About 4 shops have been knocked into one just down from the Plough on Lordship Lane. I was told by a man who lives opposite that it's going to be a Tesco Local or similar. There's no official sign or other indicator as to whether this is true, but it does look the right size. (Unless it's going to be another unnecessarily enormous branch of Foxtons, of course)


I reported it back to friend who said he had also heard this rumour, which suggests to me that maybe it's more than a rumour.


Obviously it would mean death for the various Costcutter type shops in the area, but handy for the people who live nearby and don't want to have to get a bus up to FH Sainsburys to get their shopping or down to Somerfield in ED. LL is a very long road, after all!


Anyone heard anytihng official?

Somerfields applied to Southwark Council for an alcohol license for that premise back in Feb. This was due to be heard at committee on the 20th April I believe. There should be a notification soon on whether they were successful. Although I see no legal reason why it would be turned down.
As far as I could understand, Somerfield has been taken over by Co-op but it will take about two years for all the branches to be sold on or transformed into Co-ops. since Somerfield is still a going concern I suppose it's understandable that it can still expand and open new branches. I don't want a national supermarket to open up by the Plough but I'd rather a Somerfield than a Tesco.

I cycled past there last night.


you know what I saw?


Nothing.


Unless my definition of 'moved in' is outdated

I have a feeling the units near the Plough will open up under the name of Co-Operative as opposed to Somerfield, and if this is the case i'm not knocking it. I am pleased to see Tesco starting work on the Rye Lane Tesco, it is a welcome addition and will hopefully attract passing trade from the station of an evening via the lane itself. Maybe if the increased footfall takes place, we will end up with a selfridges as well as H&M and all other shops. Anyone want rehash the simply food agenda? speak now or forever hold your peace!

That's the costcutter that's already there(by the busstop), not the new one!

Loads of builders hats with 'tescos' on them on the floor in the unit now :).

Tesco don't have their own firm of builders.


Whoever they are they would be subcontracted.


And would wear their own hard-hats. Not Tesco ones.


Are we willing this place into existence?

    • 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...
