The two main Goose Green fairs have come and gone for the summmer


The 2 biggies in the area I am next looking forward to are the Lambeth Country Fair which is mid July


in Brockwell Park


and the Jerk festival in Horniman Gardens at the beginning of August


(advice: get there early if you want food at the Horniman)

You are missing out the very enjoyable Goose Green Primary School Carnival festival. This year is it is on Saturday 11 July, midday start, Carnival procession arrives 1pm. Further inforamtion: email [email protected] or call Dagmar (020 7732 3493).


A Council arranged dog event is also planned for Satruday 22 August.

Thanks Eileen. We have indeed a lot of stalls selling interesting arts and crafts ranging from mexican jewellery to children parties via adult and child clothing. The Gowlett Arms is providing the beer tent and there will be a variety of hot food as well as a cake stall and coffee van. And above all, the childrens activities with the Goose Green year 6 kids providing lots of kids activities, a stage with song and dance performances and a wide range of information stalls and other activities. We really look forward to our school's fair this year, and hope that lots of local residents - with or without kids - are going to join us.


BTW, St John's and St Clement's school's fair is on the same day, so we're hoping to have a bit of a community party thing going around the Green.


Cheers, and hope to see you there, Dagmar

    • 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.
