I call it east dulwich on sea ;)


Avoid kings Lynn that's too far over.


You want M11, A11 then A1065 at Barton mills all the way up thru Swaffham then turn right onto A148 towards Sheringham.


Highly recommend the Brays Cottage pork pies made locally. Back to the Garden is fab for food and drinks. Have fun.


pS the drive is really slow but it's the best way by far.


Edit: sorry I know you didn't ask for food recs, couldn't help myself!

edit: never type from a phone again.

Yes Steveo far far quicker way (assuming you're in/near ED itself, but longer in distance) Nunhead Lane all the way to OKR left/right along by Millwall F.C. going towards Surrey Quays then Rotherhithe Tunnel then left/right and through Limehouse Link Tunnel onto A13 onto North Circular Road straight onto M11. Normally only bit of queueing traffic (at lights) between tunnels.

Agree, but there were temporary lights on the Millwall bit earlier this week. But you can go up OKR to Mc D's and turn right there. Proceed as above


Never the BWT

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
