But the butchers must be smaller, surely?

[jamesbond2007]

just saw a vape shop in the old Nina Christie shop - is it a pop up? looks like it

[Sazzle30]

I can recommend pizza pick up, just down from Peddler near Nigel Road. Good simple tasty pizzas reasonably priced.

I know we have about 9 pizza places across ED, Peckham and Nunhead but give them ago - lighter than the sourdough offerings.

The owner is really nice too

I've found that whenever I go in there they can't do enough to be helpful. I asked for extra garlic on my pizza, and boy did they deliver. Such a shame they never seem to be that busy - although it comes in useful when everywhere else is queuing out of the door.

[Wimpole]

Too many pizza places opened in a very short space of time a year or so back. I can't see them all managing to make it. As for Pizza Pickup, I've been waiting to pick some up for ages. But they never answer the phone so I gave up. Will try again soon....

Voodoo Ray's just opened in Peckham Rye. More pizza.

[tomszekeres]

Plough DIY is staying put, it's Plough Plaster Arts that is expanding to take over both units (including the old Butchers). Obviously they're doing the fit-out themselves?

[tomszekeres]

Also, Toasted is going to be closing on Sunday for a refurb ? same people, but will reopen as Terroirs (the other branch is just off the Strand). The big wine tanks are going, but they'll still be doing bottle refills from the 10 odd wine taps they'll have at the bar.

[Nigello]

EDPH has put up branding in the front windows and door of the old Irish shop. Will it be a proper extension or a separate shop? I am assuming the former.

[Abe_froeman]

Toast has only just reopened after its last refurb!

[mancity68]

New cocktail bar just opened in premise where Lerryns was on Rye Lane. Called two hundred I think.

[derwentgrove]

Apologies if this has been covered already/elsewhere, but the developer of the new build next to the station is now explicit that M & S are taking the retail unit:

Obviously Waitrose would have been preferable but, if confirmed, this would be something of a step up on the original Morrison's proposal.

Funniest thing I've read today.

Thanks.

Why do M&S need another shop so close to the existing one??

EDPH? Picture House?

Unclear. But I guess it suggests the current food hall has exceeded expectations in terms of anticipated sales.

Perhaps Waitrose can take the Grove Vale library site when they move into the new unit.

I declared this months ago ..from the horses mouth (M&S employee in LL

branch)

seemed inevitable

[sally buying]

Whilst these posts seem to be wetting themselves about a new grocery store, what happens to the tyre shop?

A real community asset.

[rendelharris]

Need it be affected? Other side of the road...perfect for anyone needing to pick up prosecco, prawn vol-au-vents and Pirellis in the one trip!

[spider69]

Double yellow lines as far as I can recall.

[dbboy]

Why would Waitrose be preferable?

And does East Dulwich really need another M&S that will be similar in size to the current store, unless they're planning on catching more of the business from being next to the station?

Went tonight - it is called '200 Rye Lane' and for those of you less au fait with Peckham's history (myself included)its just up from Peddler and Pizza pickup, and pretty much opposite the Nag's head.

The guy said they were having a 'soft launch' and adding an extra day each week, today was their first Sunday. The cocktails were lovely, the bar staff really nice. Didn't eat but the bar snack descriptions sounded good. Its definitely light snacks with your cocktails rather than somewhere for a full on dinner at the moment, though they are apparently doing some work to expand the kitchen.

Would definitely go back - hopefully when more people have discovered it, it will be a bit warmer, as was a bit chilly, but that was my only criticism.

[Northeastview]

There is also a fair size M&S food in Kings- how many do we need?

[ED Light]

The old Audi garage in Dulwich surely must be being primed for Waitrose?

Wouldn't it be funny if Lidl went for it....

[Mick Mac]

I heard its changing from Audi to Aldi, so they can save money on minimal signage changes.
