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 !

    • Atanas did a brilliant job on my bathroom renovation. Nothing was too much trouble and they were clean and tidy. Highly recommend.
    • If we accept what the OP has written, and it does seem credible, the father did not respond to the incident appropriately. His child was out of his line of sight when the OP was hit from behind by the child on a bike. Many of us, having been startled like this, might express some displeasure. Rather than a sincere and concerned apology, it sounds as though the father instead attempted to paint the OP as the problem, even laughing at them. I don't know what kind of message that would send to his child but doubt it is a good one. 
    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.
