Talk was of a new library and flats to go on the site of the Garden centre, I assume that's still going ahead. If they ever manage to get a coffee shop to lease the vacant space below the new flats opposite the station, that might give the ED Grove stretch a boost. It's been To Let for over a year now so don't hold your breath.

Yep , there are no kebab shops down there, but there is a betting shop.


A couple of newsagents,

A cute little library,

A bakery, etc...


A coffee shop would be great.

I think they could do so well with the early morning commuters... And me when I need to get out the house! >:D<

There's nothing wrong with a little grott. From the slightly creepy school uniform shop, the bike-type shop that wants to hide itself away, the assembled beer guts at the tyre place and of course, the legendary owner of the hardware shop with the wavey hair.


There's obviously a market for them.

Not.... St@r*****!!!!



I was hoping you might credit me with some more sense SMG. I friggin-well hate the place (Mr VBC and I have actually had MAJOR rows abt his SBs addiction)


No, something independent and quirky for me please.

* does a quick search for that sketch in The Simpsons where someone goes to Starbucks only for the shutter to slam down - the camera pulls back and you see shutters coming down in every Starbucks in the world. the a little LED appears on each shutter saying "Temporary shutdown - Commencing Phase 2" *


* can't find it and figures the description will have to suffice *

There is a lovely little music shop on Grove Vale - very near the Bluebird Bakery. My partner is a musician and finds the owner really helpful and he will order in stuff for you as well. The library is very friendly and they have good kids activities as well. I kinda like this stretch of shops really - it's actually quite a diverse little mix of shops and you can get most of what you might need - newspapers, coffee, sheet music and instruments (and other musical bits and bobs), running shoes, antique furniture, a fry up, gardening gear, bread and yummy cakes.
all Grove Vale needs is a little attention, the shops are good and Shauns DIY has saved me so many times. The garden cnetre is very useful (shame it is going) and the new bakery is great. Dry cleaners and Shoe shop is great...also wich i have space for some of the furniture. However maxim chicken is rank

That's the triathlon shop. One of my favourite haunts. They'll video you on a treadmill to ensure you buy the correct running shoes as part of the service... quality establishment.

Okay, I've missed something! Can someone direct me to the thread about the garden centre? I don't want to see it go, it's great!

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
