What does Lordship Lane need?

[LondonMix]

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).

Sushi!

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.

A shop where you could purchase toasters, microwaves, computer accessories, hoovers etc instead of having to go to large outlets of sainsburys/homebase.

Clothes shop selling reasonable price clothing for those of us who are size 18 plus,

[alosinom67]

A good Sushi bar.

[ennevive]

It's pretty obvious that Lordship Lane needs a Boots or a Superdrug. :-)

[badger]

sushi!

and somewhere that sells ink cartridges...

NCP care park with intergrated coffee shop and estate agents perhaps including also a hidden Iceland shop

NCP car park with intergrated coffee shop and estate agents. Perhaps also to include a hidden ICELAND

[richard tudor]

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 probition bars this could be an upmarket whizz for ED people

Yes an E.D. Poundland where everything costs a Tenner.

Would put every other 99p shop out of business.

Fox.

Japanese and a decent Thai

[richard tudor]

Its illegal to eat human flesh

[LondonMix]

Have you tried Thai Corner Cafe? It looks like someone's front room but the food is great!

Better, less wonky and wider pavements.

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?)

[richard tudor]

I already in an earlier message suggested a NCP. Carpark with shops

[LondonMix]

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!

Sorry, missed it.

But we seem to be on the same wavelength Lordship Lane-wise :)

I'd love to see an independent stationers/art supplies shop.

This wonderful old fashioned place in Finsbury Park is still thriving

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

[randombloke]

For people to stop bleating about the bloody place on The East Dulwich Forum It does my cake in, really it does.

[te37v]

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.

[Ted Max]

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"
