Buildbase is a flagship store for small businesses and DIY people and one of the few left in this part of London. The Council's borough plans are for redevelopment of the site on both sides of Blackpool Road. This would mean the end of that store there.


The plans are coming up at the Public Hearings of the New Southwark Plan in the summer. If you have a view on the future of Blackpool Road or any other part of that area you will be welcome at the community meeting on Wednesday 4th March 7-8pm refreshments from 6.30pm at Peckham Palms in Bournemouth Close (between the Atwell Estate and Rye Lane, opposite Choumert Road).


We will give an update on the plans and the Public hearings at the meeting, and gather views of those present that we can add to our collection of local views to present to the Inspectors at the Hearing.

    • Thanks penguin  always wondered about that place and that’s way more info than I ever thought I would get  (used to live above a gun nut on friern road - he would tell me nothing)
    • There was a Saturday afternoon crowd of enthusiasts, and at other times the owner might have been off acquiring stock. He also repaired air guns, which he also sold. He stocked edged weapons, uniforms, including antique uniforms, air guns and ammo and starting pistols and shot. Some medals and other militaria. Quite a lot of ex service chit chat on a Saturday. I had an amateur interest, didn't deal a lot, in English pattern swords and other mainly 19th century militaria. And made some good purchases there. I'm afraid WWII and later events was the major focus of most of the regulars. 
    • Did anyone actually venture in to that place? I recall it always being closed/very uninviting!
    • Perry Bamonte from The Cure.. Just 65 years old.
