There was some previous discussion on and interest in this out-of-print book (by John Beasley) here in the past (I can't make search work, so can't cross-link to the appropriate thread/s)!


John tells me that the book (a slightly new edition) is now available again from Chener Books (14 Lordship Lane) at the bargain price of ?3.50 (it was more expensive when it was previously available)!


In celebration of their 30th anniversary, the shop arranged to have the book reprinted. It should be available until the end of the year.

This here SE22 magazine, what's that about? etc etc


Moving on from that it's the first I've heard of such a magazine. Where does one get that from?

I think you have to live in SE22! I live in SE15 and get one called - wait for it - SE15. It's a bit rubbish (full of ads and mostly useless articles) but it to has similar excerpts about the origin of street names in SE15 - also by John!

I don't know about anyone else but I'll be barging all and sundry (especially the bloody sundry) out of my way tomorrow to get to Chener Books for this. I'll hurl the money at the book wizard of Cheners and probably leave a tip, what's more.

Can't blooming wait. Well done Cheners, well done John Beasley.

In the words of young Mr Grace, "You've all done very well"

    • I reccomend Crab Salad-I used to have my hair cut by the owner when he was at Blue tit in Peckham...I moved with him to Cs when he opened it. I've had other stylists there when he was'nt available on the date I could make and they're all excellent. Its a nice vibe too-just very relaxed not too 'hairdressery' (If you know what I mean) and I've reccomended it to neighbours and colleages who've all been very happy. Its not the cheapest but nor is it super pricey and they use good products too.
    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
