The existing tenant needs Dulwich Estate permission to assign the lease (not to be unreasonable withheld) but they seem to support it - no doubt it's a sure way to secure the rent.


I have been told that DE has already insisted on some changes to Sainsbury's original layout/design. There is currently no planning application for a new shop front with Southwark but this will come in due course.


For deliveries, because it is the same sort of shop, the Council will have to accept the existing situation - unloading in the street, and parking likewise - it's as now.


The only planning application will be for the shop front - and loading/parking is not part of that. If there is an application for a different 'use class', there will be a chance to comment.

what a shame its not going to be waitrose lol. I'm joking !

i'm fed up with all of them, everywhere you turn a flaming tesco express or sainsbury local has popped up.

I to thought it was very small, how much money do these locals take, or is it just about having a street presence.

Extract from the latest edition of Dulwich Society eNews:


"Sainsbury?s comes to Dulwich: The Dulwich Estate has confirmed that Sainsbury?s will be taking over from Shepherds at 88 Dulwich Village. They are likely to open early in the New Year."

Anyone know what might replace the Post Office at No.84 when it moves to the Pharmacy? The new Sainsburys will presumably put pressure on the newsagent at No. 86 which may also then go. Would the Estate allow Sainsburys to expand into these units? Surely not...

Surely yes. They don't give a shit. The bigger the company the higher rents they can charge.


There goes the neighbourhood.

What a shame, I flippin' hate Sainsburys local (and Tesco express....and all the others). In my experience it seems good at the time (convenient etc), but then becomes repetative and boring- plus all that crowding in narrow aisles, fruit and veg all pre-packed, squeezing around shelf stackers, no bread left, self scan tills that NEVER save you time because some item doesn't scan.....etc! And it's not even a money saver!


The independent places will be pushed out

    • And halfway down, "commercial venues and events" 🙄
    • Help! I plugged an external hard drive into my laptop  to see what was on it, and now I can't eject it because it has started doing something.  I'm getting a message that it's currently in use, close any programs or windows that might be using it, and try (to eject it) again. But I've closed everything down that I can see. It's got an enormous amount of stuff on it, documents photos and music,  which I don't want to lose.  Could it be synching to OneDrive? What shall I do? Just wait till it's finished whatever it's doing? Surely whatever it's doing shouldn't have started automatically? I hate my laptop with a vengeance 🤬 It has caused me nothing but trouble since I got it. I also hate Windows 11. Rant over.

    • Mango Indian just off Borough Market is great. A bit pricy (though worth it) in the evenings, but if you're going for lunch they do a £12 set menu. Not quirky though, sorry!  https://lovemango.co.uk/menus/
