Hop, Burns and Black is replacing the laundromat. Sounds great fun, although I was rather crossing fingers that a bar/restaurant would retain the laundromat name and signage - something catchy about it, I thought. No idea what if anything is replacing Ken's.

This is great news. We could do with a good food market, North Cross Road is nice but not enough food for sale there.

Good to hear and can't wait to try it out. I've been looking for a dog vase for quite some time. Ideally in the form of a Skye Terrier?


In fact the perfect day for me would be hair cut at Blue Tit, a beer and a game of space invaders at The Four Quarters, Gowlettini pizza and more ales at The Gowlett, the hot sauce place then the dog shop for said Skye Terrier vase. I'd then round everything off with a stiffener at House of Tippler.

Also a new Vietnamese place in the bussey - Banh Banh. I think they have been running about a month and are located next to rye wax - who do 2 for 1 cocktails between 6-8pm. Not sure if it is just a pop up or a permanent fixture, but the food I had today at their nunhead bite stall was nice.

The PO is staying in the current premises, while the retail shop is gradually moving across to the shop on the corner of Landells Road, next to Uden's funeral directors. They should be out by the end of the month.

Not a restaurant but Ali Baba's juices on rye lane just in the lane next to the bussey building is great - he uses the adventurous fruits (dudhi fruit anyone?)from the mkt to make delish concoctions as well as some more regular juices.

Ali is a super nice fella as well

Ali Baba juice is REALLY good (and they do "normal" juices too if you don't fancy the exotic concoctions). And Four Quarters sometimes do cocktails based on Ali Baba juices (not sure if that's a permanent thing or not).


Also the little curry stand/shack thing next door is pretty good... they make the naan fresh on the spot.

Personally I only use ED for eating/drinking and food shopping. I'm not really interested in clothes/fashion, if I need something I'll either buy it online or pop into one of the shops near my office.


Anyway... a men's clothes shop? Correct me if I'm making incorrect assumptions, but I don't think they'd do much trade during the week.

    • Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.    
    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
