I cn do either 19th or 26th.


I dont think 17 August requires people to get slaughtered - there are so many pubs on the route that we would need ambulances along the route. However, it us also the date the Huguenot is over from Singapore, so is a bit of a given I think.

Ok. I think a 1:30 start was probably a bit premature. I think we should aim to leave the George Canning at around 3pm. Those of us who want to have some food first can meet there earlier. I have drawn up a timetable below. This is just a guide though and shouldn?t be taken as prescriptive. Everyone carries walkie-talkies these days so we can use those to let people know where we are.


Any comments, suggestions, objections or insults about the route below?


1. George Canning. Arrive when you like but we will aim to leave at about 3pm


2. Hoopers. 3:15pm ? 4pm


3. Gowlette. 4:15pm ? 5pm


4. East Dulwich Tavern. 5:15pm - 6pm


5. Drum or The Uplands 6:15pm ? 7pm (We will have to play this by ear as the Drum is a wee bit small if there are too many of us so if we cannot be accommodated there to the uplands with us)


6. Clockhouse 7:15pm ? 8pm


7. Crystal Palace Tavern 8:15pm ? 9pm


8. Plough 9pm

    • 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.
