From BBC Travel news 06.55:

A2216 Lordship Lane East Dulwich, both ways between B219 Barry Road and Landells Road

A2216 London - A2216 Lordship Lane in East Dulwich closed in both directions between the B219 Barry Road junction and the Landells Road junction, because of a serious accident. Diversion in operation - for buses 40, 176 and 185.

When I left our house opposite Sainsbury's on Lordship this morning at 0600, there was a Met Blue Tent outside the roofers, a damaged motorcycle and signs of a major injury. By the time the family were up the traffic was flowing again and all was back to normal. Speed cameras are needed near the junction of Lordship and Barry Road, stating the obvious. It's like a racetrack.

Agreed! We live opposite the Sainsbury's too and it's extremely dangerous, people seem to fly down there!

    • 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
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
