New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham

[antantant]

Had coffee at Trio early last Saturday morning. The coffee was good and the space great. Will go back for lunch one day.

Then had breakfast at Cafe G on the Rye and it was really, really tasty, although a bit more expensive than I usually pay.

monica - don't worry, the chances of Nando's coming are zilch. But I think it's fine... chicken and chips for a reasonable price.

I see the pet shop on North X Rd.is for sale. Another useful shop going. Perhaps we could have a coffee bar or an estate agents there. It must be yards to the nearest

[DulwichFox]

It was up for sale in 1993. and I nearly bought it then..

But already having a shop on Upland Rd. I declined and it had gone by the time

I got rid of the other place.

I was in the pet shop the other day and spoke to the owner about the sale. He's been there 21 years and is retiring. Nice guy and useful shop. Shame to see it go.

[DulwichFox]

That would tie in with the time I was thinking about it..

Sitting at the lights in Kennington on Saturday, I observed three adjoining estate agents on one side of the road opposite two estate agents on the other. Locals probably have to use Ocado because there weren't any obvious shops.

It's handy if they want to pop down the road and buy a house though.

[Jeremy]

There are two Tescos in Kennington..

[Louisa]

So getting back to the old ED Deli site and Molly Meg/Anorak impending pop-up closure. Do we have any idea who or what is interested in this site? I understand an application to extend the retail space has been submitted? If it is another estate agents I will give up the will to live.

I still wonder about maybe Costa, given the apparent success of Caffe Nero over the road. I'd be amazed if anything independent could afford that space.

What's wrong with Nando's??

[DulwichFox]

The ED Deli site is far too small for a Nandos.. And there is already one in Camberwell and Brixton.

Also The Fox on the Hill Wetherspoons sell similar food..

What is happening in the old JoJo Mamaan Bebe store?

[carrieon23]

It's just getting done up and re opening.

[Rook]

The newly vacant site on FHR is going to be a solarium - owned and managed by Beauty Plus

[Louisa]

Oh wow this has made my day. Not been in a solarium in years. I'll definitely be using this.

Louisa.

[KidKruger]

Isn't a solarium what you keep lizards, snakes and tropical insects in ?

[Louisa]

I thought a solarium was a jacuzzi bath/steam room/sauna type place? Please say I'm right. Can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon in this cold weather.

Louisa.

[Earl Aelfheah]

I thought a solarium was just another name for a tanning salon.

[Seabag]

Not ED but from ED

Il Mirto are opening on Dartmouth Road in Forrest Hill

[*Bob*]

It's an ice cream isn't it?

I prefer the 'exotic' one anyway.

[Earl Aelfheah]

They're not shutting their ED store are they? I like Il Mirto.

It is...

1. (Building) a room built largely of glass to afford exposure to the sun

2. (Electronics) a bed equipped with ultraviolet lights used for acquiring an artificial suntan

3. (Commerce) an establishment offering such facilities

I wonder? I really like Il Mirto too. Dartmouth Rd would be a good spot for them and not much local competition.
