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.

    • This one is possible until 2.30am it says https://princeofpeckham.co.uk/private-hire/    
    • Set of keys found in Peckham Rye park this morning. Handed to the cafe by the playground.
    • You could try asking  ChatGPT? Give it the information you have posted here, and ask for suggestions in your preferred geographical areas (eg South and Central London, or whatever). It recently saved me hours when I was looking to see if there was a cheaper  energy tariff for my usage, and it  gave me other very useful relevant  information. I've also used it for several other things, and it has been eye openingly helpful. ETA: I know there are various issues around AI, so please if forum members are reading this and want to discuss them (I don't), don't do it on this thread!  
    • Yes it would be easier, and I give a lot to the hospice shops, but for various reasons there are certain things I prefer to give to Oxfam. However I might go through the books and see if some could be donated more locally. I think in any charity shop staffed by volunteers, the reception you get must depend on the member of staff. The Oxfam bookshop have always been very happy when I've taken shedloads of books there in the past. On the other hand, I've taken things to the hospice shop that were received very grumpily when they hadn't even looked in the bag or asked what they were. It felt like I was being a nuisance and causing them more work. I don't remember a previous thread on here  about the Oxfam shop and parking, but that's possibly because it wasn't relevant to me at the time.
