Hello, just moved to the area recently and have to say I absolutely love it. Great area, lovely people and love the vibrant attitude.


Anyway, I've been reading but not posting for a while but something came to my attention the other day. A friend who works for a marketing agency mentioned that Ann Summers were looking to open an outlet on Lordship Lane. I'm a bit concerned really. I mean naughty undies is one thing but it's a bit cheap for the area.


Does anyone else know anything about this? Fingers crossed it isn't true.

Oh Blue Banana has changed, well I must be getting old! Many moons ago in the land of Wales the Blue Banana was a shop peddling all forms of pot paraphernalia and 'free the weed' t-shirts, albeit one that is the most commercialised. But I'm down with the kids of South Central London and would be the first to welcome the new Blue Banana.


No to Ann Summers! Its overpriced tosh.

andy andy andy, don't tar us all with the same prudish brush. When hand crafted from highly polished jade, dildos and cock rings really can be not only practical but quite beautiful - something you'd be proud to display on any upper middle class mantelpiece

It's just dawned on me ... Could marketing agencies be using this forum as way of gauging local responses to a proposed store openings etc?


EastDulwichLady j'accuse! I propose that it is not your friend that works for the marketing firm but rather it is you and that it is your company that has been approached by Ann Summers to canvas local opinion.

@ FrustratedLawyer: That was my very first thought when I saw the post. It just looks like a total plant. Which is why I didn't respond at first.


@mikecg: there is only one dulwichmum.


My own favoured addition to the Lane would be a micro branch of Heals or Liberty.

I've only been to Ann Summers once, to buy a work secret santa present before Christmas. But I have to say I was very enamoured by the service I received from the lady shop assistant who seemed very keen to talk me through many products.. great shop.

    • Ahh, that's too bad. The SLP was always on sale in Sainsbury's and always available in libraries. They did some really detailed local crime reporting and local government reporting that other outlets wouldn't focus on.
    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
