Wine mis-priced and arranged by some one who doesn't understand geography and varities. For lovers of animal cruelty there's abominable chicken for small change, fish and red meats hugely underwhelming, lack of organic foods in general, staff looking forward to proper sleep.


Was a mistake to enter, never again. Farmers' markets and proper high street shops make me happy.

Viable for such a large retail space. Viable for the whole community. Viable as a footfall attraction. A option for the whole community as opposed to the Waitrose brigade. Something that offers bargains. You can?t get bargain buys around ED anymore.

The co-op has had more refits than a shop window manikin. Nothing changes. The service remains shoddy, the staff remain disinterested, the stock remains out of date, and the prices remain stupidly high.


I think it?s about time a alternative was given a chance. Perhaps even a Lidl or Aldi if home bargains doesn?t float your boat?

I think the CoOp on LL has got better. The staff are friendly and will go and check for items without making you think you'd asked for their firstborn, and the shop itself is rarely crowded. There are bargains to be had and the CoOp gives to local charities and gives back to you if you sign up for its loyalty card. I don't want and do not expect a red carpet when I go to buy my teabags. M and S is crowded nearly always because it is a small premises after all, and the management have crammed in many items in too many aisles. Staff are on the whole helpful, even if some don't wear their masks properly or at all (which I mentioned to a member of staff who was supervising).

      Recommendation for garden labourer - Fernando Pinto

      By honor_oak_catherine · Posted

      I'd like to add to these recommendations for Fernando's work... After reading all the positive reviews in this forum, we asked Fernando to help clear some overgrown areas in our garden. He did a great job - our garden is so much tidier than before and with his knowledge of plants he could prune them better than I would have done, so they will grow back healthier and in a good shape.  I'm very happy with his work - our home looks more well-cared for, and it was nice to meet Fernando too - as others have commented he is very kind and polite. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for gardening jobs.

      Looking for a bakery which sells baked goods with fresh cream - are there any?

      By Katherty · Posted

      Thanks all!  KateS - boulangerie Jade is a nice cafe, but they don't do fresh cream cakes. Their eclairs are filled with patisserie cream (a kind of custard), not fresh cream. Azalea- thanks and I've been to Bunhead Bakery (a Palestinian bakery) in Herne Hill a few times. There's a nice chocolate bun they do, which is amazing when then sauce is warmed up. But I haven't seen any fresh cream things there, only white icing. Maybe it's only on a certain day.  And the last time I checked, Ayres bakers in Nunhead don't do fresh cream things. These are the kind of fresh baked goods I'm thinking of....

      Bag of powdery substance found in children’s playground

      By Darren S · Posted

      Warning to parents using the playground in Dulwich Park. My daughter and her friends found a bag of ‘crunchy powder’ in the children’s playground this morning around 11ish. They thought it was ‘popping candy’ and all tried some before seen with it. Request to parents using the playground - if you see plastics bags with suspect looking contents or powder on the floor in the playground or park: pick it up and throw it in the bin. Don’t walk past and think someone else will deal with it. The next person to walk by might be a child who could pick it up not understanding what it could be. Hopefully our daughter and her friends will be ok and it’s a lucky escape. But please be aware in case anyone else’s child may have found it before them.
