Other large chains include Gourmet Burger, the Co-Op, Londis and Iceland. Smaller chains (meaning more than one shop in London) include Le Chardon, Hope and Greenwood, Paine and Hunters, Jo Partridge, Jo Jo Mamans, BC Bikes, Willis B...


Just saying, we have plenty of the "dreaded chains" already. I agree with you that I like the scale and character of ED (including the existing chain stores).

I have to disagree, and I really dislike the way Lordship Lane has trendified over the years. I can't think of a clothing shop that I would want to buy anything from, but I would like to be able to buy clothes and get my food shopping locally. Even a branch of Next or H&M would be an improvement on what we've got. I see nothing wrong in having some chain more chain stores - as for supermarkets, in my opinion almost anything would be an improvement on the Co-op or Iceland.

Perhaps we should just pull Lordship Lane down and turn it into the South London equivalent of Bluewater...


The rest of ED could be the car park.


Then you could have all the shops you are yearning to see here :))


(I don't think a shop with two or three branches really counts as a "chain", does it?)

Small chain I think. I don't mind. I like shops that sell things I want no matter how many of them there are if the service is good etc. Most of the stuff people are asking for already exists in ED but off Lordship Lane. Explore some more!

This was my my full generation idea to make it more upmarket


NCP car park with intergrated coffee shop and estate agents with a new Indian to supply snacks.


Perhaps also to include a hidden ICELAND. In New York the latest fad is prohibition bars this could be an upmarket whizz for some ED people

Independent stationers closed down only a couple of years ago from what is now Give + Take next to the EDT, so can't see it working now if it didn't then.

Aah yes, who can forget the happy independent stationer's atmosphere, the delightful carping at fellow staff/family and the ld-fashioned customer-friendly catchphrases such as:


"What do you want that one for?"


"You've touched it, you'll have to buy it"


"Women like you shouldn't be working, you should be at home with your kids"

      It's not far from Lordship Lane if you cut down Ashbourne Grove/Melbourne Grove. Depends where you start from, I guess!

      I doubt if it was something special - it has been full a few times I've been recently and when I have been able to get a space I've been lucky and bagged the only one available. I think there are only around 15 general spaces. Others are for staff, blue badge holders or EVs. I guess in winter people are more likely to drive, it wouldn't take much to fill all the spaces with the different things going on at the surgery/pharmacy such as blood tests, picking up prescriptions. It's possible a lot of the cars are in and out in 15 mins, i've not monitored it closely. This morning with all spaces filled when I arrived there were a couple of cars loitering in the hope of a space becoming available. I didn't want to risk it. As has been said, you can drive in and out and be caught on camera and not get a ticket but I'm not sure what the grace period is, if there is one.  Like you, I don't think a significant number of people are parking there to go shopping - it's too far from Lordship Lane as I found out this morning when i had to run from LL to Tessa Jowell! i guess the car parking spaces just can't cope with the number of legit drivers using Tessa Jowell and if that's the case not a lot can be done about it.

      Wanted near Bellenden Road: firewood. If you have any spare or unwanted firewood (e.g. left by previous owners), please let me know. Thanks!

      I go there quite regularly (don't ask), on my own behalf and as a chauffeur for family. I have never noted people parking up, going in and then straight out again once registered. Some times of day (and some days) are much busier than others, as you might expect, especially during winter vaccination season.
