Due to this topic being excessively long, a new 2024 "New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham" has been opened here. Please continue the discussion there.

It's a shame that they had to move from their current location opposite the park. It'll be much more difficult to take the cat there without parking.

The guy who owned the pet shop in North Cross Road told me it had been a struggle for a while, he was unable to compete with the supermarkets and online so I guess running a pet shop is just not viable these days. Shame, there are very few pet shops about now.

Anyone know when Turtle Bay will be opening their new branch in Peckham? A planning application went through but no news yet.


Also, the mini Sainsbury's in Dulwich Village will NOT be going ahead. Dulwich Society says the estate is actively looking for a permananent supermarket option, but an extension will be added at the back to give more shop floor space. In the meantime a pop up boutique, independent, will be taking on the space.


Louisa.

Vets definitely closing on the Rye, Spoke to one of the founders and they have to move as the building is being demolished... we have already started using the Crofton park one, easy to park by, and better for us travel wise from where we live then going to Lordship lane.

I think it will be a great addition to the lane though, especially if it stills sells pet food and products like the PR one.

On Vestry Road in Camberwell, a new middle eastern cafe has opened up that does excellent and good value food like meze and baklava - i have not been yet but my other half is raving about it. Its slightly off usual beaten track for footfall but is well worth a visit.
Sticking with the recent Camberwell focus, there is a new caf?/bar/roastery due to open at the end of March. Called Spike and Earl it is another venture by Peckham's Old Spike Roastery. It will be in the old Southwark Town Hall building which has recently been redeveloped into student accommodation.
I had really good pizza at Pizza Pickup on Rye Lane - thinner and crispier than the Naples/sourdough style at a lot of other local places. They seem to be very quiet, which is a shame, and a bit of a surprise given the number of decent food places in the immediate area.

It opened this week (card only and limited menu) and signs said a larger breakfast/lunch/dinner menu coming soon. I had a pastry and coffee this morning and it was really good. It only has bar stools/counters so probably wont be taking custom from Andersons & co but a great takeaway option.

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays! 
    • Was that the one where you put a coin in and it squirted water at you? what was the name of the one in hanway street - whatever you ordered it came on a segmented tray like you get in prison (I imagine). Prices were a steal.
