So that would be ?1.3m for the full run? Makes more sense than just ?350k, considering what will have to be spent on them - and should offer a developer a tidy but not wholly exorbitant profit, considering the likely development time and cost of funding a loan. And remembering that this will be a taxable profit, (on what basis, capital gain or trading profit) depending on how the purchasing company is structured.

I think the bricks will start to look normal soon, has anyone been working on the site since this corona thing all kicked off? its clearly not finished yet, so people should just relax before writing the whole project off.


I'd also like it if that Chinese place beside it opened again soon, i fancy a decent bit of Choi Mein and Chop Suey.

I was also wondering about the bricks. You can buy new bricks that try to look 'reclaimed' by having white and reddish paint splodges on them. I assume you're only supposed to use those sparingly though; I wondered if someone had got a bit carried away and made an entire wall out of them.

From the angle the photo is taken, the top storey windows don't seem to line up with the ones below.

As mentioned above, the white stuff is efflorescence, salt coming out of the bricks. There are various causes, some down to construction, some unavoidable. Usually it just goes away.


Also worth mentioning that newly laid bricks (whether actual new bricks or reclaimed) can look a whole lot different some time down the line after construction, especially if they're retaining a lot of moisture when laid. A load of reclaimed bricks we used looked like the 1980s game 'breakout' after they were laid. Nearly had a heart attack. They dried out eventually and look great now. So wait and see.


The windows all look lined up to me, apart from the 'unit' on the right where the windows are a couple of courses higher than the other three, this difference also visible along the parapet wall. Looks a little incongruous from the outside, but can't imagine why anyone would do this 'by mistake' (it's more work than making straight lines) so there must be a valid design reason for it somewhere which isn't obvious from the outside.


I don't mind Velfac (I think?) windows myself but I'm not sure if they're the best choice for this design.


On the upside, the mansard roof / loft area on this project looks a whole lot better than nearly all the loft conversions around here, so if you've got one of those and want to criticise this as an eyesore...

The top storey windows are all in line.

The middle storey windows appear slightly higher to the right, perhaps because the wall they are in is further forward ?

According to photo.

But top floor in line.

      Love Dulwich Restaurant

      The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly

      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" ?
