Dali, don't worry, I didn't know what a Pop-up Shop was until about 8 months ago. That's when I bought a cardigan and jumper in the once Threshers wine shop on Lordship Lane. Basically I think it's somewhere someone can sell their goods for a few weeks/months.


Seems like this shop has gone to waste on Lordship Lane. Must be the ?39k!

Dali, let's face facts.


If you don't have the wits to find out who lets these business premises (still under administration) then what hope do you have for running a successful business. It's a bit like the tattoo parlour/cinema threads on here.

I seem to remember that someone on this forum mentioned that this shop had some sort of restrictive covenant that it could only be an off-licence, or was it that the freeholder required this? Maybe also that they required the lessee to live above. I can't find this thread now though

the freeholder is or was a very elderly guy who lives miles away and who still insists on it being an offie and, what is more, with the manager living above. that is the very seriously glue like sticking point. many have been interested including guy sparkes the organic butcher who has the van on north cross road. little hope of this lovely piece of lordship retail space being occupied in the near future

One of the freeholders is a friend of my wife's parents. I'll see what I can find out, but I'm not sure its as simple as this.

Unless you are Foxtons on LL. There's hardly anyone in that place whenever I walk past. There's another retail space that's crying out to be turned into a productive shop, restaurant, or... well... anything really. Anything except an estate agents.

Back to Threshers. It doesn't seem to have separate access to the flat without going through the shop, so it could only be let to someone wanting to run the shop and live above it. Alternatively the shop could be made narrower and a separate access made onto the street but this will be expensive and it doesn't seem as if the current owner is likely to have this done.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
