The best one nearby is probably The Secret Garden in Crystal Palace. There's a small one on Landsdowne Hill, West Norwood, too. Otherwise it's B&Q on Old Kent Road, though I order online instead from Crocus or Beth Chatto - which can work out a fair amount more expensive, but they have a much better range of plants.

Crocus are excellent - very wide choice, the plants arrive very well packaged and in good condition, and the customer service is excellent too.


They are not cheap, but they are worth the money in my opinion. They've got a sale on at the moment:

I didn't know Beth Chatto did online sales, but I've been to her garden/nursery and the plants on sale there were very good too.

Amazing - so many people on EDF bemoaning the loss of greengrocers, garden centres, yet at the same time happy to buy online!

When it comes to plants you can't expect most garden centres to stock everything as that requires a vast amount of space that only the out-of-town, online suppliers can hope to accommodate. I used to buy what I could from Dulwich Garden Centre and then get the more specialist stuff online, though I now have a longer list of alternatives thanks to the recommendations on this thread. Good to have local shops as well as online stores, of course - and it's perfectly reasonable to use both without being a hypocrite.

    • Because the previous Libdem/Tory coalition council did so much better? ....Oh wait. Selling off the Heygate at a bargain price and reducing the number of council homes it replaced? Being in opposition is so much easier isn't it James.  The point on allowances etc is a valid one, and that is about finding the right balance between the responsibility of those cabinet roles and the role of service that should underpin all political aspirations in an ideal world. Holding down a full time job, while having to attend meetings and then deal with case work on top, is a huge ask imo. People in key roles need to have the time needed to do those roles effectively, so some renumeration makes sense. It's just a question of where the balance should be. McAsh has walked away from that, so his convictions are doing more talking than careerism arguably.  Worth pointing out that most MPs started out as party/ political activists/ campaigners on a local level. Different parties have different processes for selecting candidates, but everyone starts out at a low level. 
    • I think the Galleon on Dunstans Road beats that. been work in process for 5+ years. 
    • Cleaning in East Dulwich and the surrounding areas for well over a decade, we've worked hard to always provide great cleaning and reliable cleaners. We pride ourselves on delivering a high-quality cleaning service and making sure the cleaners turn up when you need and want them to. Our growth has mainly been by recommendations on the Forum, local Facebook pages and clients recommending us to their neighbours on street WhatsApp groups. We know it can be hard to trust someone to come into your home, many times when you're not there, so we only use cleaners that we know and have been checked, trained and are happy to be supervised by us. Accidents can happen so we're fully insured to cover any and all situations that may arise. On top of cleaning we can do additional tasks such as managing washing, ironing, bed changes and oven cleans. Plus working with local partners we can arrange window cleaning and carpet cleans for you. So if you want to come home to a clean and tidy place, with the floors cleaned, surfaces dusted, cobwebs removed, dishes washed, cushions plumped, clothes folded, beds made, and the bathroom gleaming, get in touch today!

    • Hardly! The awning is half hanging off and it looks like it's about to collapse between the two upstairs windows. Looks awful and it's not clear there is construction "going on" there now.
