New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham

[Renata Hamvas]

Bambuni are moving into the corner premises that was the site of several pop-up shops (a while ago it was a haberdashery) and I think a cash point (not commission charging one) is going into a new shop front.

I've always said we need a cashpoint down Evelina Road. The only one is in one of the mini-supermarkets and that charges you to take out cash. This will will be a welcome addition if it's free.

I actually remember when it was a Haberdashers and that was many many years ago.

It's good to see that more and more new shops are opening in that part of Nunhead, to add to the Butcher, Baker and Candlestick maker (well candlestick sellers anyway) and Fishmonger. It's a nice stretch of road where you can pick up almost anything you need.

Thanks for the info Renata.

There is a new quite randomly placed charging cashpoint in Nunhead - one of those free-standing on the street things joined with a payphone. It's up the other end - outside 2sisters Indian. It's ?1.50 for withdrawals and I've never seen anyone use it.

John the Unicorn opens on Saturday

I can't be 100% sure (I heard this on the grapevine last night), but it appears the coffee shop part of Bambuni is remaining in the current Bambuni premises, so it's an expansion of the business!

Not SE22, not SE15 but further afield: a new convenience shop is opening on Camberwell New Rd near the Green (224, I think). I mention it because there is loads of housing going up along that stretch of road and this is the first bit of additional, useful infrastructure I have seen to go with it.

I do fear the worst for bus routes and traffic in general for those of us who travel from SE22 into town down this route when hundreds more people are wanting to do the same.

I don't go to Peckham often but I have walked up & down Rye Lane a few times recently..

I really cannot say I have noticed any development which resembles a pub..

Where exactly is this place ? Is it in or off of Rye Lane. ?

Hi

Yes my mistake it opens today.

It is on Rye Lane just up from the 343 bus stop on the left if you were walking towards Nigel road

Its run by Antic pubs (same people as the Hope)

[Jah Lush]

Where Greggs used to be, I think.

[Earl Aelfheah]

used to be discount decorating possibly

[DulwichFox]

I've found a piccy...

Strange signage.. ? Not exactly inspiring.. Awful.. :(

I've got such high hopes for John the Unicorn - with its big double frontage on Rye Lane. Will definitely be checking it out over the weekend.

Greggs was next to the building that got burnt down in 2011 riots

and still not rebuilt. Greggs got damaged and never re-opened.

Looks seriously shite. Terrible signage. Hoping for a lot better inside. Might pop in later or tomorrow arvo to give it the once over.

[*Bob*]

Went past it on the bus. At the time - from the signage - I couldn't work out if it was a pub or a 1970's-themed shoe shop.

Hope it's better on the inside.

Retro/ironic signage... bang on trend for the hipster kidz. Possibly not for the likes of Fox or indeed me.

Give it a chance :)

Is it even open yet (11:00 AM maybe)

[Earl Aelfheah]

Bring on the moan :-(

Personally, i'm glad to see new businesses investing in Peckham, bringing some money in to the area and employing local people.

Hmmm in my nosiness looking at the "teasers" on their twitter feed... I think you might be disappointed *sighs*

[mancity68]

Looked ok when I peered through window.... If the beer is as good and - relatively - reasonably priced as The Hope, I'll be happy.

[Jah Lush]

Popped down there this arvo. It wasn't open though the sign says it's opening tonight, they've still got the builders in and it looked a bit of a mess. The signage looks even worse close up. Dead shabby. Oh, sorry shabby chic's in innit. I'll give it another whirl maybe next week, give them a chance to get fully operational.

I actually liked the sign. I dunno, get the impression that whatever the did, people would be moaning. Clearly it won't be to everyone's taste, but at least it's somewhere new and it's good to see pubs opening up instead of being turned into flats for once.
