It's really sad that Roche has gone but went to heavenly hair and nails today and can highly recommend them. The lady in charge was very friendly did a great job with my hair and was fab with the kids. It's a bit further along from barsolona towards the tile place opposite what was the grove pub. ?25 for ladies wash cut and blowdry and ?10 each for the children. Worth governing them a try as I was really impressed.

Is that definite or supposition?Be sad if it goes - try to support them rather than Sainsburys when I'm up there. They have a wide range of goods in there and have always been really friendly.

The shop is moving to where the other Convenience shop was, in the corner of Landells next to the Funeral Home.

Quite a bit smaller space for them but I am glad they are sticking around they are nice people.

Not sure what's happening with the post office though.

In the days when the PO grocer was called Mike O Deal, the PO was across the road in the shop which I think is now the butchers. When 'Mike' sold the PO shop, he moved it across the road where it is now.


I suppose the reason for moving the grocer part to the former Dulwich Grocers premises is that sales are down thanks to Sainsburys Local and can only stay viable in smaller premises. Hopefully the fruit and veg stall is moving across with him too?

I heard that the Post Office owns the property where Gastronomia was and the corner shop (now being done up) next to Le Moulin and the grocer's next to Sainsbury's which has a small branch in it. Perhaps it is cashing in on its assets.
Hubby asked at the above Post Office yesterday if they were closing and was informed that as long as they have sufficient customers for the PO they will remain open. So it is a question of using your local sub post office or lose it.

My guess is with the grocer leaving, the rest of the premises will be sub-let to another business with the PO continuing at the back of the store.


If anyone remembers the old sub PO on LL opposite the Grove, it shared with a chemist I think and when that closed, it didn't last much longer, despite a cab firm moving in.

Yes, I remember the furniture being straight out of the 1970s. Incidentally if you visit Sadlers Pharmacy opposite the library, this also has a similar issue with 80s style shelving and doesn't look like it's had any work done to it since then.

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
