Can anyone tell me if East Dulwich Police Station is now closed and, if not, when it is expected to close? I grew up in East Dulwich and remember when they built it. Haven't been back for many years but I'm writing a book that features the station and want to get things right.

Thanks

Wow! It's been threatening to close for several years,

and there were talks of M&S moving in.

Are the stables still being used? I remember taking my

children there. The police were always friendly, and welcoming.

A historical gem that will be missed by so many of us.


PS Hi Rose. Good luck with your book. I would love to read it.

Keep us posted

Red Rose,


A bit of history.

Used to go and collect bags of horse manure from the skip in their yard, very useful for the allotment. Had to take our own shovel though, they used to keep getting their one's stolen!


Very interested to see what it will become, could take a very long time to be developed/reoccupied. Purpose built in 1979; not really a lot of use for a building that was expensive to build - I imagine.


Cheers.

Fine ill rephrase... there are many you probably wont like old and new.


Now kindly back off davidh with your "stupid" comments. I was not speaking to you.

Im entitled to my own opinions which are based on my own experience on the way the area has changed over the last say 30 years whether you like them or not

Nothing appears to be built to last these days, i*rate. Thanks for the history. I remember Lordship Lane BEFORE they built the police station. Moved out in the mid-80s and have only been back a couple of times since then, but not for at least 15 years. Chez Nico had just opened its doors and was getting good reviews, even though the locals didn't believe that a French bistro could ever compete with the local chippy on the corner of Matham Grove!

Is there a boys school on East Dulwich Grove?

    • 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.
