with so many stores along Lordship Lane / Grove Vale, do you have a favorite, and why?


Recommended Posts

There lots of stores along Lordship Lane and Grove Vale. We are always encourage to support our local high street, so wanted to know if you have a favorite store along these two streets?


You might get excellant / personal customer service "Good morning Mr smith..." or the prices may be really competitive? it might be, because the store offer a personal touch, or security do not follow your every move?


start your responses with the name of the store, and your reasons why.

Recently discovered the delicious challah bread in the deli near Chenor's bookshop by the Goose Green bus stop. Can't think of its name. Has a lovely fruit and veg display outside and is several cuts above a 'corner shop'. Stays open late. Nice staff too.
Love the paint shop- Colour makes people happy, on the Vale because the man is so friendly. On lordship lane though I love all the pretty places with fancy/ smart bits for homes, but Farmers comes out as my favourite as it's an Aladin's cave of stuff you never knew you needed until you saw it.

What we call the Med shop what KestonKid mentioned, sweet lemons and opens late and courteous staff and St Christophers for serendipitous forays and books of course a good atmosphere, AJ Farmer and Lloyds on NCR and card shop near Toast. You would think I would know the names of these shops by now.

These are regular haunts and stand out shops for me which I/we would severely

miss.

Roulier White - lovely staff ,always helpful .Not patronising - I'm very shabby ,not your ED demographic at all .


And they went to great lengths to help my son ( also non ED demographic ) choose two beautiful perfumes for his Christmas present to me . I love them . And I'm fussy .

Farmers and Greetings are our favourites. Helium ballons and anything you can possibly need.


Love shops like that - and the people there are so lovely.


Could do with losing FatFace who were "too busy" to help me or the awful expensive smelly candle/ incense shop (name evades me) who distressed my daughter for accusing her of stealing - when she wsa just looking. Nice. Making little kids cry - maybe best to talk to their grown ups first.

    • I would love something like this..I remember the one where Gails is now..It had some bric a brac furniture and 2nd hand clothes, I don't remeber the Oyster bar. The issue with the one on Zenoria St-And I speak as a long time habitué of Portobello, Kensington Market, Alfies,Spitalfields,Covent Garden (back when it had a decent vintage market on Mondays in the 80's and Early 90's) ..Was that a lot of the stuff they sold looked a bit meh..like a bad car boot fair. I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff. I think the secret is in having a good mix of stalls selling well curated pieces at decent prices...It would also be good to have a few tables and rails available to rent for one-off sellers (car boot style) by application. When I lived in Notting Hill I used to do Portobello under the flyover a couple of times a year and made really decent money because people tended to go there on sundays for the Casual stallholders rather the same dealers selling the same stuff.
