Lordship lane shop gossip (lounged)


Recommended Posts

Dear Clare,


I must admit to bringing a sticky fingered little person into the shop - but I promise that he was always well and truely strapped into his three wheeled Land Rover pram. I even brought him his own raisins and rice cakes and would not scatter my cous cous. It was not me - I promise - who let baby run riot!

You may be interested to know that one of the reasons that there aren't more independent shops opening up in East Dulwich is because many of the landlords who own these properties will only rent premises to 'established' businesses. So they are doing more than anyone else to turn Lordship Lane into an area of chain shops.


I wish there was something we could do, but it's the landlords prerogative. I guess the only thing we can do is object to planning applications and boycott the stores?

Leto,


the only italian thing about the restaurant which used to be next to green & blue was it's name, absolutely nothing else and the food was of a very poor taste indeed....

If it was good it would have still been there (td)

also there are still no places in se22 serving a decent pizza... unfortunately..!!

Castellos had been there for many years, however there is a place in ed that makes handmade pizzas by an authentic italian chef and they are absolutely delicious. Its on Lordship lane at Mon petit chou. Theyve been doing pizza and pasta for a couple of months now and are opening a wine bar too for the evening.

I own several properties in the area and lordship lane (commercial) and am a landlord but would not necessarily lease out to corporate chains ( even though I have been approached). I know of the company you are talking about Vicksg and it seems that he wants the big boys to take over the area but landlords like myself try to preserve individuality of the area.There is something we can do, we can continue to support our local traders.B)

Harumph.


Karter, I'm a great fan of the Chou and go there quite regularly, but I wouldn't even pretend to my mum that it was haute cuisine. Most of their pasta sauces are from a packet, but that doesn't mean they're bad. One shall wait with much anticipation for the wine bar!

Has anyone tried the pizza place in the shopping centre on Rye Lane (not the one with Morrisons in it - the other one)? They're brilliant and totally bargainous - about 3 quid I think for a proper-sized one. And they're proper Italian style thin crust - delicious and not spongy. Only problem is you wouldn't really venture into the centre unless you were looking for some gold shoes or a fake football strip.

    • 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.
