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.

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.

    • Can anyone recommend a reputable damp specialist in the area please.  Reluctant to pick a random off the web and would really like a bonafide recommendation as know this work can be costly.  thank you
    • But you don't think the same protection should be afforded to those on the anti-LTN side...? Given the witch hunt some are be conducting to unearth which local residents are involved (see numerous examples on this forum), given the vandalism of the anti-LTN signs and interference with cars, labelling of anyone who opposes as some sort of petrol-head facist and given even Anna Goodman's tearing down of an anti-LTN poster you still think you only want anonimyity for those on one side of the argument? Does that not seem slightly hypocritical...it's why your first post on this issue entertained so many of us - it seemed ever so one-sided and summed up the challenges anyone who opposes the measures has to fight?
    • Hello again, Rubie, my cat, is still missing. He has been gone since 18th April.  Rubie is black and white, with black ears, a splendid white moustache, white front paws, and mostly white back legs.  Please check your sheds etc as he may be trapped, he’s a curious little thing.  I would really appreciate any help and suggestions. Thank you.
    • There is no equivalence between One Dulwich purporting to be a local organisation speaking for local people, and actually properly constituted organisations such as The Dulwich Society. A 3 -second google search reveals the openly published names of the trustees of Dulwich Society, so I can make my own mind up as to whether these individuals are coming at local issues with a particular slant. I can read minutes of their meetings online, and whilst I might not agree with their every position, I can have confidence that they are an open and fundamentally democratic institution. There is absolutely nothing similar in terms of publicly accountable information to be found about One Dulwich - no idea of who is behind it, who pays for it ( it is clearly expensive), and on what basis they make their decisions.  Given the Police involvement in the intimidation of people with a public pro-LTN view ( for which there is no equivalence in terms of severity of any incident for those with an anti-LTN point of view), I can fully understand why, for Dulwich Society's traffic sub- committee only, they want a bit of online anonymity. I also find it slightly disturbing that when The Dulwich Society current leadership asked the 'grouping' pushing for changes within it for a meeting to discuss their concerns, they refused it. Given the recent experiences of organisations such as The National Trust, the question can be asked - is something similar going on here?
