Anyone know anything about the household renovation rubbish dumped at top on North Cross road next to the cycle storage unit opposite the actress??


Can?t believe anyone would have that much front to fly tip in such a built up area but unfortunately looks like this is what?s happened.


Thought would just check before trying to report to the council/ police

Opposite the Actress, in Upland Rd, next to the Old Police Station,there's a silver Renault with a Southwark Council notice on it saying it was moved from another road to that position by them. It's now been there for weeks and the notice has faded so you can no longer read the road it was removed from. Presumably the owner either doesn't know it's there, or doesn't want it.

Yep, the cycle hangar has always been completely empty whenever I've walked past.


I don't think the council can put them up to the corner because they stick out too far. So they put them about 4/5ths of a car length away so there is no room for a car at the junction side, thus taking up almost three normal spaces.

Yes sad when builders and others, including private individuals, feel that it is fine to drive to a country road (or Camberwell old cemetery) and dump building waste, tyres and the like. I don't go with any of the argument that it is due to the cost/hassle of using local authority tips, including difficulties during Covid. I know of geezers and the like driving around with old vans, caged trucks and the like, offering services, which are totally ligit, so don't always go by looks! But if you are having cut price building or gardening work will be worth checking for your own sanity/sleeping at night that your trash wont end up in a verge.

I think some of you are being a bit miserly here. They are using a tiny bit of road that has no utility at all for anyone else to temporarily place items they are removing from their site. There is no space for a skip there and this is the most considerate way they could do their work.


They could be less considerate and just pile it against the wall each day while they wait for parking spot to come free so that they can load it into a van.

No problem with that whatsoever.. just initially looked like a load of dumped stuff ... as long as all rules are being complied with.. not sure I agree re the skip placement- ok maybe not a space directly outside the house so potentially they might need to walk a further 5 yards to get to it.. more likely to be cost saving exercise
It is a pretty colour of yellow on that house but a pity the landlord/owner won't paint over the scrawl. (I noticed that some of the vandalised shops in the area have had a clean up, which is good and hopefully will aid retail post lockdown, even if it's just a small contribution.)

    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!)
    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has.
