Domitianus Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 A decent gym. Fusion and EPS or whatever it is are SH**E!A couple of building societies instead of the dreadful Barclays and HSBC.Gun club, brothel and a shop that sells those sharp objects you can scatter on the ground to puncture the tyres of the horrific bugaboos!

SCSB79 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Bit off topic but I was wondering how the bike shop on ED Road is getting on... I remember when moving to ED a couple of years ago and thought it would be a good business venture as there wasn't one... if only I had the drive, know-how and a bit of balls to do my own thing I could have been in there before them!!!!

EmmaG Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 A B&B or hotel please. I know about the Uplands, but their rooms aren't all en-suite and their double bed isn't big enough or firm enough for my parents - and it's above a pub!! We need a B&B with a choice of rooms and bed-sizes.

KidKruger Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 No record shop, apart from the weekend market stall.Hardly anywhere to play pool or snooker.No nightclub ?No different Indian / South Asian restaurants (ie. they are all the same no variety, lik regional Indian).

SeanMacGabhann Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Is that sarcasm? Surely between the multitude of corners shops. Pretty Traditional, and the guy next to the ED Warehouse, fruit and veg is covered?Bakers maybe - I haven't tasted anything amazing from any of the bakers, cheap or expensive (although I'm partial to the bread in the Turkish shop opposite the Bishop) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8575-what-does-east-dulwich-lack/#findComment-261751 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Bike shop seems to be doing really well. They are trying to get permission to move into the old loo block on Peckham Rye because they need more space.

EmmaG Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Yep, I'm with you on the Greggs. Also, we could do with a Carphone Warehouse and a Primark and a TK Maxx. A Waitrose please. Er, what else ... I'd like a full Marks and Spencer too.

PeckhamRose Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I second a good B&B. A simple 3 or 4 bedroomed B&B, not a fancy over expensive boutique hotel nonsense, but a good simple B&B. Perhaps if Foxtons were to close down that would be a nice place to have it!And if everything we all ever needed was in ED we'd have no need to go around the rest of London. London's fab to explore!OK then so how about a river?

GregI Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 A repertory cinema- or something like the shortwave in Bermondsey square would be fantasticp.s. is there a cobbler on Lordship Lane (no smart comments suggesting the east dulwich deli allowed) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8575-what-does-east-dulwich-lack/#findComment-261784 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muley Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 A helipad, obviously. A stall selling freshly made felafel. And a Mr Ben-type costume shop to try on outfits and have adventures.In the meantime, I'm with Sean on the Turkish bread (try it with bacon and chilli pickle for the ultimate in fusion cuisine!)

thebestnameshavegone Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 An iMax. A guitar store. A Slug and Lettuce.

Jeremy Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 A nice B&B would be a good one - but maybe it would be hard to make it work with reasonable rates, given local house prices.An indie cinema would be awesome. One which sells warm toffee popcorn, fresh smoothies, and cakes. And beer.A record shop comes up time and time again, but much as it pains me to admit it, the local record shop we remember from our youths probably isn't a viable business these days - unless you combine it with games, electronics, DVDs, etc. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8575-what-does-east-dulwich-lack/#findComment-261797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeckhamRose Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 A motorcycle shop.And a bigger motorcycle parking bay than the small one on North Cross Road which often gets full.
