The Friends of Dog Kennel Hill Wood have been awarded some funding from Southwark?s Community Council to bring a magical lantern bauble walk to Dog Kennel Hill Woods this December.


We have teamed up with Dog Kennel Hill Adventure Playground who will be running three *FREE* lantern-making workshops for children on Monday 12th Nov 3:30 ? 5:30 pm, Monday 19th November 3:30 ? 5:30 pm and also on Saturday 24th November 10:30 am ? 12:30 pm. These workshops take place at the adventure playground and will be taught by artist Maria. All materials are provided for and you can drop it at any one or all of the workshops to make a paper lantern.


We recommend that children under 8 are accompanied by an adult as the lantern-making process can be tricky for younger children and they may need some help.


The lanterns will then form part of a procession to Dog Kennel Hill Woods on Saturday 8th December where they will be hung in the trees to form a magical bauble walk. The procession is on Saturday December 8th at 5pm. There will be refreshments and a choir and we welcome everyone to attend and join in.


We are hoping that this event will open up the woods and transform it into a magical space during one of the darkest times of the year.


The lanterns will stay up in the wood for a week and will be available for collection by the makers to take home for Christmas.

    • 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.
