The old fish and chip shop 'The Codfather' is being turned into a posh fish and chip (and more) shop.


Bubble and Squeak, the old cafe, will either become an arts and craft store, a kids clothes shop or a nail bar. Or another Morleys, maybe a Tesco express.


What would people like to see there?


No Waitrose nonsense please.

That chippy (and more) needs to be exceptional given the amount of time it's taking.


Nothing, other than the bike shop maybe, has really thrived on that strip since 'Hannah's' which was a great, unpretentious place.


Let's be honest, it is SE22 but it's not really East Dulwich is it?


Even with the Zandra Rhodes bollards.


How about a 'Gregg's'?

PBoy: Nope. Not mixed up.


The OP on that thread was asking about pubs in Nunhead / ED / Peckham Rye.


Pretty sure it's somewhere in one of those after 15 years of living around here.



Jeremy: I bet when they put their bins out the back they're in SE15.


I know it's SE22 but if anyone's thinking of opening a business there, I wouldn't look at Lordship Lane for inspiration. The artists' supplies place and the kids' clothes shop both folded pretty quickly and I can't see the overhauled Gold Lee breaking the cycle after the posts about it on here.


It's difficult to know what would work there, especially as the leases are probably close to Lordship Lane levels because of the post-code but without anything like the footfall.


I've taken to going along the back streets to Goose Green rather than have to look into the cold, dead eyes of the owners of the Gold Lee, nail bar and barbers when they realise I'm just passing, not spending.


What about a fish pedicure place?

I don't recall the kids' clothes shop, which probably proves your point, but IIRC the "artists' supplies place" was not so much that as a rather downmarket craft supplies shop (the sort of craft where somebody else produces the stencils, stamps, stickers or whatever, and you just use them, rather than actually creating much yourself).


I may be wrong, as I only went in a couple of times, and once was their closing down sale (didn't buy anything) but that's the general impression I got.

This could be just a rumour but i heard it was going to be a takeaway pizza place - poss called Papa John - is that a chain?


I was having a think about what kind of shop i would want seeing as i live on Solway Rd - however i can't think of anything i need that i can't get either in Peckham or Lordship lane

I think a japanese would be fantastic - brave, but if it were good people might go out of their way (or at least walk past places on LL) to get to something unique for the area. Which of course is what you need people to do with the limited footfall along there.


I do know that the building opposite that row of shops that I think used to be a taxi place and is now flats upstairs and empty commercial space below has had it's planning application for conversion to all flats turned down - it seems Southwark council isn't willing to give up on the parade on both sides remaining commercial.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      No and Wes Streeting is heading in this direction because he knows the NHS is broken and was never built to cope with the demands currently being placed on it. A paid-for approach in some shape or form, and massive reforms, is the only way the NHS can survive - neither of which the left or unions will be pleased about.

      Labour talks about, and hopefully will do something about, the determinants of poor health.  They're picked up the early Sunak policy on smoking and vapes.  Let's see how far they tackle obesity and inactivity. I'd rather the money was spent on these any other interventions eg mental health, social care and SEN, rather than seeing the NHS as income generating.

      Had to take a second look!

      I think it's connected with the totem pole renovation celebrations They have passed now, but the notice has been there since then (at least that's when I first saw it - I passed it on the 484 and also took a photo!)

      Labour was damned, no matter what it did, when it came to the budget. It loves go on about the black hole, but if Labour had had its way, we'd have been in lockdown for longer and the black hole would be even bigger.  Am I only the one who thinks it's time the NHS became revenue-generating? Not private, but charging small fees for GP appts, x-rays etc? People who don't turn up for GP and out-patient appointments should definitely be charged a cancellation fee. When I lived in Norway I got incredible medical treatment, including follow up appointments, drugs, x-rays, all for £200. I was more than happy to pay it and could afford to. For fairness, make it somehow means-tested.  I am sure there's a model in there somewhere that would be fair to everyone. It's time we stopped fetishising something that no longer works for patient or doctor.  As for major growth, it's a thing of the past, no matter where in the world you live, unless it's China. Or unless you want a Truss-style, totally de-regulated economy and love capitalism with a large C.
