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.

    • Hi all, we have noticed we have penetrating damp in our home. Has anyone worked with good contractors before that are able to help resolve the issue? Any advice would also be great!  Thanks, Emilie 
    • Marco T Marco T Posted Thursday at 17:56 Aria never fails me. I have used his services on several occasions now and I am always impressed by 1) the speed of his response,  2) his honest pricing,  3) the quality of his interventions.  I had a washing machine crisis the other day where my old appliance started leaking badly and into the flat below.  Aria can within an hour of my call and sorted the whole thing immediately.  Impressive! Highly recommended!    Posted Thursday at 17:56 a.

    • Capita (always spelt in Private Eye as Crapita) has a record of failure in its management of public contracts that goes back decades. Yet they continue to get more government business and have our money lavished on them. Private profit trumps public service every time.
