Essential shops (other than food) needed in ED

[Eliza.D]

All my childhood holidays were camping holidays or outdoor activity holidays.

We used to go to a fantastic shop at Crystal Palace Called 'Crystal Palace Camping'. They sold everything you could need for the great outdoors from tents to wellington boots.

Can I suggest a camping shop.

I remember that camping shop and getting a small-ish bottle of gas for my blow torch, many years ago.

I would like a Wilkinsons commonly called 'wilko's' they have lots of useful stuff at a competetive price including apple trees for a fiver, which is cheaper than Columbia rd market.

A food only Marks.

A Lidl or Aldi.

An Asda.

A 'Pauls' the posh french bakery with a cafe at the rear.

Bring in the original Hatchards, the one before wankerstones bought and ruined by reducing the stocks of audio books and all the other interesting stuff which has now been sold off, never to be replaced.

I would also like the Peak district, Dartmoor, and the Devon coastline, oooh yes and Harry Ramsdens from Otley, all within 20 miles of Lordship Lane.

We already have Lidl, Aldi, Asda in Peckham... so not too far away. If you're going to get in the car and do a big shop, an extra 5 mins journey doesn't make much difference.

Paul's is OK, but you'd hope with the abundance of bakeries and cafes we have (blackbird, luca's, chandelier, petit chou, etc etc) they'd be able to come up with something better.
