DulwichParker Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Hi thereMy girlfriend and I are moving to the south end of Lordship Lane near the old Grove Tavern in December. We can’t wait.We’ve read the threads about the tavern itself, but we were wondering if anyone knew of any other development plans or new openings in that part of Lordship Lane? Thanks,Seb Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/316542-the-south-end-of-lordship-lane/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bic Basher Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I live in that part of LL and it's the forgotten part of ED. There's the Dulwich Beer Dispensary bar on the corner of Melford Road and Dulwich Park is close enough, but what it doesn't have in shops, it makes up for in excellent public transport with buses to the more busier part of LL and Forest Hill has various bars too. It's also very close to Horniman Museum and Forest Hill station.

malumbu Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I'd say the less pretentious part of SE22. You are close to the Plough and the cluster of shops. Interesting walk up Dawson Heights. And the Castle pub, the least pretentious pub in the area.Nice walks up Sydenham Hill too!I'm teasing about pretentious. Well maybe.....

Bic Basher Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Years ago it had a chemist, post office, a decent grocers, newsagents, baker and a butcher on that row of shops opposite The Grove, but I rarely use those shops, the last time I went there was to Toolstation of all places!I'll walk up to the shops by The Plough instead or go to Forest Hill.

Scottfield Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Worth noting that the Beer Dispensary is currently "Closed until further notice" according to the sign in the window and has been for several weeks.

ab29 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I live in the area too and I like it except the traffic which is awful.True about the lack of shops; the few opposite the derelict pub I call the 70ties - nothing there except for a flower shop. Rather dodgy take-aways, always fly tipping at the pavements.It's always the very last part of LL to have the leaves cleared in autumn.

malumbu Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Tool Station and the tile shop. What not to like. HSS used to be there and of course in the past the motorbike dealer Streamline.The little shops and takeaway survive, so most be making money. It also reminds me of what SE22 was like when I moved to the area, ie run down.

jazzer Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Toolstation - a huge plus, there's even one opening in the centre of Lewisham, glad to see them expanding opening new branches.

YazzieSE22 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 The girlfriend here. Thanks for all your responses! Good to know that the South End of LL still feels somewhat authentic. The flat we’ve bought is about 10ft from the Toolstation - mixed feelings about being so close to that parade of shops but handy for when we do any DIY! It’s just a shame there aren’t more everyday shops eg chemist, butcher post office etc although as you say, bus connections are good. Thanks for the pub recommendations too - looking forward to exploring the area!

If you walk down to Forest Hill (10mins walk) you'll pass a fabulous Butcher opposite SainsburyPost office in WHsmith next to FH station, Deli in AGA's on Dartmouth rd or the Pantry behind FH station, Theres Superdrug and a 'proper' Chemist Boots is on dartmouth rd.There's probably more that I've forgotten but they're an easy stroll away from your end of LL Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/316542-the-south-end-of-lordship-lane/#findComment-1599833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bic Basher Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 There's also a Tesco Express 5-7 min walk or two bus stops away from where Toolstation is. Luckily there's the option to either bus it to Forest Hill station or bus it which takes around 5 mins.I hope you guys enjoy living on Streamline Mews.

malumbu Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Expect Sainsbury's is nearer but not sure whether this is better on price or variety. Use both as convenience stores.

NewWave Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Oh! and I forgot!theres a farmers market in Horniman gardens on Sundays..Its a bit sparse on stalls at times but still nice to go to to get non-supermarket food Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/316542-the-south-end-of-lordship-lane/#findComment-1599986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bic Basher Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Expect Sainsbury's is nearer but not sure whether this is better on price or variety. Use both as convenience stores. It's about the same walking time to Tesco Express in Forest Hill or the Sainsbury's Local on LL.
