I?m glad. I am sick of the independent pharmacies in the area deciding what they will and won?t sell based on their own beliefs, which is totally unacceptable. Roll on a decent shop like this stopping us having to pay the extortionate prices of Sainsbury?s and other for toiletries

Well I wouldn't like to see a pound shop in Lordship Lane. There is at least one Poundland within walking distance.



Wouldn't mind a Wilko though, as so far as I know the nearest one is in Penge (there are several pound shops there, as well. The down side is you have to live in Penge. Apologies for any offence caused to Penge living readers of the forum :) )

There are pound shops in Peckham and Camberwell.


A short bus ride for those who can't get there on foot. As with other kinds of shops which we don't have locally. Department stores, for example.


I don't see why it's an "extraordinary comment".


I've been here for very nearly thirty years now, and East Dulwich has changed, much as some people may wish it hadn't. Iceland was replaced by M&S, for example.


I don't think a pound shop would be a good fit any more, and I can't imagine Poundland (the only decent pound shop, in my opinion) would want to be here anyway.


In any case, whilst there are bargains to be had in pound shops, much of what they sell can be got cheaper elsewhere. Just because something is in a pound shop doesn't make it worth spending a pound on it.

Who are "the local champagne socialists", Louisa?


I'm a member of the local Labour Party, and I haven't seen anybody drinking champagne.


The nearest we got was on New Years' Eve when my partner and I shared a bottle of Cava.

Champagne Socialism has nothing to do with drinking Champagne..


Definition of champagne socialist -


A person who espouses socialist ideals while enjoying a wealthy lifestyle.


Home ownership and eating and drinking regularly in the most expensive bars and Restaurants.

and putting oneself above others.

But if the CPZ did come into effect in ED it wouldn't apply at the weekend so you could park for free at any time and shop in all the local shops if you wanted to drive in. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I've lost touch with the proposals and live close by where a CPZ was introduced over two years ago.

Had a look in from the door. Does indeed look very small.

Would seem most of the space is being used for storage.

I think the old Londis was almost double the size. Does seem like a useable shop has been replaced by something which wasn?t really desperately needed. I do miss londis, and I used it a few times a week.

The original model for 7:11 (which preceded Londis) was to operate 4 deliveries a day (triggered by real time analysis of purchases in 4 hour segments so that the right food etc. against demand was on the shelves) - that way all stock was out for purchase and not in stock rooms, maximising display space. This was a just-in-time stocking model. Similarly (in intent) Iceland maximised its display space utilisation by stocking in freezers in the shop. Both excellent models for getting quarts into retail display space pint pots.

There are plenty of other shops selling what Londis used to sell.


And several shops open 24 hours, including Organic Village.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By bunnie · Posted

      Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.

      Albrighton Community Fridge, Dog Kennel Hill

      By AylwardS · Posted

      Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
