This junction is closed due to an unsafe building and dangerous scaffolding at 373 Lordship Lane.


A roof collapsed causing the shop owner to be injured. The london Fire Brigade were called and Southwark Building control called out. They have highlighted the scaffolding is overloaded and dangerous as well.

The shop is on a long lease and the freeholder clearly hasn't managed the building works properly.


Southwark Building Control are organising an engineer to advise how to make the scaffolding safe, then ensure the works take place and then reopen the junction.


Any problems or concerns please get in touch with me.

Oh my goodness ! Poor guy!

I really hope he isn't badly injured . Poor man as he has to move from his previous location to try and run a business in a building with ongoing work that was obstructing his shop and losing him customers and business .

Some people are just truly inconsiderate .

I hope he has a speedy recovery .

He used to be in the shop by sainsburys but has relocated to the corner shop next to the funeral place and its impossible for them to earn a living with the scaffolding in the way .

I'm glad he is at home and it wasn't worse .

Do we know what purpose the scaffolding is serving? Seems to have been up for ages with very little work going on. Similarly in that little strip, what is happening at the old french place? There seemed to be a lot of activity a few months ago, but that seems to have stopped.

Adding this post to say the guys from the old shop & Post Office have been serving the community long before Sainsburys Local appeared. Its previous incumbent was a motor spares outlet


Also curious as to why the feverish work on the former Le Moulin place has stalled......


As an aside to the building work abutting the shop in question.....


In the middle of last year, i was picking up some dry cleaning from the chap on the other corner, whilst a very large Metropolitan Police vehicle appeared to be delivering re-conditioned bricks to the workmen on site at this place


I didn't imagine it because passers by were stopping to look

I was only speaking to them in there new shop last week and they was saying how they have tried everything to try and do something ref the scaffolding and how the council had just feed him rubbish and had no assistance...

I think the council will have to answer some questions now


hope Singh makes a speedy recovery him and his family are so nice I was happy for them when they got there new premices as where they was before the landlord was a scrooge

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
