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.

    • First of all, conversations with people who aren't Corbyn supporters are obviously going to tell you why those people didn't vote for him, aren't they? Second (and I don't know why I have to keep on saying this) the electoral system worked against him in terms of seats lost. If you look at the actual numbers of votes per party, yes Labour was behind, but not by as much as it appeared if just seats were counted. Thirdly, that poll was of "nearly 500" people who stopped voting Labour. That's not a very big sample, is it? Of those, 35% said it was because of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership (i.e. 65% had other reasons). Even upping the numbers to  500 people, 35% is 175. 10,269,051  people did actually vote Labour in that election. It's a long time since I used statistics for anything, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anything you have said is "evidence"!
    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!
