Can't see it opening in July.


When the kids from Heber interviewed the builders in December 2015, they were told the build was expected to take 44 weeks and should be finished in July 2016. Andrew Wicks of Southwark planning was also interviewed and said that with store fitting, they were expecting the new store to open before Christmas 2016.


M&S still aren't recruiting, though Dulwich is now listed on the M&S website as a new store opening.

Mick.. I've said this before. but when I moved here in 1980 from Peckham people would ask where have you moved to.


I would say Dulwich and they would reply.. No. You live in EAST Dulwich NOT Dulwich..


Now.. People say.. Do you live in EAST Dulwich ?


I just say.. I live in EAST Dulwich.. BUT I was Born in PECKHAM..

When I moved to East Dulwich people tried to tell me I had moved to Peckham. No shame in that now, it's all cool.


I think East Dulwich is no longer the poor relation of Dulwich, such that when people hear Dulwich, they maybe think of East Dulwich.... the popular part.


Or perhaps the stores are effectively merging the two areas into one. Let's face it no one has a Dulwich store anyway, there is no street... so LL is I guess Dulwich's main shopping area.

I think you are right-- they are marketing to the wider area and loads of Dulwich Village people hang out on LL. There isn;t the same price difference there used to be between the areas either when looking at equal sized properties so its much of a muchness now I suppose.

I've always thought that Dulwich was the whole area protected by the Dulwich College Estate rules and regulations as regards buildings and development. Unfortunately, East Dulwich is not protected by any such rules so there are carbuncles (you may call them extensions...) appearing all over the Victorian houses.

    • The year of Councillor Naima Ali's tenure as Southwark Mayor comes to a close on Saturday. Her energy and enthusiasm have made her a popular local figure and she has been dubbed the Hugging Mayor and sometimes the Dancing Mayor. She talked with Chris Haydon on PECKHAM PODCAST about her life journey, FGM and being proud to be British:  
    • It's started. And seeing it just now made me feel genuinely a bit flat and sad. 
    • I'd forgotten about that place.  It wasn't a market as such, it was just run by one  couple. They did have some quite interesting things. I still have a mirror I got from there, which had been  put inside an old painted  shuttered window frame from somewhere in India. Mumbai I think. There also used to be occasional indoor  markets in the church hall where the cinema now is, next to where the Irish shop used to be. But if memory serves they were usually either jumble sales (do they still exist?) or craft sales before Christmas. There have also been occasional indoor markets at the church hall in Dulwich Village and the church hall at the church in Barry Road up by the Plough. There never seemed to be many people buying things at them. But it does all depend on what is being sold, whether it appeals to the local demographic,  where the market is located and how it is publicised. And, obviously,  whether it is profitable for the traders.
    • How the hell did Mad maxxi do that given the state of the rest of us?
