Hi all,

I live on Lordship Lane bear milo road. Heading up after watching an evening screening at the Picturehouse, their was a unusual number of groups of drunk people being noisy on Lordship Lane. Didn?t think much of it, though a bit strange.

At about 1am there was a huge brawl of what sounded like about 10-15 people outside our house and a few mins later 7 or 8 police cars, ambulances, and a number of police on foot came up past the house and were rounding people up outside the Crystal Palace road bus stop. A lot of commotion and hysterics from a number of people.


Was this a house party that got out of hand, or something more?


Cheers

There was a loud party somewhere around LL in the area you mention. I originally thought it was coming from the Lordship but, as it didn?t stop at 11.15, I realised it wasn?t. I wonder if the people you mention were connected to that.
Overloaded party with drunk loud teenagers, alcohol, nitrous oxide/laughing gas containers everywhere, spilled out onto the street at which point a fight broke out between about 10 young d*ckheads, one of them dropped a knife, police called, vans, cars and around 8 police, multiple arrests and drama and kids hanging about on the street until around 3am. Pain in the a**e.

It's the knife being carried that worries me most. It's just giving ammunition to those who after March will be asking for a curfew for the under 25s.

I live on Lordship Lane 5 doors up from where this party happened. I was woken up at 1:30am Sunday morning to loud screams from a group of girls. Screams of distress. To my shock when I went outside to see what was the commotion was my neighbour informed me a fight had broken out shortly after the fight died down. A young man came up the road with a machete and a skull mask covering his face. He was in the middle of the road swinging the knife and even hit a taxi drivers bumper coming down the road. He then entered the party. Think it was mostly a scare tactic as nobody seemed to be hurt (thank god). However the police turned up very shortly after including unmarked police 4x4's who was the armed police with actual guns. Everybody at the party soon shut up when they turned up. The police was very impressive taking no nonsense from anybody. They disbursed everybody out of the house and made some arrests to those who was being drunk and disorderly. I don't know if the fella with the macho machete was caught and arrested. I hope he was! Disgusting behaviour! What happened to a good old fashion punch up.

    • 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.
