MY EDF Cronies.. I don't have cronies. Most people here would probably agree with you.


The Problem is that there are very few actual 'Local Businesses' Businesses' owned by Local people in ED.


Most are outsiders coming to ED for the Rich Pickings.


Places like Franco Manca is not a Local Business. Its a chain...


It's not just a question of supporting Local Businesses. ?


Local Businesses should be supporting Local People by providing what the whole of the local community 'Needs'

and not what a small minority of the local community 'Wants'


Do you see the difference. ?

I'm praying that Late Knights Brewery take it over. Beer Rebellion in Gipsy Hill is easily my favourite bar right now. (There is another one at Queens Road, Peckham that I haven't been to yet) They have a superb selection of ales, burgers and finger food is a fiver a pop. If they were to take it over I'm sure they'd make a success of it.

There was some activity earlier in the week..


Just looked like they were clearing out all the junk and old furniture..


I'm sure we will all know as soon as something is planned..


Then another 9 months before anything is likely to open.


Not really bothered what happens to the place...

The problem is that in more recent times, past 4 - 5 years people did not frequent the place.


Each subsequent 're-furb' seemed to make the place less appealing.


The last attempt at re-inventing the place did not live up to expectations.

That's exactly the problem isn't it... a large, empty, uninviting space. At least some sort of chain would probably have the know-how and experience to make the place feel a bit more warm and welcoming.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
