A team offering free bike maintenance aka Dr Bike will be under Peckham Arch this Thursday June 13th from 5.30-7.30pm. They will fix brakes, pump up tyres, index gears (this means try and stop them clicking and jumping) and stop some of the random rattling sounds. The whole thing (like the NHS) is free and open to everyone and (like the NHS) sometimes there is a queue. But hey, sometimes there isn't so roll up.

The Arch is at the north end of Rye Lane which is the south end of Surrey Canal Path. The Arch is reasonably waterproof so we will be right underneath if it's raining and (probably) on the approach ramp if it is not.

This service is provided by Southwark Cyclists out of our own hard earned money. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign and everything we do is free and open to all. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk. You can contact us on [email protected] (slow method) or tweet @southwarkcycle.

  But all those examples sell a wide variety of things, and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

  ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores. At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024: "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network. We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
