Due to this topic being excessively long, a new 2024 "New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham" has been opened here. Please continue the discussion there.

Following on from small St Christophers shop, i think the pricepoint at the big St Christophers is too high now. Visited this week but sadly left with nothing, I usually leave with some little thing or other. Small glass dish - I thought should be ?1 pound for a tea light was ?3.50!

I agree their prices have rocketed, but to be fair so I believe has their rent.


I may be wrong.

Seemed to be doing a lot of work still on interior - when is it expected to open do you know?. Thought I saw one of the employees from one of the other barbers on the lane working there. A lot of competition around!

Oh NOOOOOO! Really?

It always seems busy so I'm surprised.

I hope Mel is okay. Just a short time ago (half term) he was preparing the back garden part for winter by putting some kind of roof over it.


So this closure seems very sudden 😭

Yes that sounds about right.


It sold chocolate coated coffee beans from s big glass jar on a shelf behind the counter, and had lovely cosy quirky little rooms.


It was never quite the same when they knocked it all through, though I understand why they did it.

I think, for me, that moment will come when Khan?s closes and there?s no more mutton/goat available on that lane !

    • Two wrongs don't make a right. Labour ran on a manifesto of "we aren't like them" and "we are different" and"you can trust us/we will restore faith in politics". They are doing nothing to convince anyone that any of those promises are being met - they are letting everyone down. u-turning on everything and are fast-tracking the doomsday scenario of a Reform government. Even the runway on the "it's all the Tories fault" is running out. I dislike politicians because they cannot be trusted and Rayner just highlighted that with ribbons on. She should have been so careful after the focus on the electoral roll issues she had with the house in Ashton-under-Lyne and then under a year later this comes up. Clearly the advice she took included a recommendation to take proper advice that she failed to do - that's just daft and the most galling thing is that she didn't just resign when this came up - she tried to spin out of it but must have known she was toast. Trust is fast being eroded. I desperately want Labour and Starmer to fix this because the alternative it too scary to think about but the way things are going they are fast-tracking Farage into No.10. Labour are letting us all down.  
    • Same can be said for the current and prior governments 
    • Good afternoon, We are looking for a gardener to tidy up our climbing rose. It is very high, so the work will require someone with a tall ladder. can you please recommend anyone?  thanks s
    • So you are also old enough to remember the Heath Out protest by the TUC when unemployment hit 1 million? We all have selective memories, this thread is no different. Please give me a list of the Labour sleaze. And compare it to the Tories.  There are a few of you who appear to have a long term dislike of Labour, so all this is a gift.
