>>Any one checked out the new posh cookery shop near Goose Green roundabout? Opened on Tuesday this week.<<


Well I looked through the window but the shelves seemed fairly bare. Looks like it may be a cross beteween an Elizabeth David-type shop and one similar to the cookshop in Beckenham. Wonder if they will stock "Le Creuset" or AGA pans? B)


The chaps were also planting lots of new saplings along the bottom end of LL too.

The kitchen shop is another welcome addition to ED. It's independently owned and operated by a family living up on Dog Kennel Hill. It's simply something they've wanted to do for a while and have now taken the step.


I went inside on opening day and it's a nice shop. Yes the shelves were a little empty but what do you expect on day 1? All of the stuff in the shop is quality and of course in tradition with an independent local business operating in LL is a bit pricier than your average chain store. A price we ED'ian's should be willing to pay though to keep these types of business in the area and the other type out.


FYI - I read some figures the other day that suggested every ?10 spent in a locally owned and operated store is effectively ?27 invested back into the local community.


Good luck to them.

I've got an idea for a new Lordship Lane shop. The shop would sell only two things: houses and flats. To attract buyers, I'd put photos of the aforementioned properties in the window, and underneath each photo I would put a number between 2 and 9, followed by a large number of zeroes. I'm confident that hundreds of passers by would be magnetically drawn to my window display, and I'd only need a few of them to actually step inside. Frankly I don't think it can fail. I'm surprised nobody has thought of it before.

Quaywe, just wait till you hear my other Dragon's Den beater - I'd set up a shoe shop, but (and here's the killer punch) DON'T PUT ANY shoes on display and keep the prices out of sight. People still numbed by their city bonuses come in to see what it's all about and before they know what's hit them, I've slipped a pair on their feet and stung them for ?300. All I need to do is find an empty shop somewhere trendy, I don't know, maybe North Cross Road?

People with huge city bonuses don't live in East Dulwich - who are you kidding? They live in Dulwich Village, Central London, Knightsbridge, South Kensington, Notting Hill (I could go on). I think you need to do a bit more research before you open anything on North Cross Road (or anywhere else for that matter).

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
