Be careful of old time posters asking how to turn dog poo into a useable household fuel!

Lordship Lane needs a Marks and Sparks food hall instead of the Co Op if you ask me. There are also far too many indian restaurants? a petition for signage should be drawn up so that all outlets have a well designed, tasteful sign. Most do but the odd one here and there stands out like a sore thumb and lets the side down. This would improve the image of the lane and make ed even more desirable with a simple cosmetic facelift such as signage. A good sign and shop front should be consistent throughout the lane

Stalinist.

The council are providing grants for shops on the south-end of LL to smarten up signage etc. Its part of a regeneration scheme.

So - M&S/Waitrose, Primark and WH Smith?


Lovely - they'll really add to the ED atmosphere :)

A Large Cinema...


that we could turn into A Bingo Hall...


that we could Close Down..


That we could Board Up..


That we could leave it to fall apart...


so we could pull it down and build some Cardboard Flats.


That we can sell for a fortune...


Cos everyone wants to live in ED.

Primark might be your idea of a decent, reasonably priced clothes shop, but it isn't mine. There are plenty of shops offering good quality clothes at sensible prices which would probably do very well in Lordship Lane against the dire overpriced clothing shops that we have at the moment. And yes, I think a M&S and stationers would add to the area, particularly if they were to replace some of the coffee shops that have sprung up everywhere.

In all seriousness, not a lot. Wouldn't mind the addition of a few things, but they're really just luxuries rather than anything ED really needs.


1 or 2 screen cinema, maybe

Somewhere that does nice Ice Cream/FroYo as a sideline

A few fewer curry houses

Some sort of rustic italian or spanish joint


But really, compared with most places, we're spoilt. Enjoy what you have whilst it lasts.

But Lordship Lane will then end up looking exactly the same as every other high street in the country :(


A large part of its charm is that it doesn't have chain stores - whether clothes, stationers, M&S or whatever.


We've already got bloody Oliver Bonas, *hite Stuff and Cafe Nero, isn't that enough??? Not to mention F*xt**s!

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
