Deptford got one of these first... http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vZjevLZzt7E/T_ptFEfsuDI/AAAAAAAAEUk/bXpiR7eer1Q/s320/IMG_1429.JPG




Y'see, Waitrose see these and realise that people have correspondingly more cash for marinated elvers and such and so move in to the area... ergo you need to convince Poundland to move to the Lane first. Problem solved.

ED has recently sent out a clear message that it is not open for business. Cant blame Waitrose and M&S for focussing their priorities elsewhere.

Haha my friend in Bellenden Road sent me a link to this thread (I am a former EDer and EDFrs, now New Cross). If it makes you feel any better, the Waitrose is not opening up in "Deptford as it currently exists", but in the gigantic riverside yuppie flat developments that are opening soon, and are essentially a westward extension of Greenwich.


But yeah guys, keep the faith!!!!

Maybe, but that hasn't stopped Tesco Metro and Sainbury's Local setting up in recent years.

The Evening Standard has basically PRETENDED that Deptford is getting a Waitrose (when in fact Greenwich is getting a Waitrose) in order to drum up interest in one of its major advertisers riverside developments, New Capital Quay. Hence why the article was followed by a full page advert flogging flats in New Capital Quay.


The new store is 100% west of Deptford Creek, the 'border' between Greenwich and Deptford and therefore 100% in SE10 (Greenwich) and not in SE8 (Deptford).


Waitrose themselves list it as being Greenwich, which it is - http://www.waitrose.com/content/waitrose/en/bf_home/bf.html


It is to be a large store I believe, over 30k sq ft, and opens at the end of July along with a heap of other shops, restaurants and cafes.

    • Highly recommend new local business Bird & Co. Anthony and Elise are very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, helpful and great to work with. They're very responsive (which is so important when you're trying to put on an event) and they quickly sorted the catering that we needed (middle eastern canapes and wraps). It was absolutely delicious and they thought of everything to create an awesome atmosphere. Everyone was raving about them afterwards, you can't get much better than that! @Anthony Birdinio and @Elise Barnes big big thank you to you both and the team!   https://www.birdandcoevents.co.uk/ Number: 07713 665891 Email: [email protected]
    • Bird & Co are amazing! Will leave a proper review on the recommendations section, but they're a great team, care about food, and know how to put on events.
    • This is very sad news. We absolutely love this place. The food and the atmosphere is amazing.    @Maria - is there anything we can do to support you and your case? Would it be worth members of the forum writing to the local councillor to ask them to look into the situation?   Best of luck and we hope to see you open again soon. 
    • Highly recommend Everton (Smart Choice Driving -  https://maps.app.goo.gl/6JGZeFF9LjoczC3Y6?g_st=ipc ). Incredibly patient, caring and competent.
