Just picked up on the LTN discussion that this hairdressers in Dulwich Village has closed. While some have blamed the LTN, there is another post that says there is a notice in the window from Dulwich Estates stating the lease has been forfeited "as a result of illegal assignment/subletting". 

 

Does anyone know any more?

  • Jenijenjen changed the title to HG Harold George

Dear all, understandably there are many rumours flying around about the salon. As the owner of HG Dulwich Village, I can confirm that the salon is open. Both we and The Dulwich Estate have been working together over the past few months to ensure a smooth transition, however unforeseen delays occurred which were the reason for temporarily closing. Our relationship with The Dulwich Estate remains strong and we are excited about the future of HG Dulwich Village and are committed to continuing to serve our valued clients. Wishing you all the best, Maria

Good to clarify and hopefully all publicity is good publicity.  Perhaps those quick to speculate, particularly that this was an issue about the LTN, may wish to acknowledge they were wrong.  And not jump to conclusions.  I'll be criticised for being patronising but it needs to be said.

I think you will find I was not wrong about the LTN being an issue for Harold George.  If you think the LTN's are not an issue for the shops in DV ask in the Post Office, the Chemist, the Art shop, the Bookshop and the Dry Cleaners as well.

Whilst the LTN may well be an issue for Harold George and other businesses, this is not the same as the salon closing down because they were a "casualty" of the LTN which is what you have you have stated elsewhere.

The current owner only took over a few months ago which suggests the business is viable despite the LTN.

    • 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.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
