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.

The old William hill on lordship lane might be a restaurant its the same firm that are opening in the old aldi place in dulwich village

[goldilocks]

Its going to be a Megan's coffee shop and deli bar or something - was mentioned upthread. Basically a cafe

Out of interest, does that need planning permission (change of use).

Blue Mountain is closing permanently.

I'm devastated. Its latest incarnation was brilliant.

It was the first sign of gentrification in East Dulwich many moons ago, but a good one.

😭😭😭

The former newsagent opposite A J Farmer's (more or less, next to the small watch repair shop) on the Lane is to be a barbershop, so all the best to this new venture.

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!

[teddyboy23]

Oh NOOOOOO! Really?

It always seems busy so I'm surprised.

[purplehaze]

Blue Mountain .. I remember when they moved from Peckham many years ago. So many fond memories - way ahead of its time.

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 😭

I think Blue a mountain opened 1992 IIRC.

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.

[Lynne]

Not ED i know, but i was sorry to see the Clark's outlet shoe shop in Peckham is closing. Soon there'll be no reason at all to shop in Peckham

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

[Dogkennelhillbilly]

Do you buy a lot of mutton and goat?
