We are sad to say we are leaving 😢


Before we go, we wanted to let you know how much we have enjoyed our time here. Thank you all for your support, kindness, lovely comments on this forum here and friendship over the past nearly 30 years. You are a special group of people and we will definitely miss you all.


This was a Main Post Office, privately owned rather than directly managed offering full range of services and will remain so. It will reopen on Monday 2nd July after being refurbished and will benefit from extended hours, offering Post Office services 7 days a week. Selected transactions will only be available core hours and these will be advertised on the Post Office website.


It was our decision to sell as the time was right for us. Please come and say hi when you see us as we?re not moving from the area.


Thank you

Nilesh, Anita & Raj

^^ what Cornelia said.


You are such a big part of our FHR community and we will really miss you! Thank you so much Nilesh, Anita and Raj for always being so kind and friendly. My kids call the P.O 'Raj's.' It won't be the same without you,


Best of luck to you all,


Lucy, Cody, Pea, CB and the twins xx

I hope Nilesh, Anita and Raj will read this. We are so sad to read this thread. You have been so kind and helpful, particularly keeping an eye out on our elderly relative and contacting us with your concerns about her. You are an amazing crew and we will miss you so much. Wishing you all the best whatever the future holds. K and A
Absolutely agreed that the previous incumbents were exemplary and deserve huge thanks for the service they have offered over (many) years - but let's hope that the new team will see them as a role model to follow - in terms of good and helpful service. It appears that the time of leaving was their choice, however sad they are to leave (and we are to lose them) - but the show must go on!

I really cannot add any more than what has already been said by every single other comment here. Just so incredibly rare to have such universal praise, love and respect without exception on here! How many shop owners would inspire a 4 yr old to bring back a holiday present for them before than their own grandparents?!!


Thank you and good luck Raj, Nilesh & Anita.

    • So here we go again, but with a proposal for a bigger and longer event. This despite the massive failings (again) last year with serious & long lasting damage to our park throughout the summer, lack of effective waste management, widespread public nuisance by the attendees, and of course the noise. Every year GALA are set conditions for their event licence, every year they fail to meet them, then every year they are granted a licence again - depressing. First impressions from the site plan - the proposed footprint has increased dramatically, sprawling further down & across our park (image attached with 2024 footprint in orange & 2025 extension in red). There  will be a music stage within 50m of our front room. The entrance area will be on a sports pitch. The trackway for heavy plant access will be across two sports fields. The entrance / exit for heavy plant will be opposite a school. The road at that point is regularly gridlocked due to parked & waiting cars. Increased trackway = increased damage to grass. I'm sure there's plenty more that is unacceptable... It's clear that we all need to comment on this consultation, but it's not clear how to actually add comments / participate. The email & consultation document both direct you to the GALA page on the council website - www.southwark.gov.uk/Gala2025 - but this only has details of the GALA PR sessions, not the official consultation. I've raised this with the council, I'll post if I get a response. I've also raised the issue that the council's Outdoor Event Policy states that "Applications for major events must be submitted a minimum of nine months prior to the event start date.", which would have been August 29th 2024 for this application. This is apparently necessary to give sufficient time for things like consultations...
    • I'm sorry to see another chain opening up in the form of Holland and Barratt a couple of doors up from SMBS.  That will be another unfair pressure on SMBS .  I really hope people continue to support SMBS and its relative shop The Cheese Block under huge pressure with the arrival of Mons and Bora.  These are two of the oldest surviving (30 years plus?) green grocers, deli and unusual ingredient food shops in Lordship Lane and made it an interesting high street long before the chains and  newbies moved in.  I would think Healthmatters is none too happy either 😕 Support your local independent store or Lordship Lane will get really dull 
    • Thank you so much for your lovely review, Laura! It’s amazing to hear about your progress – we love having you at the hub. See you soon! Gok 😊
    • Hello,  We have a desk space in our studio which is on Blackwater Street (just off Lordship Lane) SE22. It's a quiet space shared with another architect and a group of landscape designers. We are architects and on the first floor. There are a couple of meeting rooms available and a kitchen. Let me know if you'd like to arrange a viewing to hear more. For a fixed desk we would charge £300 / month + VAT. I've attached some photos but let me know if you'd like to arrange a visit.  Thanks,  Nimi
