Can you actually imagine the Dulwich College Estate leasing premises to a 99p Shop? I suppose that the answer to this is (in the words of the motto of Private Eyes' St Cakes School) "quis paget, entrat".


In any case why all the fuss about the closure of Shepherd's? It isn't an independent since it's part of a chain, albeit much smaller of course than Sainsbury's

Even though it was part of Londis, Shepherd's did not feel like a chain - although agree with views that its range of goods were hit and miss. I rarely used it - odd pint of milk and bread, that sort of thing. The deli counter was good when I have used it.


But how this will work as a Sainsburys Local. It seems far too small compared with any Local that I have been in. I guess that once Martin's has been put out of business then they can knock through?


And although I am biting my tongue while I say this, do, do insist that this store fits into the feel of the Village. Please avoid ending up with that disgusting brown and orange logo. The brown is an unpleasant choice, the orange too in your face and the combination unfathomable. If nothing else - that would be a god send. I'm no great eye for design I have to say, but that colour combo certainly manages to look an eyesore anywhere, although marginally better than Poundland. Well maybe not. On reflection, wouldn't they look great sitting next to each other?

Ye Olde Village Tucke Shoppe (sweet shop) was where Romeo Jones is and the barbers was an electrical goods shop called Fordhams.

I live in walking distance to tbe new proposed sainsbury and I do think it's a shame. There is a good sized sainsbury at the top of Lordship Lane, again in walking distance. I just don't feel we need this facility in the village. It will affect the newsagents, it will affect the wine merchant, it may affect the shop opposite if they sell birthday cards for example. It will affect the look of the village and ultimately it doesn't support an independent high street. It's a shame.


I blame DE for putting rents so high it makes it impossible for independents to locate here. Gail's should have been a William Rose but they couldn't afford it, so we got an over prices artisan cafe instead.. Cause we so needed 4 cafes in the village...


Everyone does know the pub is due to open next year? Lots of comments we need a pub.. We do have one its just being refurbished!

Just got the attached in the post. They seem to have made a few minor changes since the previous design.


On a slightly different subject, I notice that Dulwich Audi has close. Is this permanent and if so does anyone know what will replace it?

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
