They've moved the shop up the Plough end of the Lane. There's a note in the window with the details.

That's strange, because there's a florist there already - on the corner opposite the library .....

Its not unusual for similar businesses to lie close to one another. The average consumer doesn?t know exactly what they want: they want to buy flowers and clusters generally gravitate customers towards the area as they know they have options when they get there. It benefits all parties and should also improve the level of service (and price, quality etc). Think Hatton Gardens for diamonds, as well as electronics stores and fast food chains (McDonalds often near KFC).


Another bizarre comment that ice-cream wont work in ED. If I am not mistaken, ED has alot of young families with kids ... so if it were to work in other parts of London, I find it hard to understand why it wont work here. I know its a crappy day today, but in warmer months it should be a big hit! I love ice-cream!

Thanks, interesting. DavidH Scoop (on Melbourne Grove) came on the forum a while back and said they had to close for a short while. They want to reopen but they might need to find new premises if I remember correctly.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.     
    • Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
