There were once 8 + shoe shops on Rye Lane in the 50's

I?d love to see something like an old fashioned haberdashery selling fabrics, embroidery silks, tapestry items, sewing threads and knitting wools. John Lewis used to have a fabulous department at one time. I know there is Stag & Bow in Forest Hill but another in Ed would be good. It appeals to my creative side! I remember the joy of looking through pattern books and choosing materials. Rolls and REM?s in Lewisham is extremely popular, so there seems to be a revival of things homespun or maybe I should say home made!

Really Maria is exactly what you describe here - fabulous haberdasher with loads of choice and lovely professional advice on creative projects!

really? i looked through yesterday and it was little more than an empty room with rubble and other debris stacked up against the walls. No sign of anyone in there at 17:45. If thats progress, the place must have been a bombsite before.

When I looked in the lights were on and there appears to be a counter area installed.

What exactly is the " 500 Degrees style of Chain pizzerias "?


They have 3 restaurants in Brixton, Herne Hill and Crystal Palace. They're hardly a chain at all more like a small group of local restaurants.


Franco Manca on the other hand have approximately 50 restaurants scattered all over the country.

But when Franco Manca came to East Dulwich, didn't they have just one other branch in Brixton?

You have to remind me, what?s bad about south London businesses being successful?

What a pointless post

What we need is a committee of EDF regulars to approve any new business application and consider it in light of culinary and social diversity. This will ensure an efficient market and bring an end to all these silly entrepreneurs with their fancy ideas of competing with other businesses and meeting unmet demand.


Long live the Committee.

The Last time I ate Pizza in a Sit Down Pizza place


was at The Chicago Pizza Pie Factory in Hanover Square W1. 1977 ish


Garlic Mushrooms and Margarita Pizza. Probable with Sol beer.


Frigging Bees Knees back then


Don,t think it is still there.

Pizza is a snack. It?s not a dinner.


Anyone who says otherwise, needs to speak to someone from Italy for confirmation. They?ll tell you the same.


The market is saturated locally, let?s have something different with imagination and flare. Come on is that too much to ask in 2019? Northcote Road Light is what LL has become.


Louisa.

Still trying to understand why a new pizza place would attract ?wealthy foodies and no one else? but you?ve conveniently skipped that point.

You?re conveniently missing my point entirely. Certain establishments attract a certain clientele. Sourdough/artisan/stonbaked whatever name you wish to give it, pizza, tends to pull a certain class of foodie. Something a Toby Carvery or a Chiquitos would not do, May I add. It?s not just about the price, it?s about the branding and marketing. The bigger point is of course, why do we need another example of the same bland thing? Some variety would be nice. But apparently, wealthy foodies like to berate everyone else for what they eat, but are happy to indulge in pizza when it suits.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
