It has been on the market for ages, obviously nobody has shown an interest yet... I imagine they will be there until they get a buyer.


Also don't rule out the possibility of someone buying the business and continuing to run it.

What I really don't understand is if someone dislikes so much about a place, why BE there. ED is not perfect - nowhere is, but I'd rather be in ED than in Dalston, or alternatively than in somewhere really chi chi like Richmond. There are lots of shops I don't go in on LL - some are too expensive, some sell products I don't like or are not interested in, but I'd rather there ARE shops rather than empty shop fronts. In Devon where I originate from, Torquay has 46% empty shops. Just be glad that we are not like that (yet)

Cassius, ED and a predominantly rural location in south Devon surely cannot be compared in terms of shopping? I mean Exeter for example is considered one of the biggest clone town shopping centres in the whole of the UK and yet the environment is just really amazing and buzzing - it isnt always about whether the shops are independent or chain, the state of the town centre and the people who frequent it make the big difference, along with decisions made by local councils and government. I agree though that I would rather see the shops in business than out of it.

Well actually Louisa until recently Torquay (being full of middle class snobs AND chavs !!!) had a huge variety of shops - from Greggs and Pound shops all the way to chi chi boutiques that would equal Mrs Robinson for range and price of clothes. I used the example merely to illustrate how lucky we are in LL to still have a busy and thriving shopping street (even if some of the shops are not to your particular liking)


I would suggest that Exeter is buzzing more because it has a very good University rather than anything else.

The square around the Cathedral in Exeter is really nice though on a warm summer day. Some lovely restaurants and tea rooms around there.


I was last in Torquay in 2007 and I found it to be really busy to be honest, I know that the collapse of Woolies did damage the high street recently though, unlike in a London street the death of Woolies meant that many local places went under too. Shame really.

The food in Hisar is delicious.


And they do still do takeaways, don't they?

Aren't you the same guy who didn't like Turkish food on the Forest Hill thread?

What's your game mate?

Are you really a local curry house owner or something?

      Leaves on East Dulwich streets

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      It's not entitlement FFS. We're paying the council more than £2k a year in tax. It's not too much to expect them to clean the streets and drains of leaves and dog shit for all that money, as well empty one bin once a fortnight.  The streets round here are a disgrace. The council are paid to make them not so. If they can't do it they should say so and stop charging money for the non-service.

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      By Moovart · Posted

      The Post Office no longer runs the Lordship Lane PO either.  That slipped through under the radar!  Below is an extract from a letter from the PO to me in response to my query about long queues.  Shame the PO didn't say who the new owner actually is.  Does anyone know?   Whilst this branch was a 'Crown' office, this has now been franchised. Services at this location are now operated by an independent Postmaster. They're responsible for all aspects of the day-to-day running of the branch, and is the employer of the members of staff who work in the branch.

      Leaves falling throughout autumn and winter is just nature doing its thing. My bugbear is manmade rubbish strewn all over the floor after bin day. I go out and gather up leaves in my own area. Those with a garden put them in a bag and leave. They make lovely compost.

      Charity World Cup Football Song ⚽🎶 by East Dulwich Kids

      By Alex ED · Posted

      Shouting Out For England is an original England football song to be sung by children from East Dulwich primary schools, with all proceeds going to Football Beyond Borders - a UK charity that works with young people from areas of socio-economic disadvantage who are passionate about football but disengaged at school. We’re aiming to get to NUMBER 1 on the week of the start of the World Cup in June! To professionally record and release the song we’re looking to raise  £3,750. Any amount will help, but £50 + sponsors receive: a name or logo credit on the digital release sleeve (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube etc.) mention on the project website and social posts You can donate at https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/shoutingout - where you can also hear a short demo clip of the song. We hope you can take part, but if not, it would be great if you could forward to anyone you think might be interested!   Shouting Out For England https://shoutingoutforengland.com
