Hi all, a new sub-post office is opening within Kristal Pharmacy on Evelina Rd in Nunhead :). I was involved in the campaign to try and save the Gibbon Rd post-office about a decade ago (which was profit making, but still was closed!)and this is definitely needed, even more so since the Rye Lane post office closed down. The opening is scheduled for Monday 28th January.

Wow the fabulous Krystals are getting a Post Office !


How I love that chemist/shop . The pharmacy is efficient and helpful , and they have so much stock. So many chemists have to order in the most basic of things simple dressings,sterile water ,common drugs .


And as for the shop ..what an Aladdins cave -my latest find has been fantastic ex hotel beautiful cotton sheets for ?4.99.Not on shelf last time I went in but still available .


Perhaps we could have whoever is the chief pharmacist there for PM ?

I think it's going to go where the perfume counter is ,the area behind the front window on the right as you look at the shop from the road .


Sally the sheets are flat and they had single ,double and king .They are all large .

    • 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.
