It looks like somewhere Starf*cks would snap up. The weekend influx of out-of-towners would step out from the train station, be presented with the eye full of said Starf*cks and think "ooohh, this place must be up and coming..." and then their gaze would land on the 350k box flats upstairs where they would nearly wet themsleves in excitement!!.....

perhaps it could be a newsagents, there's already 5 in a 200yd radius of there so one more won't matter.


On Cl****m High street there's a massive Sainsburys and a smaller one about 500 yds away, the smaller one was bought by Sainsburys a few years ago when it came up for sale (even though it's really close to the massive one) so that Tescos couldn't buy it. Now I notice there's a big spanking new Tescos opening up right in the middle of the two, I guess it's war between those two.


Now I'm not wanting to get into a debate about the similarities of the two areas but the point is that the big name supermarkets will do anything to make an impact on an area. That shop opposite the station would make a great supermarket express/local/kwike-mart as it would be seen by everyone who walks out the station. Fill it wall to wall with ready-meals, milk and posh looking wine and it can't fail.


My bet is on it being a mini-supermarket (but I haven't a clue how much floor space and storage there is)

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋

    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
