I was driving down through Nunhead on my way to Lewisham this morning and the traffic was unusually bad heading down the main road. As I went past the bakers I noticed a queue of traffic behind a parked bus and a man laying in the road. Does anyone know what exactly happened here and if the chap in question is ok? I drove back through on my way home and police and other emergency vehicles were still in the area.

yes basically the local council are ***ts and nunhead lane is devoid of any serious investment because the executive won't get any votes for their/our money, the fact that it is used as a gateway for heavy goods vehicles coming south of the old kent road and tipper trucks heading to and from the recycling plants in bermondsey, plus every white van using pomeroy street as again, a gateway into ED and surrounding areas means ...well other than the little 10 year old boy who got killed and the driver never caught, and this latest traffic accident means that they, the executive, do not give a flying fuck and in fact just laugh and spend the money on a shit load of improvements round ED where they will get votes. sad but true. please feel free to respond anyone in the council, it's an open forum.


If the museum they closed on the Old Kent Road (livesey) was in ED the chances of it getting shut would have been 0. That is why the Libs have absolutely no chance of ever winning a general election and will without a doubt start to lose seats in the house at the next election.

    • 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.
