Hi I’m looking for a nursery for my son and wondered if anyone had any experience of Little Winners on Lacon Rd? We’re on the waitlist for EDG but it’s taking ages. -

Tony Slattery - I used to love his improv on Whose Line Is It Anyway?, not to mention HIGNFY and Just A Minute. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/jan/14/comedian-tony-slattery-dies-aged-65-after-heart-attack -
I agree re rents, but I don't think you can compare Croydon and Bromley with East Dulwich. Different kettles of fish. They both had, or possibly still have, big what used to be called "shopping centres" rather than just high streets. I think the one in Croydon is being "regenerated" or whatever the word is, isn't it? Also shopping habits are changing. Where once you would go to a physical shop to buy things, now many things are bought online, where apart from the convenience there is more choice, and you can easily compare prices and see reviews. Re Lidl in Dulwich, I knew a very well off person with a house on the Thames in London plus various other places including a flat in Venice (!), who shopped in Lidl because she said their parmesan was excellent 😀 My grandmother used to be very sniffy about M&S (in the days before it became known by its initials) 😀 I think it would be great to have a Lidl nearer than Camberwell or Peckham, but I can't see it happening, sadly. I'd also like to see a Waitrose, preferably replacing Sainsbury's, but that isn't going to happen either, also sadly.
