Their neighbouring unit, Rabbit On, has been empty for years. Unless someone can take on both units and make the space more useable, but unlikely.

The colour shop is fab, it sells wonderful paint, there's often interesting art to look at and there is a spinning wheel of wonder onto which you can drip paint and create your own psychedelic masterpiece.


I think the right shop could do well along there. Something a bit specialized that people will walk up from the lane to.

Crikey, it seems like they've only just opened!


If you're going to sell extremely expensive stuff in a tough economic climate, you've got to be pretty sure there's a market for what you're selling. And their expenses must have been hugely higher than they were in Bellenden Road.

Interestingly the "shop" called "Rabbit On" appears never to have been a shop. I've watched people go in and out of the premises over the years and it seems fairly clear that it's simply a front for a building providing residential accommodation - a planning scam. Strange that Southwark haven't been able to work that one out!

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
