Really though? From the top of the street the following properties are empty (pre CPZ)


The building previously part of the Maudsley trust (double fronted building onto Lship lane)

The old French caf?

The old Threshers

The building next to SMBS is a constant pop up at the moment but has been closed on and off for years

Dulwich Tandoori

Lush Designs



Might have missed some but off the top of my head those stand out.

The old French House is now Sylvesters.

Threshers finally looks like it's being renovated after years of being empty (following a cannabis farm getting busted in the flat above it)

The Building next to SMBS has a deliberate business model / offer as a space for rotating places I think.

Lush Designs is indeed empty at present

The Maudsley site isn't a retail unit.


In addition there have been a flurry of new openings.


Personally, I think LL is doing pretty well. Will be interesting to see what happen post brexit though.

Dulwich Tandoori isn't empty? Had a meal there last week.

Also just heard that Aneto is closing (by Goose Green) - my point on this is not that the 'Lane is in decline' - but more to flag that the increasing rates is generally pushing some businesses out and there is continual turnover.


Sylvesters appears to be some kind of bar / pizza place. No one seems to know what the old Threshers will be.

Think this may be more to do with poor management since they expanded into the bigger premises. Used to love going in there as it's on the doorstep but on recent visits experienced loud music which they refused to change or turn down, slow service etc and not replying to customers online so a large part of this is down to customers voting with their feet round here as there is so much choice rather than a general decline.

As far as I know this lovely lady will be relocating to another premises in Lordship Lane which is to be confirmed. If we don't support our independents then big companies will take over. I love Sogem's, always friendly and willing to help and advise at the drop of a hat. Please support local business!

      Such a shame the Odeon and bowling at Surrey Quays has gone

      By Rockets · Posted

      Went to book a film to find Surrey Quays Odeon is no more. Such a shame, I didn't realise everything was being  shut there. Used to love a bit of bowling at the Hollywood Bowl too. https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/rotherhithe/surrey-quays-odeon-cinema-confirms-august-closure-date/

      Nunhead Art Trail information

      By Sue · Posted

      Thanks for the link! I should have thought to add that. If you click on "artists" in the menu, there is information about the artists, but it's very difficult to relate it to the map when you can't print off the map (at least I haven't been able to, but I've only tried from my phone so far).

      Do you mean the small charity shop on Lordship Lane just before you get to the roundabout? Near the pharmacist? Can't remember what it's called. The Mind Shop is the one on the corner after  you have crossed  the road to go to the station, and I'm pretty sure the jeweller/watch repairer wasn't there - it was actually on Lordship Lane, at the roundabout end though. Crikey, I had forgotten about the video shop. The stationers was a strange place, but they sold art stuff as well which was sometimes useful. Then some time later there was that large place - ED Deli? - next to the EDT, which had very yummy Florentines, but seemed to go into a gradual decline until it eventually closed. If it had opened a bit later it might have survived, but probably gentrification wasn't sufficiently advanced at that point. Platform 1 was for a series of pop up restaurants, wasn't it? Or at least, a restaurant with a series of pop up chefs. I don't recall it ever being a cocktail bar? And they were originally going to call it a very rude name ( which sadly I can't remember,  but I think it may have been Pussy Liquor  - I don't think they were cat owners) and there was a whole thread on here where various people pointed out that it wasn't a very appropriate name, so they changed it 🤣🤣🤣 I think someone must have thought it was hilarious because I think Meat Liquor had just opened down the road ...  For a short time there was a very good South Indian vegetarian restaurant, but hardly anybody went to it, and sadly it closed. Again, it might have survived now, it was probably a bit too early in the gentrification process.
