Lidl coming to camberwell

[sweetgirl]

Just thought I'd mention there's a Lidl coming to camberwell, next door to easy gym.

[Seabag]

It?s not exactly exciting news is it, not as exciting as Waitrose coming to ED.

I do like Lidl tho, if only to put me out of my comfort zone.

[Sue]

Oh that's good news, I wondered what that was going to be!

Lidl and other budget shops suffer from floor space and the time taken to get served. Did Peckham last Sunday afternoon and gave up the will after half an hour.

Where is the best one? Sydenham suffers as it is a small shop, Peckham too damn busy, Catford an alternative, OKR just feels too far and I don't see myself going to Camberwell. Now one in ED, particularly as the bakery is superior to any of the up your backside middle class supermarkets.

just go early and it's fine

there's one in balham which is quite nice - it's a poshed-up Lidl

[mancity68]

Yeah. Peckham Lidl at opening is absolutely fine. Or midweek just before closing.

Lidl Surrey Quays is usually OK

I always drive to West Wickham or Sevenoaks Lidl. Can?t bare any of the inner London ones.

Never had a bad experience at those ones.

I spotted the Lidl notice at Camberwell over a year ago but then the gym appeared and didn't think it would open due to car park space and the gym taking over.

Then again, Southwark News had an article this week about how Lidl are wanting to open their stores in Southwark.

East Dulwich, Dulwich, Herne Hill, Walworth were on the list.

[Seabag]

It?s one of the better ones.

Am I imagining it, or are there two close by in Sydenham and that road that goes to Bromley?

[Loutwo]

Why the Co Op on LL remains I?ll have no idea. Ideal spot for a Lidl.

Yay! Finally a useful shop in Camberwell.

*Edited to say in addition to the art shop*

there are 2 Lidls in Sydenham - one in the High Street and another one up from Bell Green going towards the Bromley Road. I generally go to the Peckham one, but the Bell Green one has good parking and also the Beckenham one.

[Loutwo]

I have to agree on Beckenham. Only been once but a very pleasant experience, friendly staff, no rude or pushy customers, and queues which are relatively short.

I love Lidl. They sell so many cheese and hams you can get in a lot of traditional British supermarkets.

Willow in North Cross Road now sell art materials, and they will order anything in for you.

They will also give you a card entitling you to 10% off any art stuff you buy :)

There are a lot of useful shops in Camberwell ruffle, so not sure what you mean?

The Lidl had their signs up today ready to go.

The 42 bus stops right outside.
