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.

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.

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.

    • Both notoriously “lovely” people to spend any time with or worse, serve 
    • No, just no.  Zero tolerance does not mean we expect zero crime but that we do not accept a standard level as normal and unavoidable. For those who have suffered such “minor” crimes, myself included having had my house broken into,  it is clear from the lack of action that they are considered “acceptable”’. Once small crimes become known to be ignored, it changes where and how we live.     
    • Lloyd Weber and Cilla Black were supposed to leave when Blair got in, but didn't
    • You can't have zero tolerance unless you live in a fascist/police state.  Sadly it is something you have to accept in a democracy.  There has always been crime, even in North Korea, the Soviet bloc, Nazi Germany, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge etc.   The discussion point is how big a police force we need and capabilities, punishment, and building communities.  And how much we are prepared to pay in extra taxation. Even in the good (economic) times there is crime.  And crime under both Labour and Tory governments. I do not accept that phone thefts and parcel thefts are just statistics.  Police have to prioritise what they do, we might not agree with it.  And most criminals are multi-tasking, moving to where the best return is considering the risk of being caught. And there has to be a market, someone somewhere needs to buy a stolen product (I never buy off Gumtree). A starting point would be to decriminalise all illegal drugs, but that is definitely for a separate Lounge conversation, interesting discussion paper here: https://kar.kent.ac.uk/105520/1/A. Stevens - In defence of the decriminalisation of drug possession in the uk - PPDF.pdf Did you watch any of the series of Peaky Blinders?  This was a very popular series that glorified gang crime and violence.  Funny (ironic) that may enjoy films and TV that does this.  Although only the first series had any historical accuracy in it,  Criminal gangs were around before and ever since.
