Is Hope & Greenwood closing down?!

Recommended Posts

From what I understand Mark & Kitty sold the building, but the new landlord has kicked them out (I've heard stories of outrageous money grabbing rent increases from other landlords in the area recently).


The online shop, big store concessions and homeware sides must be doing ok, so an expensive shop in East Dulwich is probably an overhead too far. Note the TV show did not refer to the 'Hope & Greenwood' brand, being BBC.

Recently the TV show, previously book deals, so maybe the shops and their loyal clientele don't figure too much now.

Dear All,


Raising my head over the parapet here to put a few points straight but more importantly to say how overwhelmed we are by the messages, tweets, emails and especially the hugs both Miss H and I received on Friday on NCR.


Regrettably after 10 years we have closed the door on this branch; our last trading day was yesterday.


The building is owned by a landlord who wishes to make use of the retail premises for their own business and we wish them well in their venture.


All staff at NCR have been deployed to other areas within Hope and Greenwood. Scarlett the manager has gone to our Covent Garden branch where she will be a very active part of the team, I know how much she'll be missed by ED.


As mentioned Covent Garden is open, 7 days a week, if you're in the area please pop in and available online for mail order at www.hopeandgreenwood.co.uk.

Thank you all for your custom over the last 10 years, we?re proud of the fact Hope and Greenwood started in East Dulwich, the area I first moved into in 1982.


Best wishes


Mark Greenwood & Kitty Hope.

Well yes but at the time they were just a tiny retro sweetshop!


Obviously I'm delighted they've done so well!

    • Well I don’t approve for a shop doing the same food to open so near - just wrong in my opinion. Why not go to the village, Peckham - foot fall would be great in Peckham and certainly more multi  cultural than ED. Village has money but doubt foot fall would be as good as ED.  At least they could have gone to the stretch leading up to Peckham Rye or why not bottom of Barry Road?? Or even North Cross Road I for one, on principal won’t be going in.
    • Heh yeah haven't even bothered to remove the emdash. The OP is AI slop as well.
    • The street directory is on Ancestry and you'll need a subscription to access.  It's reasonably easy to navigate though you have to find the page you're looking for by a combination of trial and error/guesswork.  https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/61265/images/47056_263021009499_1592-00159?usePUB=true&_phsrc=Soz1793 There is though also a general search page for London directories where the street name can be entered in the keyword field and results will take you to the specific pages. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/61265/
