The One O Clock Club is not closing down! It will be rebuilt, but this isn't likely to happen until next year I believe. There are still discussions going on whether the old one will be knocked down and a new one built on the same site, or whether the new one will be built close to the old one. There are issues such as the outdoor play area, trees and also if built on the same footprint, there will be no club for a while. What was probably going on yesterday for the party funded by the Peckham and Nunhead community Council funds for summer events. My most recent meeting with council officers/cabinet over the future of the club was only a couple of weeks ago.

Hello all, I have been in contact with the Cabinet Member, Cllr Dora Dixon-Fyle. She would have to sign off any proposed closure of the One O clock club. No such thing has happened. She thinks that the current staff at the Peckham Rye one O clock club may have opted to take voluntary redundancy. Also she has told me that many facilities run by children's services are closed next week for annual holiday. She is organising for posters to be put up outside the clud to clarify what is happening and inform users (She is clarifying the exact situation with the club). The community Council did allocate a few hundred pounds for the One O clock club to have a mini-Olympics, summer event.

The parties held at Peckham Rye were to celebrate 50 years of Play Services at Peckham Rye.


Some parents chose to use that opportunity to say goodbye to three play-workers who were leaving.


As next week is a bank holiday and staffing is short there are play sessions at GMH park celebrating the paralympics (parents have been informed of this). Peckham Rye is not having sessions instead they are undergoing scheduled cleaning and also decommissioning of some old equipment.

    • 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" ?
    • 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.
