malumbu Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I don't know its name, but in the early 90s it sold cut-price Levis, did tailoring, and had a stack of porn mags in the back. Somewhere off Lordship Lane. Black middle aged gent who ran it, said it was a good distraction for blokes out shopping with their other halves.Meanwhile do we have any local shops (or wider) with funny names to compete with: (I've visited the boutique in France, but it doesn't quite live up to its name)http://www.hifiwigwam.com/archive/index.php/t-18022.html Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21502-shops-with-strange-names-in-east-dulwich/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidKruger Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 It was on Whateley Rd, junction with Cyrena Rd I think. It's converted to a house now. Bloke would try feel you up as he 'fitted' your jeans and make pseudo-homosexual small talk in hope of giving you a semi-on.You were invited to glance at the magazines out back while changing. Like you've popped-in to buy some jeans but fancy a bit of porn while at it - hmmm right.Can't remember his name/name of his shop but it's mentioned on another thread about old shops back in the 90s.
