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.

    • A reminder that this is the post-festival litter I collected a week or so after the Council had signed off Gala's litter picking activity and reopened the park to the public. For clarity this was a result of just wandering around the stage, tent & toilet areas in the south of the site for about an hour. Not difficult to see, far from a focused, professional 'pick', and not comprehensive - there will have been loads more spread over the rest of the site, which is probably still there now. Apart from being unpleasant, there's a safety aspect here - kids & dogs picking up bits of glitter balls, shards of plastic cups, baggies containing white powder?? I collected a similar amount the previous year.  I contacted Charlie Simm (Events Team) for her reaction (cc'd Renata Hamvas & Victoria Mills, Peckham Rye councillors) and received no response. When VM thankfully followed up as to all why the litter picking wasn't satisfactory, and what actions were planned to remedy this, CS just escalated it as an official complaint. This complaint was dismissed a few months later with the comment that, apart from the cable ties, there was no proof that the litter had come from the festival. RH has remained silent throughout all my correspondence. I've considered doing a comprehensive litter survey before & after the event to categorically guage the impact of the festival, using metre squares and approved methodology, maybe even inviting relevant students as a project, but I feel whatever the results, they would just be ignored by the council - completely pointless.
    • Just a quick note that my son was mugged last night on Dunstans Road just after 6pm. Two youths on bikes with balaclavas stole his phone, headphones and driver’s license near the mansion block next to Dawson’s Heights. Please be vigilant when walking in the area after dark. 
    • They clearly don’t.  I would expect better from the council.  Rather dismally, it sounds like any complaints or requests just fall on deaf ears.
