work there, especially as the leases are probably close to Lordship Lane levels because of the post-code but without anything like the footfall.


I've taken to going along the back streets to Goose Green rather than have to look into the cold, dead eyes of the owners of the Gold Lee, nail bar and barbers when they realise I'm just passing, not spending.


What about a fish pedicure place?

I don't recall the kids' clothes shop, which probably proves your point, but IIRC the "artists' supplies place" was not so much that as a rather downmarket craft supplies shop (the sort of craft where somebody else produces the stencils, stamps, stickers or whatever, and you just use them, rather than actually creating much yourself).


I may be wrong, as I only went in a couple of times, and once was their closing down sale (didn't buy anything) but that's the general impression I got.

This could be just a rumour but i heard it was going to be a takeaway pizza place - poss called Papa John - is that a chain?


I was having a think about what kind of shop i would want seeing as i live on Solway Rd - however i can't think of anything i need that i can't get either in Peckham or Lordship lane

I think a japanese would be fantastic - brave, but if it were good people might go out of their way (or at least walk past places on LL) to get to something unique for the area. Which of course is what you need people to do with the limited footfall along there.


I do know that the building opposite that row of shops that I think used to be a taxi place and is now flats upstairs and empty commercial space below has had it's planning application for conversion to all flats turned down - it seems Southwark council isn't willing to give up on the parade on both sides remaining commercial.

      I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.

      Ideas for week night activities for 14 year old boys

      There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels

      There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.

      Plans for 174, Rye lane, Peckham (former Asda site)

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
