new tesco express in rye lane

[chrisz]

Sorry, I was a little vague in the start of my thread. Yes Townleygreen, why another express store? Too right, many regular items are indeed marked up relative to their larger stores. I'm sure it won't be long till we see a couple of Sainsbury Locals sprouting their ugly heads nearby.

p.s. I agree their 'fresh' bread is utter s@!t, ayres is just around the corner, and they do fab bread

I recall a big Tesco somewhere near where the Post Office is now at the south end of Rye Lane. Maybe it closed in the 80s? Just shows how things go in circles.

When is the Waitrose on Lordship Lane opening?

Can someone provide an update please?

I heard it was opening in the unit where Foxtons was. Oh, it's not closed yet.

Shurely shome mishtake, I read on here nearly a year ago that it was closing!?

Someone on here has time to phone the council daily to check what new planning apps there are, maybe they can shed some light on it.

Thank you. I was getting a bit worried that it wasn't going to open and that I'd moved to Dulwich from Kew for no reason!
