Very intersting that you have received the info from Alleyns but not from Southwark.

Close the South Circular for Dulwich College, Dulwich Prep, Oakfield and Rosemead?????


I ditched my car over lockdown. The anti car rhetoric is a little tiresome - unless there?s a good alternative.

We should all stop car use and switch to driverless pods which roam Autonomously ready to get called!

I have no issue with it being turned into a school street, just thought it was odd that this was the first I had heard of it and given that it turns my road into the drop off point for Alleyn?s parents it would have been polite to be informed. Incidentally, the signs they have put up say no entry except access. The letter makes it clear that there will be no entry for access either

No idea why no letters from the council on that - doesn't sound right that comms only come from Alleyns, but hopefully its all self explanatory now and working well?


I for one absolutely love it being a school street, its transformed cycling over there and provides a safer alternative to East Dulwich Grove for us.

    • 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
