Probably not, but we're pretty well catered for now:


Organic veggies

Fresh Fish / Meat & Game

Deli / Cheese

Coffee / Tea shops

Sweets

Pampering / Make up (Dr Boo)

Lunch / Dinner

Clothes

Furniture

Books

Cook shop

Flowers / Plants


plus the odd charity shop!


Can anyone think of something else we actually NEED, I can't...and I'd rather shops were occupied that lying empty.

We need a good pattiserie, an icecream parlour and a pizza place. If the icecream/pizza place was big enough to accomodate prams it would be great if this could serve good coffee during the day. If you have a pram and find the chain place on the corner a bit souless, ED is poorly served for places to go for coffee.


We have too many Indian restaurants and not enough European restaurants. A few more Spanish/Italian/French restos would go down a treat, as would a fish restaurant.


Personally, I think that East Dulwich blokes are pretty poorly catered for in terms of clothes.


A small independent cinema would be lovely, but am not sure we can sustain it

The choccies in Hope and Greenwood are nice... not a huge selection though, and perhaps not absolutely "top end". A chocolate shop & patisserie would be nice.


I don't think we really need a pizzeria - Mon petit chou do pizzas, there's an italian place on forest hill rd, and rumours of another italian where "the green" used to be.

OB is a nice shop (there is one near my office, where I get 10% discount) and is great for last minute birthday presents. Admittedly not really for fellas.


It really is the last thing needed in ED mind you. :( A sushi restaurant/cafe would have been great :)

No. But it's cheap.


But the Ritzy in Brixton is much nicer - I'd rather pay more and go there - not far on the 37 :)

    • 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."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
