Hi Tarot, Peckham is really not far to go for a Superdrug or Sainsbury's DKH has quite a large stock of toiletry type products. I like Sea Cow for fish and chips. And there's a toilet in Cafe Nero- I know only one but it's better than none.


I like the independent cinema idea but then again I don't mind going to Brixton and I really love The Ritzy. I think just more cozy type restaurants/bars that allow for a less in your face kind of atmosphere (not sure how to explain this better!) but then again that wouldn't cater for the families around here.


Also some cheaper places to eat and some kind of noodle/Vietnamese style restaurant would be amazing (for me!) and a Natwest (sick of the ridiculous queues in Peckham)

That sounds good, Noodle bar, and a cinema.

Most cimemas are quite small these days, one could be fitted in somewhere.

I heard a rumour they may have one at Crystal Palace, but I think that plan has been shelved now.

Things are changing in this borough, it used to be a sleepy little place once.

But I do think it will rival places like Camden, and markets like Greenwich.

Given time and new bussiness,s springing up.

Sometimes I wonder whether you do think, Tarot.


"That plan" has most definitely not "been shelved now", I can assure you.

Isn't that doubling up? I mean, it's having two places in ED where you can get your pet beaver stuffed...

Get a grip people - amongst all the unfeasible toss mentioned on here , a Cinema ?


you seem to think you are living in some kind of twisted Richard Curtis stytlised Urban Utopia, with Hugh Grant as a next door neighbour & That tiresome Gryff Rhys Jones sockpuppet as as stall holder on the NCR.


Its a scruffy South London Borough, surrounded by some of the worst poverty and depravation in Europe, not Notting Hill or Aldeburgh, however you view it.


Pfft

If would want to brave the " locals "***, then there are jewellers & a myriad of shops on the Rye lane that would be more than happy to change Your batteries



*** Now commonly heard ED spoken shorthand for the non white working classes.Not sneering racist though. Definately not.Us Guardian readers positively embrace diversity. Oh yes.

    • My bike (a ELOPS 120 step over classic from Decathlon) was stolen from outside The Belham this afternoon. I locked it up while I collected my kids, then the street was so busy that I left it there while I walked them home. Did a few other things at home, came back about 5.30pm and it was gone. Sharing just in case anyone sees it or finds it anywhere - it’s a few years old and the chain is a bit rusty/makes a clicking sound so maybe there’s a slight chance someone would dump it! Really annoying and just a reminder to be really careful with bikes. The picture shows the bike model from the Decathlon website.
    • Thanks, I didn't know that.  People are even more stupid than I thought then, if they are willing to wait hours in A&E for an ingrown toenail. I presume they don't get put at the front of the queue. Why isn't the 111 service more widely advertised? That puts you in touch with a doctor, who will advise on the phone or visit, and if necessary  you will be advised to go to A&E or they will arrange an ambulance to take you.
    • It hasn't devolved. It's in exactly the same state it was when it started.
    • A&E isn't allowed to turn people away at the triage stage, even people with hiccups and ingrown toenails... the kinds of ailments a GP might be able to advise against seeking emergency care for. https://www.england.nhs.uk/2025/12/aes-under-siege-from-hiccups-and-ingrowing-toenails/
