The place was a dry cleaners previously and the same family ran it - so the shop has probably been run by the same family for two generations, albeit in various incarnations.


For what its worth I concur with Curmudgeoun.........

I know there has been a lot of discussion about this, but everytime I have gone in there he has gone out of his way to be helpful and is always friendly, regardless if I have gone to look at fabric or buttons (I should stress that I haven't bought masses there, sometimes can be 6 months between visits).

Each time I've been in the shop the owner has been extremely rude - he has a very sarcastic manner (and that was when I was actually trying to BUY something!!) So much so (or do I mean 'sew much sew'??) that I've stopped going in there which is a pity because in my line of work I could have given him a lot of business. I mentioned this to him the last time I ever went in there and suddenly his attitude changed a bit - too late! If anyone knows other stockists who sell the same sort of bold printed furnishing fabrics as him, let me know.

If you just want basic fabrics or haberdashery at much much cheaper prices, go to the little fabric shop on the east side of Peckham Rye station on Blenheim Grove SE15. It has totally different stock to the LL shop (no designer fabrics or funky prints unless by default) but is absolutley stuffed with fabrics, sequinned braids, cheap zips, buttons etc. The owners are friendly but laid back - don't go if you are in a rush, but it's a real experience and worth a visit.

    • Just what London, needs another Tesco Express! 
    • What's probably happened here is an assignment of Poundland's lease. This means that Tesco would purchase the remaining terms of Poundland's lease from Poundland. It could be contingent on the council approving the plans for the signage change and ATM. The landlord would be happy because then a stronger tenant moves into their space. Poundland gets a bit of cash in the form of a premium. Tesco gets a fully baked lease to take over.  Companies don't submit these plans unless it was going to happen. It takes time and money to draw up these plans, and if you review them you'll see the drawings of the frontage are clearly 29-35 Lordship Lane. Meaning someone had surveyed the space and drawn up plans based on the specific property. 
    • I have no agenda just a simple response expressing my thoughts and experience.  
    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
