116 Lordhip Lane


Recommended Posts

I phoned the council planning department on this as I too was intrigued and the lady said the layout of the proposed store looked very much like a supermarket...if this does go through it would have to be a big name I think as the site looks pretty huge.

We may just yet get a Waitrose or M&S!

In 2005 planning was granted to make the building into a gym type complex. In 2006 planning was applied to turn the ground floor and basement from light industrial into financial / retail units and to develop the upper stories into what sounds like 'luxury' flats (lots of glass, balconies etc). The applicant isn't listed and is represented by an agent.

You can see all details on the Southwark planning site.

Once local, organic, independently owned shop created, said movement could seek revenge against other London locales in the cruelest way possible....


....The creation of an unholy and faceless retails chain which would begin in ED and then callously invade areas such as Fulham, Putney, Clapham, Islington, Shepherd's bush, Hampstead, Cricklewood with the promise of stealing and sullying the 'souls' of such communities with replicated retail experiences, carbon-friendly business practices and fair-trade titillation, sparking uproar in local online discussion and news forums......

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
