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.

Please register and use this 10% discount at checkout for online sales - NCR10


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!

    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s.
