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.

    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
    • Hello, I lost a babies blanket between Tessa Jowell and the Picture House on Lordship Lane 😞It is teal colour with the name Cillian embroidered on it.  If anyone sees/finds it please let me know.  Thank you!
