It is - they're building a listening station underneath.


It's to spy on Trump.

From the Dulwich Society website (http://dulwichsociety.com)


The Crown & Greyhound

There is still no confirmation of an opening date. There have been further delays on the handover of the base building and we now expect the pub to re-open sometime in June. The continuing delays reflect very badly on the Dulwich Estate.

It's going to be a typical chain middle of the road job serving up average food at expensive prices, which will trump anything drinker/pub related. So we end up with a crap restaurant and a small below average boozer on one side, probably smaller in area and drinks available.

It's nice in summer to go for a walk to somewhere you wouldn't usually go very often. The Dog falls into this category from my side of East Dulwich, with a nice garden out the front to enjoy a drink on a long walk. That option has been removed and very much missed the last few summers. Half Moon can fill that gap now.

Dulwich Estate is shocking. Allowed Shepherds to close without a successor, pubs all closed for years at a time...

Does that mean you won't go?

I'll still stop by for a drink on a long walk, why not? Presumably they'll keep the beer garden out the front.

from this morning..


Good morning Kevin


We are hoping to handover the pub to our tenants on the 18 April to enable them to start their fit out. I anticipate that the pub will then be open in June.


The delay at the current time is a live electricity cable in the basement that needs disconnecting by UKPN and they have given us a date of the 11 April for this to take place.


Regards


Adrian

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      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.
