I too think Iceland is excellent value for basics - cheaper than either Sainsbury's or the Co-Op, and things like free range eggs and frozen peas are no different in quality.


It's not all cheap pizzas and processed food - you can just avoid those.


And the checkout people are lovely.

There's one on the other side of the road from the Co-Op, isn't there?


I think it's the one which always makes me laugh because the angel (I think it is) in the window is so out of proportion it looks as if it's had its legs chopped off. Sorry if in bad taste.


Presumably Brockley has an older population than ED if it's got four :))


ETA: Or else some dodgy restaurants ..... or bad drivers .....

apart from any suggestions about useful shops, places to eat, etc what Lordship Lane need is SENSIBLE PARKING regulations and maybe even a parking lot - for those of us who don't live within walking distance. You can hardly do some shopping and meet a friend for lunch if you only get 30 minutes' parking. It takes that long to post a letter in the post office!

Does Lordship Lane not have a good bus and train service (via ED station)? Can you not park in a side street like everyone else?


And if you must drive to the PO and park outside, there's a post office at the top of LL by Sainsburys where you'll never have to queue for more than 5 minutes.

Where's that? Sounds like my kinda place...

Otta I think they do all sorts of repairs. There's also various vintage kit for sale, though I don't know enough to determine if it's good gear or not (I'd assume it is because the guy seesm to know his stuff).


No 'extras', for sale down there these days though.

Except between 1-2pm weekdays when the sub postmistress goes on her lunch break.

We went down a while back and found them quite unfriendly.


Mooched around for a while but nobody seemed to want to smile, let alone engage in conversation :(


Maybe it was obvious we were just curious, and probably not potential customers :(

    • 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...
