Fentiman Arms does a decent lunch, if a bit pricey. The deli, Mimi's I think, on the top corner of Brixton Road next to the church, does lovely lunch sandwiches. There's also a new bar, Cable, just down the parade of shops which looks pretty decent although not sure it does food.

Lobster pot is great.


Specially with the background sound of seagulls they play.


( I'm not imaging I heard that once am I ? )


Then there's Roberto's up near Vauxhall (mi6 are prone to leaving breif cases there)& on the road that comes down from the war museum, nearly opposite the law courts on the right, there's an old school Italian place. All black shiny bench seating & a slight mafioso wiff, but bloomin good spaghetti & veal escalope.

the Bonnington cafe at vauxhall is fantastic, its a veggie/vegan co-op with different chefs daily and lovely food even if you are an ardent meat lover. combined with delicious, reasonably priced menus its also a BYO so makes for an inexpensive eve. very relaxing and laidback place too.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
