Last time I surveyed Lordship Lane two years ago it scored really really highly as a Hometown with lots of indie shops -

On a scale of 0-100 Lorsdhip Lane was a 73 in the northern sectino and 75 around Dulwich Library. Anything above 65 is considered a good Hometown.


I was planning to survey it again - anyone want to help me do this?

more cheaper, better valeu, immigant stores please

in answer to henry's question, have a look at this article which explains the concept

Basically the methodology is just counting the numbers of chain stores vs. independent stores and putting them into a formula. If the area is dominated by chain stores it is a Clone Town, if it's the opposite it is a Home Town.


The idea was promulgated by the New Economics Foundation (NEF).

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
