Just picked up from this link that Londis on the corner of Northcross Road and Lordship Lane has put its lease on the market http://www.rapleys.co.uk/property/london-se22-8hu/retail-premises/354/ I find this slightly surprising in view of the fact that the store always seems busy. I suppose there is a lot more local competetion now in the convenience market. This is quite a lot bigger than most other stores on Lordship Lane, which probably rules out another trendy boutique, but not really big enough for a Tesco Express, or Sainsbury's Local type of operation. I will be watching with interest

It appears from the the details I have seen that Londis is seeking to sell its lease held for a term of 15 years from 22 October 2004, subject to five yearly rent reviews at a passing rent of ?72,000 pax, fixed at review with effect from 22 October 2009, for an asking premium of ?100K. This would therefore involve Londis handing over the property with vacant possession to an "assignee", rather than granting a new sub-lease and maintaining its interest in the property

Can you remind me when this was?

Yes, when exactly was this fried chicken festooned race course?

Lordship Lane in the early 90s (I moved 1992) was dire indeed and a very depressing place, especially after Sainsburys opened and the greengrocer and butchers (Le Chardon now) closed and Northcross Road was wall to wall hairdressers. I remember when the Blue Mountain cafe opened (1993??) and after that the domino effect began

Exactly, I don't ever remember a Lane full of fried chicken shops. The most it ever had was 2, Favourite, which is still there (and long may it stay), and the speedo pizza place was once a chicken shop. That's it. There were one or two betting shops I'll grant you, and there are probably more hair places now than ever before.


Are you sure you're thinking of the same Lordship Lane?



Shame, because this made me laugh.

I moved to ED in 1991. I didn't find Lordship Lane "dire and depressing" at all!


When was Northcross Road "wall to wall hairdressers"?


If memory serves, there was a butcher, a cobbler, a newsagent, a Greek deli, a greengrocer (still there), amongst other things.


To the best of my recollection there was a barber (still there) and one hairdresser. What were the other hairdressers?


I agree the opening of the Blue Mountain was the start of the gentrification of ED :(

Nothing to do with eating chicken or class, more a desire for an accurate description of what East Dulwich was like before, well, let's call it gentrification.

My wife remembers when the Palmerston was a den of iniquity (25 years ago) She and her friends used to come over (age 15 or so) get pissed and score various types of illegal drugs. LL has had a bad rep in the past, stories from her father (76) are hilarious.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
