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

Those ones in Peckham have been weird and crap for as long as I can remember. Although I do remember being in them a lot as a kid, so maybe they had some useful stalls.


The E&C one is like a timewarp back to the 80s. All very odd. But there is some tasty food to be had.

I quite like the tat but not going to pay ?30-40 for an old OXO tin if you get my drift.

Even if that's what they go for.


I do not consider a Dog in a Bun as Street food. Perhaps it's not meant to be.


I suppose if you are out for the day/few hours with the kids then it might suffice.

But if you live 300 yards away and walk through there 4-6 times on a Sat. One is hardly

likely stop of and buy anything when you can eat at home.


I buy Tea from the Tiger Tea tea man but he is not there very often.

Other than that I have no bicycle to repair. Think that guy does a good service.


Miss the Photographer guy that used to be outside Clippers.

Used to stop and have a chat. Knowledgeable guy.

The photographer was a good bloke. He's moved to the Isle of Wight but I think he does Northcote Rd market on Saturdays if you fancy hopping on the 37.

Aww I remember those "stay on topic" days. I was often drifting off into my own world straying into the realms of posh prams and daffodils. It seems I'm often the one clutching at straws using the stay on topic line myself when I'm back into a corner or made to feel guilty for occasionally talking about issues that concern me (street food, class, iceland). The term street food is just a hyped up London media-type bubble phrase thrown into the mix to make shit food sound cool. Reminds me of the Harry Enfield 'I saw you coming' clip.

Sadly not. He upped sticks and moved back to Australia a while back. He sold his stand to lovely lady who was a fan and who keeps The Dog father Diner going to this day with many of Coopers original recipes.

Down on Rye Lane:


K&S Arcade next to Khans, soon to be renamed Holdron's Arcade, is being populated with new businesses such as YAM Records (vintage and new release), Nest (clothing), Love (african textiles), Bussey Exchange (shopfront for the artists and makers in the Bussey), and Peckham Vision where you can go to find out what's in store for the redevelopment of the area e.g. the station area, the multi-story & Morrison's carparks, plus the idea for the Green Line walkway - it's a great chance to get involved and have some say in the future shape of the area.


Downstairs in the Bussey Basement is a bar, Bhan Bhan Thai street food, and vinyl sales.


About 1/2 way back down the side of the Bussey where the carpark opens up, there's Taste of Christmas - bar with food. Early days, they are using this time before Christmas to see what works, what doesn't. It's also got an events space.


The transformation of the Discount Decorating premises into a pub of the Antic persuasion is underway.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
