Have just been to Iceland.. It was packed out. Ironic.


Lots of talk about the closing and oddly enough not many people knew it was going. ?


There are far more people in East Dulwich than are on EDF.


It would seem most if not all staff are being located to other stores. I.E. Old Kent Rd. / Walworth Rd.

So that's good people are not losing their jobs.


I suspect M&S will do well even without my patronage... I don't think they will miss me.

Bermygirl, the primary objection is not to M&S. Some people would have preferred Iceland to stay but I don't think anyone is losing sleep over it.


The issues are with the scale and density of the development above the retail space. There are also real and valid concerns about increased delivery times by extremely large vehicles, less turning space/ access and safety re the last point. If you visit the site and view the damaged bollard that sits at the entrance, you will have a better understanding about those concerns.

Why do we actually 'Need' one. (M&S) ?


We have all survived for ever without one. No body died.

Grrr man stop it! Anyone taking the application as an objection seriously is not referring to which ever company moves in to the site! It is he development proposed plain and simple.

Attitudes like yours are irrevelant and just tiring

There has been a lot of very noisy activity on the old Iceland site today.


Does anyone know what happened with the penthouse application?


The people living in the flats must have gone, but it should be noted that those floors cannot be used as office space as they have been inhabited for the last few years.

Yes, M$S fine, no quibble with that but the proposal to add another story plonk a penthouse on top is somewhat different, if as many if us suspect, the aim is to avoid a social housing quota. James Barber had said the last application would be called in and so. I am wondering if this has happened or what the latest is?

James Barber said the additional floor application (taking it up to four stories) was to be called in. He has not declared on the forum if this has happened yet and if it has qhat the result was; if it has not when is it to be called in.


He said it was to be called in quite some time ago but silence since.


It would be good to know if a fourth floor with penthouses is to be a added to the existing floors and whether the application for the other floors to be offices will stand?


Note an earlier application was passed for 8 flats in the area that on the current application is marked out for offices (thereby giving housing in the form of two penthouses only).


So 8 flats on three floors has been passed over by the developer in favour of two penthouses on four floors, with floors 2 and 3 for offices.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
