Hiya,

I also work mainly from home and it'd be nice to meet up locally to co-work.

If you fancied travelling a bit further (or are in town anyway), it's worth checking out this co-working group: http://www.meetup.com/kindredhqcoworking/ - they are a really friendly bunch and again it means you get out of the house...I've been going on&off for over a year and got so see some cool co-working spaces this way :)

Hi,

thanks to everyone who replied.

I liked the idea of meet-up workspaces, but I can't see myself travelling into town.


How about a local meeting in one of the cafes in the area. Trouble is, I don't know where to go.

Big tables, wifi, not too many kids ...

Suggestions?

We could try next week, maybe Tuesday morning. Shall we?

Sounds good - I'm up for this as I work from home too and hardly see anyone in the daytime. If you make it a different day (Weds - Sat) then I'm sure my partner will be happy to host at his cafe, Captured on the Rye on Pellatt Road, near The Mag pub. They aren't open on Tuesdays, though.

Shall we set something up next week, I was thinking Weds to avoid clashing with the Ivy House but Friday is an option too. The shop has Wi-Fi, table space, really good coffee and cake :)


I don't drive so the Ivy House is a bit far although I'd be keen to check it out some time.

Hi - sorry, I cannot make that Wed but am very interested in trying out both, captured on the rye and the Ivyhouse ( haven't been to either, it'll give me a good excuse to explore...). Unfortunately can never do Fridays (working only Mon-Thurs) - Does anyone know if Fri is the only option on the Ivyhouse?

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      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" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      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.
