Cooperative House, Peckham Rye

[harvey]

Does anyone know or heard rumours of the retailers moving into the bottom of the Cooperative House on Peckham Rye (corner of Heaton Road)?

Yes I mentioned this probably getting on for a year ago, rumours were bound that M&S Simply Food had bought the lease on two of the large retail units, but I have heard of nothing since and all info I got from M&S themselves was "no plans for any new stores in SE15/SE22", so who knows? Maybe another butcher or smelly fishmonger judging by the standard of Rye Lane? LOL

I tried to buy a place here but eventually got turned down... woe is me. At best they'll get a Tesco Metro. There's no chance of an M&S Simply Food.

Have a look at the SE1 Forum for similar discussions re Tabard Square

I have a friend who has a flat there and they've been told that there may possibly be a wine bar downstairs. As it's flats I doubt they will be having too many food outlets or pubs so it doesn't upset the residents. What's not so good is the solicitors that's opened up across the road, the bright white light coming from their sign is really bright so I can imagine the people on the first couple of floors opposite aren't too chuffed.

All of the units are retail. The lady I spke to when viewing said that there will be no wine bars, food shops or anything of the like. There will be an estate agent and a betting shop so far!

Ladbrokes are just across the road - so i assume they're moving across.

No chance they will get an MS simply food!!!!! why's that then ?

There is one in the petrol station on the Old Kent Road, you know the one, it's packed with people form East Dulwich !!!!

I don't know if there is another thread relating to this that i have missed, but for those still interested, tesco have moved in to set up in this unit today. I was told by a chap working there that it should be open in 8weeks time.
