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!

      And from what I remember, she eventually cut the tea shop for a similar  reason to chandelier.  Chariot style buggies

      Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣

      The Mansion Tax

      By James Barber · Posted

      Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly.
