, the Fired Earth storefront is under offer too, apparently

Fired Earth as a whole went into administration unfortunately - doesn't seem to have been a Dulwich problem specifically.

Does anyone know how much the rent is for these Dulwich Village storefronts?

Dulwich Village update: The old DVillage location is (again?) under offer.

The storefront next to the new grocer is going to open as a yoga and pilates studio...the name of which I've forgotten. 🤦‍♂️ 

Megan's is starting to push its takeaway coffee and cannibalise some of Redemption Coffee's market share. Is Megan's struggling? It's quite a big restaurant they have and rent cant be cheap. The reinventing of the Megan's branch on Lordship Lane as Ollie's seems to have stalled.

And Redemption is looking a bit tired these days...

What is Ollie’s?

Ollie's is another restaurant concept from the same people that do the Megan's chain. It was pretty mercilessly mocked on a thread somewhere on here. The Megan's branch on Lordship Lane closed not that long after it opened for a rebirth as an Ollie's, but it didnt seem to have happened last time I noticed.

The Crown & Greyhound is closed until Thu 19 March for renovations (and staff training, hopefully...).

The Romeo Jones booze and entertainment licence application closes for comments sometime this week. Simba Dulwich Ltd is the applicant.

I swerved Megan’s.  I miss Romeo Jones and the charming friendly owner.

  • 2 weeks later...

Scorpio Dry Cleaners (in the parade of shops at the top of Herne Hill) has closed. The shopfront is being renovated and will be reopened as therapy rooms by Herne Hill Space. 

I take this as evidence that we're all more stressed than before, despite being more casually dressed...

    • Whilst I completely agree with the first part of your post, I think it's a terrible waste of council workers' time (and our council tax money) to be coming out to clear up individual instances of dog crap. I don't know what the answer is. I don't know why there don't seem to be dog crap bins any more, but even if there were I doubt if these dog owners would use them if they aren't picking up the crap in the first place. I can't remember why dog licences were scrapped? If memory serves they used to be seven and six in old money. Maybe it wasn't cost effective to run the system, but maybe it would be if they cost a lot more. I think dog training should be mandatory as well. I think a lot of people acquired dogs during Covid who maybe hadn't had one before, as the number of dogs around ED seemed to greatly increase around then. On the other hand, I do think most dog owners train their dogs and pick up after them. Unfortunately it's those who don't who we notice.
    • Why did you feel the need to post that? Have you actually read the rest of the thread?
    • He lived in my road, so I bumped into him quite often, but I knew him as Mick, not Mike. We originally met at the opening of The Actress. Crikey, how long ago that seems now. He had a fox in his window 🤣 Not a real one, obviously. I only found out that he had died because I hadn't seen him around for a while,  so I mentioned it  on our road WhatsApp group, and someone on there told me. He had been ill for some time, but he was just in the middle of what must have been extremely expensive private  dental treatment (a lot of implants) so I assume his death was sadly unexpected.
