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.


Time wasters

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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
