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

Following on from small St Christophers shop, i think the pricepoint at the big St Christophers is too high now. Visited this week but sadly left with nothing, I usually leave with some little thing or other. Small glass dish - I thought should be ?1 pound for a tea light was ?3.50!

I agree their prices have rocketed, but to be fair so I believe has their rent.


I may be wrong.

Seemed to be doing a lot of work still on interior - when is it expected to open do you know?. Thought I saw one of the employees from one of the other barbers on the lane working there. A lot of competition around!

Oh NOOOOOO! Really?

It always seems busy so I'm surprised.

I hope Mel is okay. Just a short time ago (half term) he was preparing the back garden part for winter by putting some kind of roof over it.


So this closure seems very sudden 😭

Yes that sounds about right.


It sold chocolate coated coffee beans from s big glass jar on a shelf behind the counter, and had lovely cosy quirky little rooms.


It was never quite the same when they knocked it all through, though I understand why they did it.

I think, for me, that moment will come when Khan?s closes and there?s no more mutton/goat available on that lane !

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
    • That's terrible 🤬 Was it the same company both times?
