I don't want to see LL ending up like any other boring high street with bookies, pound shops and fast food joints and nothing else. I know many on here would be glad to see the back of the 'tat shops' but I like the independent boutiques and veg shops.

Let's hope the space becomes something useful yet stylish (slightly tongue in cheek that last comment).

I've lived in ED for eight years and have never been into the Ralon stationers - does not everyone get their stationery for work???

I'm not sure we need anything else on the lane, maybe another fried chicken shop, I went into one of those on New Years Day and gosh it hit the spot, grease everywhere, very nice, first time i've been in that one in eight years too but now I have got the taste for it I intend making regular trips, although I did find myself going in there hoping noone would recognise me, as if it was a guilty pleasure.

Anyway I guess the space is too small for M&S, so what about an Agent selling Estate Agents shops, that would be ironic.

Mick Mac - could you supply all of us with stationery?? :)


Not all of us work with free stationery on offer at our workplace, or maybe don't work but still need bits and bobs.

While not a fan of Raylon (haven't had problems with them but always seems a strange atmosphere there) think what they offer can be useful.

He's always been very pleasant to me, and so has everybody else in the shop.


I will be sorry to see it go, personally - it's been really useful to have a stationers within walking distance.

I agree. It is not a WHS-type place but a proper stationer's/art stationer's, a bit like the one in the Village, and I think the last one in LL/NCR? It is hard to see what could take over the premises that is not already available at several other shops around ED, so in that sense LL is going to lose some of its character.

550k was for a lease not freehold. The other shop under offer will apparently be a barbers shop.

Actually, changed my mind. I'd go further and say take your Wimpy bar and put it up your bottom as far as throat level.

Right now, Nando's take-away, late night.

And local delivery.

    • Gosh, that all sounds so familiar!  Southwark are constantly holding up their Outdoor Events Policy as proof of process, but then constantly allow exceptions when things aren't quite done correctly. Point in case, Gala's licence application - extract from the Consultation Findings Report - "The GALA team formally submitted their application to hold GALA 2025 to the council on the 7 October 2024. It is usually a requirement that applications for larger scale events are submitted with a minimum of 9 months to process them, but discretion can be applied if there are mitigating circumstances. 8.4 of the Outdoor Events Policy clarifies that processing applications received outside the stated lead-in times is at the Council's discretion. In this case: • The council were aware that Assembled Gala were preparing an application for the event to take place in 2025 in advance of their submission date, with operational discussions already taking place • GALA festival has been taking place in Peckham Rye Park since 2018 – less time is needed regarding event planning than if it were a new event • The GALA team already have a Premises Licence in place for this event (this is a pre- requisite for the Event Licence to be issued), so no time needed to be factored in for a premises licence application and decision-making process" So despite the fact that there would need to be major planning decisions due to the change of site access, they didn't think Gala needed to adhere to the same rules as everyone else? Makes me wonder what other rules they are exempted from... On a similar note, has anyone received a Resident Communication letter, containing the contact details for issues? We haven't, and we live directly opposite the site on Colyton Rd. They were supposedly distributed on 29/4...
