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

Remind me of Luca - mind is a blank.

Near to the Plough, the former corner shop looks like it will become again a corner shop - there was some movement there recently.

The butcher's shop opposite the Plough could do with someone taking it over - it has been tagged quite boldly already.

From What I can gather the Duck egg owner said it was being taken over by some Italian guys, I don't think it's the old Luca's, A friend of mine (and old boss) is friends with the old Luca's owner that was on Lordship lane, I met him a year ago and he definitely had no desire to re open then & wanted out as it was not profitable enough (he is also German, not Italian)

He could have changed his mind though.

I don't think this has been mentioned elsewhere. There is a new-ish restaurant on Goldsmiths Road by the same people from the Old Spike Roastery called Aside. It's firmly in the trendy camp - sharing plates, 2 word menu descriptions and bare, noisy room, but the food is good, the staff are lovely and they do a cracking cocktail.

I walked past the other day while some of the construction crew (or maybe owners?) were setting up, and another passer-by commented about them being the same as the LL Luca's... but I'm pretty sure the guy affiliated with the cafe replied that they are different.

Yes, two Italian guys are opening this one (so I was told), the owner of the old Lucas was quite glad to see the back of it when I met him last year and definitely didn't seem keen to repeat the process.

The old mobile phone shop, near to La Scala/ED station, is having a lick of paint. The man doing the decorating said he did not know what the owner wanted to do with it but said it could be an office or a florist.

Also, the butcher's shop near The Plough had workemen in but they did not know what it would be.
