See there is building activity in both the vacant shop next to Cafe Nero and where Sally's was. Anyone know what's going into them?


Any ideas on what's happening to the Green & Blue premises or the printing/copying place next to Kaval newsagents? We seem to have quite a few places vacant on the Lane at present.

An Italian Ice-cream place is taking over Sally's (there are multiple threads on this). I've heard the guy's behind Beggin' Bowl on Bellenden Road are negotiating for Green and Blues space but I don't know if they have secured it yet. Not sure about the vacant place next the Cafe Nero. Isn't that were the cannabis farm was?

The drugs bust was above threshers, and the roof is coming away inside. Not sure why there are shops empty in ED. I know the overheads will be high but its such a desirable place to have a business. Must be a sign of the financial situation.

It took us ages to get a shop to rent there.

There have been empty shops on different parts of the lane for a long time - the old off-licence that became Bossman Wines (was it an Unwins?) was empty for ages before being re-used and Threshers has been vacant for a good while now - there can't be that many businesses falling over themselves to pay the astronomical rent being asked.


Anyone know whether the shop next to Wm. Rose has ever been open, I mean ever?*

maritap - I've only been here for 10 years, but I heard than an elderly lady lives in the premises next to WR, and is not interested in selling. So that's that.


Ever since I've been here, there has always been at least a couple of empty shops along Lordship Lane at any time. They will become occupied sooner or later, and others will become vacant.

Yes, I've heard the building where the cannabis farm was is also owned by some old guy who refuses to lease the place to anyone who won't live above it or something weird which is why its remained vacant. There is tons of demand from businesses who want to open but that doesn't mean they will all be a hit. Some will fail and new ones will replace them- it happens all the time. It's not a sign of anything except that not every business is well run / viable / tastes change and that our economy is capitalist!

I noticed they had a for sale sign up a few days ago with a flat above.

Funnily enough I was never tempted to go in there as it always looked a bit dark and lacking in atmosphere.

but still its sad to see any buisness close

    • I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't. 
    • It was you who  made it personal in the first place,  Jazzer. You said you didn't feel safe in the streets,  and you said you didn't go to Central London because you didn't feel safe there. So are you now saying that wasn't "personal"? "Fire from the hip." Another interesting choice of words 🙄 I'm not "demanding" anything! I asked you some perfectly reasonable questions in  response to your own statements. None of which you have answered. Never mind. It seems to be pointless having a discussion with you. It's long past my bedtime. I'm going to turn on my sleep app  and go to sleep 😴💤
    • Hi Forumites, This afternoon someone in a dark blue/black saloon car collided with my parked car on Thompson Road, SE22 9JR. I have a neighbour’s doorbell cam footage of the collision at 14:30 19/09/2025 but am unable to identify the registration plate. If anyone has footage of a car travelling down Thompson Road towards Crystal Palace Road at that time please PM me. Of course if the Perp would like to confess they can also PM me. Thankyou.
