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).

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
