Roullier White, brilliant staff knowledgable and friendly...get all my perfumes from there.

Lilas for well priced beautiful jewellery and again fantastic friendly and knowledgable staff.

In fact my other half buys all my gifts from those two shops.

Also Moxons superb fish, lovely friendly helpful staff.

Agreed. We painted our whole house after a refurb with paint from here and I have never met anyone so passionate about..well.. paint! Spend some time there, get to know each other, and he'll make some great recommendations. As a bonus the paint names have some 'interesting' names... the front of our house is painted a green shade called 'Polka Music Mercifully Interrupted at Frequent Intervals by a German Disc Jockey.'


The painter initially thought we were taking the mick when we sent him for that one..

I love Chener's Books. It's scruffy, untidy, books are piled up all over the place, and the chap who runs it looks like he's stepped straight out of a Dicken's novel himself. Just how bookshops should be (in my opinion)

Yeh, Shaun's DIY are brilliant.


I've found all the (three?) DIY shops in East Dulwich helpful, but Shaun's went well beyond the call of duty to help last time I went in there.

Rye books is a great shop, but it isn't on Lordship Lane :)


I would have put a vote in for Postmark, which is also a great card shop and has a different range from Greetings, but that isn't on Lordship Lane either :)

Yes I like SMBS always have a nice chat with the guy behind the counter, they have really good selection of things for a small shop.

AND I too adore Cherner books they've actually recommended books to me that have ended up my favourites.

ooh a difficult choice...probably Cheners, just because they are independent, always have a great selection of books, and always happy to order one in...and haven't had a makeover (apart from removing the bucket when they repaired the leaking ceiling)!!

(also love Farmers, SMBS, Dulwich DIY, John Barnett shoes, Lush)

We are very fortunate to have some great shops and restaurants on Lordship Lane , with helpful friendly staff working in them , to name a few of my favourites , V7 the newspaper shop opposite where I work ,he always makes sure he has my cigarettes in stock . The Turkish delicatessen near Cheners is a great little shop selling many gorgeous smelling foods, Paine and Hunter very friendly opticians, Jaflong and Favourites both in my opinion selling great food and always with a smile . The little flower shop on frogley road has some amazing plants in there and always looks so bright and cheery. Oh and not forgetting Dulwich DIY an aladdins cave of everything you could possibly want or need as is Farmers .

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
