I believe we get one free promotional post in this section before the admins tell us off so here goes... ;) We are Hop Burns & Black and we sell craft beer (more than 250 bottled beers plus refillable flagons), hot sauce, cider, wine and even a few records at our new shop and tasting room in 38 East Dulwich Rd, SE22 9AX (next door to Balfe's Bikes). It's been fantastic to meet so many of you lovely folk over the past few weeks since we opened.


We wanted to let you know that a) we exist, if you haven't discovered us already, and b) that we have extended opening hours over the festive period to ensure you're not caught short without any of the good things in life above. We're open every day til Christmas and have everything you need for Christmas gifting and New Year's celebrations, including gift boxes, 12-bottle crates and beautiful big celebratory beers and bubbles. You can find our full opening times at our website, www.hopburnsblack.co.uk (full site coming in the next few weeks). We look forward to seeing you soon.

I went last week for stocking fillers for my husband, and came away with both hot sauce and beer very happy. The owner overheard me wondering aloud whether they stocked something and immediately helped me out. I look forward to introducing my other half to this place when it's no longer a secret. Good luck, guys!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
