Really though? From the top of the street the following properties are empty (pre CPZ)


The building previously part of the Maudsley trust (double fronted building onto Lship lane)

The old French caf?

The old Threshers

The building next to SMBS is a constant pop up at the moment but has been closed on and off for years

Dulwich Tandoori

Lush Designs



Might have missed some but off the top of my head those stand out.

The old French House is now Sylvesters.

Threshers finally looks like it's being renovated after years of being empty (following a cannabis farm getting busted in the flat above it)

The Building next to SMBS has a deliberate business model / offer as a space for rotating places I think.

Lush Designs is indeed empty at present

The Maudsley site isn't a retail unit.


In addition there have been a flurry of new openings.


Personally, I think LL is doing pretty well. Will be interesting to see what happen post brexit though.

Dulwich Tandoori isn't empty? Had a meal there last week.

Also just heard that Aneto is closing (by Goose Green) - my point on this is not that the 'Lane is in decline' - but more to flag that the increasing rates is generally pushing some businesses out and there is continual turnover.


Sylvesters appears to be some kind of bar / pizza place. No one seems to know what the old Threshers will be.

Think this may be more to do with poor management since they expanded into the bigger premises. Used to love going in there as it's on the doorstep but on recent visits experienced loud music which they refused to change or turn down, slow service etc and not replying to customers online so a large part of this is down to customers voting with their feet round here as there is so much choice rather than a general decline.

As far as I know this lovely lady will be relocating to another premises in Lordship Lane which is to be confirmed. If we don't support our independents then big companies will take over. I love Sogem's, always friendly and willing to help and advise at the drop of a hat. Please support local business!

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
