So this morning we woke up to a flurry of activity by council workers at the Old Grove Tavern. They’ve removed all the fly posters from the outside hoarding. They are jet washing the outside to remove some of the graffiti and we’re pulling up weeds in the path section. I know the local kids have moved in for the skate park but does this mean something else is happening. There isn’t anything on the council planning website. Anyone know?

Hello,
I'm posting here a heads up since it sounded like you are all close to the Grove Tavern site.
Sat 8th July 2023: Noon - 6pm (free entry), there will be an Open Stage amateur music live event. Please note, the scale is smaller than the very loud 2 x past (professional) music events - I wasn't involved in either. Nevertheless, you are likely to notice of the increased noise level.

1. I obtained a Temporary Event Notice for the upcoming event from Southwark Council, and the local police is aware of the event too
2. The scale of the upcoming Open Stage is a lot smaller than the very loud 2 x past events
3. We guarantee to stop the noise by 6pm because the hire company needs to start de-rigging at 6pm sharp.

We have a smooth techno DJ to kick off, but some bands can be quite noisy 'hardcore death punk' genre, so please be warned of the non-melodious frenzied beats and deathly roars coming from the Grove on that day...

This is a free event, so you're very welcome to pop in, otherwise please accept my apologies for the more-than-usual noise level.

I'd be grateful if you could pass on the info to your neighbours. This event means a lot to the teenage DJ/bands who's been practising hard in the run-up to this event.

Kind regards,
Tilly -The Grove Skatepark support-

EVENT CANCELLED for Sat 8th July
Sadly, there were paperwork oversights which I couldn't make it work in time.

Luckily, the majority of equipment was cancelled in time, so no massive financial loss from this setback. We're hoping to find a licensed venue in the area for the DJ/bands to enjoy the Open Stage, nevertheless.

    • 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.
