Is Hope & Greenwood closing down?!

Recommended Posts

Just browsing through estate agent listings online and notice that Hope & Greenwood's building on North Cross Road is for sale. We adore that place.. can only hope that this is just a change of freeholder and doesn't mean that the retail tenants are moving out.

Anyone care to confirm or deny?

I agree with jimbo - I fear the worst as surely the business owners would have kept up appearances if they were going to stay. We've been upping our doses of their very excellent ice cream, just in case. It will be such a shame if they leave their birth place.


Off to the gym first thing tomorrow.

Sue - they host the BBC2 show Sweets Made Simple and they make great presenters. Good luck to them. There is a similar shop in Forest Hill - Sugar Mountain, Dartmouth Road near Forest Hill Pools and very reasonable too!

They're doing far better than you predicted. Shops in central London and now Japan. TV series etc.

    • The plans The developer Berkeley Homes have submitted a planning application to redevelop the Aylesham Centre close to the junction of Peckham High Street and Rye Lane, containing Morrison’s supermarket, car park, & petrol station, Aylesham shopping arcade and most of that side of Rye Lane between Hanover Park and Peckham High Street. The application is for a mixed housing, retail, leisure and commercial development, in buildings ranging from 5 to 20 storeys. Impact Local people who have studied the detailed plans think that the development would dominate the historic town centre which has evolved since the 18th century, and would ruin the Conservation Area which was awarded in 2011 'to preserve and enhance its character and appearance'. More than 65% of the homes to be built in this unimaginative over-bearing development will be unaffordable by most people who live in Southwark, and provide inadequate open and green space for this part of Peckham. Need for discussion This is such an important issue for south London that it needs wide discussion before the Council Planning Committee takes its decision (not before next Spring). A free on-line talk and discussion to clarify the heritage issues we all need to think about is being held on Monday 11th November 7-8.30pm. All will be welcome. Please register on this link: https://Defend-Peckhams-Heritage-2024.eventbrite.co.uk There are several other key issues raised by the plans which are being examined in the Aylesham Community Action (ACA) campaign. You can find the link to all that and other useful information here: www.linktr.ee/acapeckham The zoom session is being arranged by Peckham Heritage the local group that has grown from the community work alongside the restoration of nine historic buildings in Peckham High Street through the Townscape Heritage Initiative. We hope that EDF members who value local heritage will be able to attend the session to hear and take part in the discussion, and report back to this topic so the discussion can continue.
