New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham

[KestonKid]

Oh lor - not another pizza joint?

[edcam]

A base for their deliveries it would appear (they don't have restaurants.) Cue lots more learners riding mopeds on the pavement.

Moved to SE23 from E2 and great to see small high streets like Bellenden road and surrounding area flourishing with independant businesses. There are already so many cafes, restaurants and pubs?.is there a real need for 2 cycle shops? There are not so many creative, interior, craft, gifts, accessories and clothing shops...currently feeling shopping in Central London is over-whelming, polluting and too far away/involves a train journey! With more and more people working from home, local community shopping is rising up, so would like to hear what other residents feel is missing, what would you like to see, would use, and would service a genuine need!

Mamma Dough at Queens Road Peckham is open.

And running craft classes.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Yes, sorry, I was being a bit mischievous / flippant. It's offering craft lessons.

[Jeremy]

I don't know who the hell has the spare time to go to knitting classes or whatever, but good luck to 'em.

[LondonMix]

People who like crafting. Do you have zero time for any hobbies? Is it just work, family, sleep?

I think most people have time for a least one extra hobby occasionally.

[Earl Aelfheah]

I am a little dubious about the viability of a craft shop on the Lane, but genuinely hope they can make a go of it.

Well... I do occasionally have spare time, but usually in the evenings. And knitting/crochet (or whatever they're going to do) don't really strike me as evening activities! I guess I'm just not sure who it's aimed at.

[Pickle]

Knitting and crochet (and the odd glass of wine, and TV) are how I (and many others, I'm sure) fill in my evenings. Three kids, can't afford a babysitter every night.

I wish them luck. It was only a couple of years ago that a similar shop (where the Mary Portas shop is now) closed down. Realistically, any serious crafters go online for yarn/fabrics etc, as they're cheaper. Classes could do well though.

[Mugglesworth]

New pizza place opening in Nunhead, where Bambuni used to be...

[Sue]

I think crafting is having a moment. Don't know about round here though.

Isn't Stag and Bow (I think that's the name) in Forest Hill a craft shop which runs classes in sewing etc? That's been going a while now.

[Jeremy]

So John The Unicorn has a new upstairs restaurant. It's not really pub grub... think modern "small plates" type stuff. Really very, very good. Food not a million miles away from somewhere like Pedler... I might even prefer it.
