The Shard officially opens today...


When it opens to the Public it will cost ?25.00 to see the view from the Viewing Gallery.

They estimate there will be 1,000,000 spectators a year.


You can get around paying this money by buying your own appartment...


Estimated cost ?50M.


The shard has approx 40 parking spaces.


Bargain..

I think the joke was wasted on you...


The fact that you can see for I don't know how many miles.. would not matter where you parked it.

Like Camberwell..???


Why do folk here take eveything so litterally ?


Having said that....


Having worked in that area for most of the last 20 years (pre 2008)

I can assure you many people do try and park there and regularly get clamped or removed..

TOP TIP instead of paying a meagre ?25 for one poxy viewing, you could always PAY EVEN MORE and book into the hotel which takes up floors 35-50 (I think) of the Shard and enjoy the view from dusk till dawn...


I cannot imagine what it would be like going up to the top floor (95?), makes me shiver just thinking about it.

Actually, come to think about it....

My thread isn't about The Shard per se


Though my particular post is. You can post whatever you "come to think about" on that thread


(do feel free to add your own a.c.t.t.a.i's)



Hope that clears things up

Bermondsey st notwithstanding, that north end of southwark has some well grim areas. So from that perspective that statement stands


From the rich and wealthy end of the things, I only have to mention anything about london bridge area (not the station) and I may as well be talking about mars to many of my colleagues

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
