I haven't been out much, and I just noticed this today.


The front inside is laid out as a shop, as it used to be when the Blue Mountain first opened back in the early nineties.


It seems they will do deliveries (menu in the window).



Does anybody have any more information?


Also, why has Maison Dog got its window boarded up? Has it closed down, or has somebody broken the window?

I walk past these 2 shops every day, i must say, a dog grooming shop seems like a very unnecessary thing in life. I have plenty of money to spend, but getting my dog minded in a shop would be the last way id spend it. It will do just fine in my house with a bowl of water and a bit of food left out.


I have gone out with some vegan women in the past and it was jolly hard trying to find a restaurant to schmooze them. In the end, i vowed to never go out with a vegan or vegetarian women again.

Back to the thread subject - the blue mountain vegan has an instagram account so maybe have a look on there - i thought it was the original blue mountain team, but might be wrong - didn't look in detail. Anyway, a vegan cafe will probably be well received and there isn't another one locally so its great. Nice to see some independents being able to move back in - hopefully that will be the up side of the empty units in that the huge rents previously being wanted are unachievable for landlords, bringing them into the level of more interesting independents. There's a new Georgian wine place opening where Tart was for example too.

One of my neighbours says that it IS the original Blue Mountain team (they had a chat with them) - crikey, from the early nineties then!


Thanks for the info re Instagram, I'll have a look.


Yes, delighted to see a vegan place locally.


Very sad to hear that Tart has permanently gone, but glad to see another independent place is opening there. I hope the lovely conservatory at the back won't be changed too much.

Sounds from Admin's comment on the other thread that it is a repeat offender. Or at least someone known to Admin.

Yes I saw the original chap (Mel I think) in there directing operations the other day - really pleased to see them back. I loved the original Blue Mountain, was a regular haunt with my little ones and they're now big & vegan so will be lovely to let them take me there!

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
