new shops on lordship lane

[nice1two]

Any one have any problems with the site oppostie Bombay bikes, or know anything new? Seems to be more people around then there used to be? Or maybe i wasn't as observant

[Michael Palaeologus]

Pound shop and a Charity Shop probably

[HonaloochieB]

I think it's already been confirmed it's going to be a Wimpy bar.

[nice1two]

really, where did you here that? am looking to move in locally and just wanted to know do you know what they are doing behind it?

[Moos]

HB is teasing you. Sorry, I don't have any information however!

[HonaloochieB]

Not teasing at all Moos. Just trying to make it happen by the power of positive thought.

I've been visualising too. Visualising like a good un.

Sorry for any misunderstanding nice1two, and welcome.

[Ant]

The short answer is that no one knows, nice1two. There have been plenty of threads on the subject but nothing definite ever comes up, just rumour and/or humour.

[EDOldie]

Might be another Foxtons

[Only me!]

Not really big enough.

Only 12 Mini sized parking spaces, for a start.

[Marmora Man]

I'd heard Foxtons were downsizing - moving out of current premises and into a single Mini.

[djfitz]

I heard it's going to be a Dole Office and Counseling Centre for homeless Estate Agents.

[local estate agent]

let me know if this happens......

[LordLane]

hi, work for the developer if i can help pm me?

[Nero]

I contacted Tesco some time ago and it told me there was going to be no store there. One local shop owner says there will be space for four or five units there. On paper, that part of the lane could be great. The pavements are wide, the housing stock directly opposite is large and Victorian, and it's near to an improved pub and the library, which is a handsome building, even if you don't use it.

Right now, it's a bit low-rent. A few trees, shops (for all those people who live up the hill from the Magdala) and maybe a cafe could do it? It's very near to the high-end Woodwarde/Eynella/Townley Rd types, who might like the idea of being able to shop nearer to home.

Here's hoping.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Nero for mayor!

That's exactly how I would like to see it. Maybe a small bar as competition for Plough as well

[djfitz]

Maybe another branch of the Adventure franchise!

[SeanMacGabhann]

tis many things fitz, but it ain't a franchise

but you probably know that and were just being cheeky

[Jah Lush]

Another bar up there would be great, maybe a men's clothes shop too.

[Brendan]

An Inside 72 and the Drum sort of mixed togetherish sort of placeish that serves pizza.

[djfitz]

That's correct Brendan.

Apparently, upstairs will feature a Contemporary Latin Brothel.

It will have reduced rates for folk what live in East Dulwich.

On a Thursday there will be free entry for ladies. So to speak.

[Jah Lush]

Excellent! Just what we need up our end. Ahem! Maybe I should rephrase that.

[djfitz]

No need. We all know what you mean(t).

[AdaDoom]

Are they working on it again then?

Ave Maria! About bloody tempus an' all.

Let's hope that locals are given priority, and it doesn't start to attract 'blow-ins'.

Last thing we need is for the ruddy Gauls to start laying siege to the place.

Blimus.

You'll have to pay extra for a 'Blow In', no matter whence you hail. Caesar.
