The vacant shop was going to be a sunbed salon by BPlus but the premises was in bad condition with a leaking roof (not a good idea with high powered s/beds) and had a case of squatters! So the owner of Beauty plus is converting the back area of current salon to acquire new sunbeds. The shop has ample space. The owner has told me this recently...

Went to the new bar/pub in Peckham tonight - Dead Dolls Club.


Really didn't like it. Burly bouncers on door chatting to a bundle of their mates, pricey and not great drinks, generally felt unfriendly.


Maybe it was first night nerves.


But really not feeling like going back.


Of course, others may love it!

That's a shame, I was looking forward to trying it out! Hopefully first night jitters as you said.


Did you have to bring something to donate? I think I read about it somewhere...?

Old French Cafe property went back to the land lady who wants it back for general repairs.

My feeling is that it is a way to get the property back tart it up and put it back on the market with a higher rent.


Laundrette & Bookies no idea.


In Peckham: I am opening up a co-working office for like minded creative types, looking for web designers, illustrators, graphics, film editors and architects etc... please do pass on the info if you know anyone looking.

I'll still try it

Maybe the doormen/staff are based in Islington and not sure of Peckham yet.


The Hope had local people (I was recognised on opening week from another pub :) )


There is a potential pub crawl too (Camberwell, Pelican, Hope, Dollhouse)

I'm intrigued by this place. They obviously think there is a business case to open in this location, but it seems like a strange location up an 'up market' kind of place with hardly any passing footfall and in a residential area, not very close to either of the train stations etc. I go past on the bus some evenings, and it does look better than the boarded up old pub used to look. I guess they are hoping it will be a destination in its own right.

Do you have to be a member to go there as well? It's a little off the beaten track and i'm not sure i would want to have to remember a membership card on the off chance i would want to go for a drink in a pub in Hanover Park of an evening.


The location is a little strange for that type of venture it's true.

I popped in there last night - no security man

The lady at the bar was very welcoming


Not empty -actually OK for a Tuesday.

    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
    • Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
