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.

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
