No, same company, old/new faces.

Agreed re the number of pizza places... But that's no reason not to try this one if you're in the area. Last night I stumbled upon it as other options in that stretch are closed on Mondays. Glad I did, the pizza was very tasty and I had an interesting chat / pizza oven tour by Nic afterwards!

[Jeremy]

So pizza pickup is open now? Will definitely try it.

Looks like the new ali baba juice place by PR station is closed already.. not seen it open since before Christmas.

The Spanish place on NXR - the one that didn't actually ever open, I think - is going to be a clothes shop, according to two people in there last week.

It was open on and off, at least as a deli which also sold coffee and sandwiches, though sadly it never became the fully fledged restaurant I think they had plans for.

Do you know what sort of clothes shop, Nigello? I'm hoping not mega expensive designer, but I'm not holding my breath!

[sheff]

I believe that Mac and Miller (the white and black shop where the old pet shop used to be) are moving here to take a larger space.

[KatieGG]

We are! We will be open March 2017 and we are launching menswear and expanding beauty and womenswear. We will be stocking high street brands ... [email protected] / 07817 426 667

[Beej]

About time someone opened a decent menswear shop, hopefully it won't just cater for the typical stuffy middle class, middle-aged MOR blandness that so captivates the area, I practically fall asleep when I walk past white stuff and ed.

[Earl Aelfheah]

White stuff is so depressing

Anyone know of any plans for the shops in a row next to William Rose?

The unit directly next to the butchers looks like its being worked on. Then next to that you have the laundrette that has now closed down. Then an Indian thats still open but i've never seen any punters in, then last in the row is the Irish shop which hasn't been open for donkeys

Some prime sites there to be had

I didnt ask is anyone had noticed. I asked if anyone knew if there were any plans for the units

Sarky dickhead

I too would like to know the plans for this stretch. Interesting to note a new planning application has been re-submitted for the Londis unit on north cross/lordship corner. Worth a visit to the planning portal if you haven't already. If Londis are forced out due to some fancy chain restaurant coming in, I'd like to think they could relocate to another unit locally. A lot of us find Londis very useful.

Louisa.

The cinema is going to expand into the Irish shop space,

The building next to William Rose was sold last year. Its fire damaged but I believe the main plan is to turn the upper portion into flats. No idea if the developer has already found a lease for the ground floor shop unit.

I think there is a planning application out for the laundrette. I can't remember the exact street address but if you know it, you can look it up on Southark's planning portal.

Dear All

its amazing to see the speculation about the former Le Moulin.

it has been a very long and hard redevelopment of the building itself from the basement up as at one point you could see the sky , with lots of blood sweat and tears and a great effort going into the venue we are finalising many little final but important points before we open at 377 Lordship lane next door to The Plough Pub.

if you google the name of Victus & Bibo you will find a great deal of information about us and style of food we offer without giving too much away as it will be obviously worlds apart from our usual but offering snippets of this and of course in a different environment.

watch this space!!!

we are local and we look forward to seeing you all within the next couple of months once we open.

Thanks

Victus & Bibo

[Nigello]

The premises near to the Co-op (the former William Hill, I think, or maybe it was the launderette) on FHR will be offices, according to a man who said he was in charge of the work there.

There's now a sign on the boarded up Mrs Robinsons unit saying it'll be a Mons cheesemongers (their first dedicated shop). Cheese fiends: rejoice. People who miss Iceland: despair.

Plus, technically not new, but Organic Village Market opposite EDT has been renovated, now has an organic butcher's counter out back. Perfect for when you fancy a grass-fed steak at 2am.

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been covered, but does anyone know what is coming in place of the bank next to the coop on LL? Also, has John Barnett closed down? Looked like it driving past today!

Thanks

Jake

The bank is going to become a Neighborhood Veterinary Surgery.

I think according to the Southwark planning portal, John Barnett is being given a refurb and extension? Sure I read that somewhere.

Louisa.

[JJ@260]

Seems a shame to open a vet on a main high street, would have been a great spot for a new independent restaurant.

John Barnett live on... Who knew!

Thanks

Jake

[Jeremy]

I think we have enough restaurants already though - and there are already (at least) two new restaurants in the works in ED.

John Barnett is an excellent shop, especially for kids. If they really are expanding, then it's well deserved.

[Cardelia]

John Barnett have expanded a little out back and they're taking the opportunity to have a complete refit of the main store as well. The plan is to reopen in 4 weeks, but obviously this depends on the builders sticking to the schedule.

Interesting. At least one application on Lordship Lane has been refused on the grounds that a change of use (A1 to A3) "would increase the number of non-retail uses to an unacceptable level resulting in material harm to the retail character and vitality of the shopping parade".
