I live above the dentists and havent noticed any new cafe(then again I did lose my eyesight in a freak kite flying accident)...could it be true? Is this an attempt by the residents of Lordship Lane to provide a safety run off for all the yummy mummies occupying everywhere with a seat on the lane. Good thinking. I shall visit forthwith.
I'm all for it. Hopefully it'll help that parade 'get better'. The revamped launderette, the beauty parlour, Si Mangia, Anatolya and the established businesses are all good, but there's still an air of shabbiness about the place. Does anyone know who owns the yellow and blue place next to the barber's? It's a dump. And what is the blue place on the corner? PM me if anyone knows. Nero
The yellow and blue place used to be the Morrocan type bistro (something Tree I think), then it moved to where Si Mangia is now before being took over by Si Mangia staff. The owner of the old Moroccan place is still around as I see him occasionally.

It was called Two Trees - I was racking my brain trying to remember it!

It may be a bit premature to visit as yet. They only picked the keys up today. :))

I loved Two Trees when it was in the 'yellow and blue' shop, it just went down-hill when it moved to where the Italian is now, shame as it was really popular before it moved.


I see Anatolya is closed AGAIN for refurbishments, I'm sure there is a link between new eating places opening and Anatolya closing to re-invent itself, the funny thing is I have rarely seen anyone in there so am wondering how the place makes any money! :-S


Will be great to have a new coffee shop will mean I don't have to sit outside in the cold to avoid all the awful noisy children in the park cafe!!! >:D<

I think its a tough stretch to make a restaurant work there. One of those dead spots.Could be a coffee shop could open it up a bit. Its very functional, chemist,post office, barber, newsagent, bookies, launderette. Not really an evening spot or afternoon hang out type of area is it? Will take imagination to make it work.
I agree that FHR is predominantly functional in terms of businesses there, but am confident that a revamped Anatolya and a new coffee shop will encourage more interest from customers and perhaps other businesses. Nevertheless, I still would like the parade to be pleasanter in terms of the way it looks. We'll see. Nero
I walked past the other day and a tall blonde lady was opening up for the builders with the biggest dog I have ever seen. Looked a bit like an Irish Wolfhound, but black rather than grey. She said "slowly" when I asked how the builders were getting on. Great news and just what the parade needs.
Thumbs up for this. I hope it works out well. Any new addition to this part of the area has to be good. After the lovely people at Si Mangia moved there last year all this parade needs is a few more better shops and or restaurants. Hopefully Anatolya will be up and running again soon as well or maybe in another guise. This parade of shops just needs a little sprucing up and it could be very pleasant.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
