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


Recommended Posts

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 .

    • Andy is an absolute star. Have used him for years and he’s become a hugely trusted and valued friend as well as handyman. Always willing to go the extra mile and doesn’t cut corners, but great on pricing. Can’t recommend enough.
    • Surely you are still covered under these circumstances even if you don't have the physical licence? I can't believe you would be prevented from driving? That would be a ridiculous system. I don't recall any delays   when mine was renewed. Why would their medical department be involved if you have no medical issues? Could someone have made some admin mistake somewhere along the line?
    • Does anyone have the same problem.  I am 79 and have sent my licence renewal form to the DVLA on the 21st October 20 which they have received. I have just received a letter from them them dated 22 December 2025 today saying my licence is with their Drivers Medal Department and will be processed as soon as possible. This follows my telephone call to them after three weeks  from the October date as I had not received my licence back as per their time frame. I also followed this up mid December after finally getting through but did not get any confirmation as to what the situation was. Is this normal practice? On the 7 January 2026 I will be unable to drive as my licence has not been sent back. I have no medical issues and meet all the requirements with no problem as per previous renewals in fact nothing has changed health wise.Their the letter states if they need any more details from me, they will contact me directly. Why has it taken 2 and a half months get get this far? Is this some sort of ploy to get older drivers to finally give up their driving by making life difficult as possible.  Has anyone else experienced this. Read Medical not Medal.
    • You're being a little disingenuous here. It is simply not true that "the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum" because: -> the area the development is in isn't 2/3 storeys maximum today - as evidenced by the school on the lot adjoining the development to the south, as well as the similarly-sized buildings to the north and east.  -> the SPG doesn't preclude this type of development anyway. This "genie in a bottle" stuff is desperate barrel-scraping. Now you're raising the spectre of a 9 storey building on the Gibbs & Dandy site (the chance would be a fine thing) but also arguing Southwark is too slow to approve things and opposed to development more than 2-3 storeys!
