Hello All,


A neighbour informed me today, following the plant store next to East dulwich closing, and speculation of a new libary being built, a Morrison was expected to be built onto the site, but recently pulled out. Another M&S store is expected to be built instead!!

If my memory serves me, i remember the plant store quite ample and there is also often a mobile coffee van outside of the entrance of the station, as well as nearby sainsburys. I am hoping it will be more like the new staore on Lordship road, I doubt it would sell clouthing, but what ever we get, its a good addittion to the area, even if it serves the commuters and ED of yummie mummys found in cafe Nero :)

As long as we still get our new Grove Vale library twice the size of the current sized Grove Vale library!


It would be an amazing location for any such M&S or similar business. I was surprised Morrisons back out but I guess as a macro level they haven't a c loo about East Dulwich.

Morrisons backed out because they decided to withdraw from all 'convenience' stores - they weren't very good at it - it had nothing to do with this specific location - most recent news suggests that they may go back into this market using their Safeway Brand (which they own) - probably not in good time for this particular site.

What is the basis or evidence (other than pure hearsay or wishful thinking) for the information/expectation that a new M&S will be opening when another one opened only a few months ago a couple of hundred yards away? Seems unlikely.


Now if that celebrated workers' co-operative Iceland could be persuaded to open there, certain local people would be delighted

Actually it was hearsay from builders working at the site. In regards to the distance from the new location and the new M&S on Lordship lane, streetmap estimates at 0.3 of a mile between the two.


Hate to disappoint, but Iceland has def left ED for the moment!!
