Canavans is a hipster hangout? I didn't know that. Clearly I'm not very hip! :)

On my daily stroll along Peckham Rye toward the station i have been watching a shop transform with the workers uncovering old tiles and orginal features. Its a unit near The white Horse and Rye Hotel end. I stopped and asked my usual questions last week regarding pubs. Nope a hairdressers. Opened last night by the look of it. It sits between the more tradtional barbers and hairdressers along that strecth. Its called Blue Tit:

A pincher movement of hip along Rye Lane perhaps...


ETA: Spelling and pincer

"We are now working on our new salon down in South East of London .


"Infamous for it?s rough edge beautiful in its diversity, people, art galleries cool clubs and small coffee shops of Peckham Rye captivated us. We got hooked on , Started looking for a shop to rent to set another nest for Blue tit.


"The Salon is right across from the Rye (nice big pub with bad ass garden) its the perfect place for a sunday roast.


"The style of the salon will be revealed with the pictures of it by the end of decorating work. All very exciting!!"

There's an implication they'll serve a beer or a coffee with your haircut

Isn't worth me getting my no2 all over there though.


The description of Peckham Rye comes from 2014 however and I love it

"infamous for .. diversity, people, art galleries, cool clubs and small coffee shops of Peckham Rye"

Gentrification is here.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      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.
