It'll be nice to see this place open, I remember the wonderful smell you'd get when entering the sweet shop that I think was where the St Christopher's charity shop now is and the sound of sweets hitting the weighing machine was oddly pleasing too, had me salivating like one of Pavlov's dogs!

`best of luck with your new venture Dara.


There was a sweet shop on North Cross Road that used to sell ration books which my kids loved getting as presents or in their stockings. They were always so excited to take their ration books to the shop, choose their sweets and have their tokens stamped. They would then count up how much was left for the next visit!


Will you be doing anything similar?

That was the late lamented Hope and Greenwood, wasn't it? I still miss their salted caramel ice cream, much nicer than other local options (in my opinion).

    • I just have a small balcony and want to plant some small pots but don't need a huge bag. If anyone has anything going spare please PM me! Based in Camberwell happy to collect.
    • I pay £4,500.00 service charge for my one bedroom property on Sydenham Hill in the area of Bromley court and attleborough court. What are the Southwark council doing with our money. The grass needs cutting and the weeds need clearing from paths, walkways and walls. It use to look well manicured,  now it’s a wreck. I should have a reduction in my service charge as I’m paying towards something that is not being done . 
    • Following up on my post of May 12, Leon of Electrical Initative arrived yesterday and fitted my new consumer unit. He did an extremely thorough job, not rushing anything, which I find very reassuring. So often I get a repair job where the impatient workers seem to be in a tearing hurry to finish up, move their parked van so they won't get a ticket, get to the next job, and collect their money. Not Leon. After about two hours of careful work and tests, made all the more challenging by his having to work in a cramped space under the stairs, I now have an up-to-date consumer unit installed, one that's up to code with the latest regulations. He also found an extra 20 mins to fit a new bathroom light for me, and adjusted the settings for me too. Two jobs on a single call, as he'd promised he would - what more could you want? I whole-heartedly recommend this honest and trustworthy trader to anyone who needs electrical work done in SE London.
    • Not looking quite how it did before GALA turned up, I'll be very interested to know what they can do to "reinstate" it & how long it will take to recover. And how they're going to remove all the litter - there'll be plenty of fag butts, filter tips, cable ties, bottle tops, ring pulls and god knows what else firmly stuck in that mud...
