Foxtons Branch in East Dulwich will be M&S... (Lounged)


Recommended Posts

I I find it a bit odd that there's so much sensitivity on this site about possible defamation and/or prejudicing someone's criminal trial by publishing comment, yet someone posts a plainly defamatory rumour about Foxtons being in administration (which is obviously untrue, or we would have seen something about it in the press by now) without there being any concerns raised. It appears that Engles doesn't understand what administration is, but I'm not sure that would be any defence. I know many people don't like Foxtons much (me included) but I don't think that's a good reason for publishing false information about them!

Oh and Engles ended with the following:


"As for being lounged - what fun... that's not happened to me before. Watch out for the news everyone - cheers - Engles"


Well, seeing as that was his or her first ever posting (at least under that name) it wouldn't have happened before would it?


A comment about as reliable as the posting.

Foxtons is owned by BC Partners anyway. There is no Foxtons 'company' as we used to know it.


It was a Leveraged Buy-Out (LBO) back when the markets were on steroids, so perhaps they are in trouble. The original post was clearly rubbish. 'Mr Foxtons' didn't do too badly from that, so I very much doubt he's too worried, although his Holland Park mansion my have lost as few pennies in the past few months.

Foxtons...What p***ed me off with them, is why the hell do they have to keep that huge tv screen on day and night, what a bloody waist of money and energy,not to mention the enviroment.


Some folks have been a bit nasty about Foxtons,you should'nt gloat if there in financial dificulties,which I dont believe they are there a huge chain surely they can ride the storm.


Dont think we will get a M&S or a Waitrose. You never know you might get an Argos!

    • "Mysterious owners" 😆  If only there was a powerful search engine at our fingertips to find out such deep secrets.        
    • It's the "due to commercial reasons" line again that is vexing. Last year it seemed, although there was a similar level of objection, that the reasons were commercial - Gala didn't appear entirely prepared to run 3 more events, or more likely didn't have sufficient interest from other promoters / organisers who could 'sub-let' the site as with Brockwell Park (I believe?). This year they appeared more organised, had another year to plan & prepare, to the extent they actually had names for two of the three new events which indicated to me that they had third party promoters / organisers in place.  So yes, it does make you wonder whether the repeated level of objection, combined with the impending elections, led to the council 'advising' that maybe they shelve it again? I'm afraid I can't see the whole extension application just being a ruse to guarantee permission for the 'regular' event. Gala are a commercial venture with ambition - every festival's business plan is to expand, expand, expand, year on year on year. Gala won't give up until they have taken over the whole park for a Summer of Raves, and the mysterious owners are on their yachts counting their ££££
    • Thanks for that. Maybe forthcoming elections have stymied the 7 day request? If Labour get back in, do we think GALA will try with greater success in 2027?
    • Better late than never, same obscure reason as previously for not going ahead with the extended plan... "Due to commercial reasons, the event organisers have withdrawn their application to hold a 7- day event over two weekends. The application has been revised to request the use of Peckham Rye Park to hold a 4-day event over one bank holiday weekend with the following schedule: • Onsite: Monday 11 May 2026 • GALA: Friday 22 – Sunday 24 May • On the Rye Festival: BH Monday 25 May • Off-site Sunday 31 May 2026 This is the same event programme that was delivered in 2025."  GALA 2026 consultation findings report 1519.pdf
