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

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.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sue · Posted

      As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)

      Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.

      Is that a fact or an opinion?

      I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
