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 ......

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
