According to the newsagents a couple of doors down, the old florists on EDG isn't going to be a shop but a kind of showroom to demonstrate shop fittings - shame.


As for the toyshop idea I think it would do extremely well - sure business is highly seasonal but there's enough money in the area nowadays to thrive.


In my fantasy life I'd often considered opening a top shop on LL based on the one of Beckenham High Street. Surely you've all got nostalgic memories of slightly dusty toyshops stacked full to the ceilings with toys and games and friendly chap behind the glass topped counter full of model trains...


Anyway money aside my other half said I'm too miserable to own a toyshop and it would probably go bust within tweleve months.

Thanks for the encouragement!


I know the toy shop on Beckenham High Sreet - one of the few toy shops with things children actually want to buy. It might go bust with the rent at 30K a year but given that Green and Black are paying 35k for the restaurant half of their emporium - who knows? What to join me in my venture?

Ooh I remember the toy shop down LL! It had a model train system right in the middle! And stacks and stacks of games and various fun things. The one in the village isn't as fun... It's basically a rich kid's bedroom.


I'd like a local music shop, once a man on the street kept on pestering me "Where is the Lordship Lane Music shop?" "Erm... there isnt one." "No, no there IS one. There can't not be! There's a music shop along here somewhere!!"


I thought he was having me on, but he seemed genuinely pissed off...

There are two music shops in the area

- South London Music is at 54 Grove Vale, http://www.slmusic.co.uk/

- Dulwich Music Shop in Uplands Road. They were originally at that address, moved for a long time to W Dulwich but saw the error of their ways ;-) and returned to ED earlier this year.


Was this the sort of shop your enquirer was thinking about ......

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
