Lila's opening in 117 LL (formerly Callows)

I've bought things from all 3 existing jewellers in the area, they are all lovely shops offering quite different things. I particularly like Zara Taylor, for really affordable things, I've bought some really unique Xmas presents in there recently.


Good luck to the new shop, I think it's great seeing new businesses open up, makes a nice change from seeing them shut down!

Ha Ha and Hear Hear... if an independent store opened selling hand-made sunshine for 50% less than Iceland, am sure there'd be a cheeky complaint about increased traffic, how this new store is going to drive other stores out of business, how they'd really fancy a new store selling widgets instead... etc.


Ron70 is right, we should all cheer up in time for Xmas!

I suppose it's better than saying 'divorced, bankrupt or dead', which I guess is how most jewellery, especially rings, gets to be second hand

    • Gosh, that all sounds so familiar!  Southwark are constantly holding up their Outdoor Events Policy as proof of process, but then constantly allow exceptions when things aren't quite done correctly. Point in case, Gala's licence application - extract from the Consultation Findings Report - "The GALA team formally submitted their application to hold GALA 2025 to the council on the 7 October 2024. It is usually a requirement that applications for larger scale events are submitted with a minimum of 9 months to process them, but discretion can be applied if there are mitigating circumstances. 8.4 of the Outdoor Events Policy clarifies that processing applications received outside the stated lead-in times is at the Council's discretion. In this case: • The council were aware that Assembled Gala were preparing an application for the event to take place in 2025 in advance of their submission date, with operational discussions already taking place • GALA festival has been taking place in Peckham Rye Park since 2018 – less time is needed regarding event planning than if it were a new event • The GALA team already have a Premises Licence in place for this event (this is a pre- requisite for the Event Licence to be issued), so no time needed to be factored in for a premises licence application and decision-making process" So despite the fact that there would need to be major planning decisions due to the change of site access, they didn't think Gala needed to adhere to the same rules as everyone else? Makes me wonder what other rules they are exempted from... On a similar note, has anyone received a Resident Communication letter, containing the contact details for issues? We haven't, and we live directly opposite the site on Colyton Rd. They were supposedly distributed on 29/4...
