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.

We run offices on Gowlett Road and personly I'm looking forward to a fish and chip shop as long as its good. Tesco's is not the best after a while.


I don't think we need another trinket/card/baby clothes/gift etc shop or curry house.

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.

      Insurance following subsidence

      By Sue · Posted

      I got a relatively good deal (well, compared to the quote from my current broker!)  through Orwell Insurance, who also didn't require a survey. £655 pa including subsidence cover. The excess is quite high but there's a ten year guarantee on the work on my front bay, so fingers crossed I won't have to claim. There has been other ground movement decades ago which sadly they also took into account in setting the excess. I used an online site called QuoteZone which was very quick and easy and can exclude any companies which won't cover you if you've had previous subsidence. Good luck to everyone who is in a similar situation! Each company seems to ask different questions and want different things, so definitely try a few places. I didn't want to spend days phoning round, so given I had already  saved £845 I stopped there, though it's possible I could have got it cheaper.
