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"

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
