Callie Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yes it's a shame they are closing. They are online for delivering to some SE15 postcodes now so hopefully won't be long till SE22 ones are on their list. There's still the one on Rye Lane for occasional stock up.

robbin Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I won't miss Iceland in the slightest. My freezer is already full of crap I never get round to eating before having to chuck it away and I got over black forest gateau and tiramisu in about 1985.If it's M&S, fine (although I'd rather have a larger version of the ED Deli back). If not, I hope whoever moves in is not an estate agent, a betting shop or a pound shop chain.Really don't give a monkeys about whether there are flats or offices above it - either way it will clearly be an improvement on what is there now, I think.

Nigello Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I'll miss it too - for its sensible prices, decent quality and its cheery (generally) staff. The one in Peckham isn't far away: I can't see myself using an M and S or Waitrose (the ED equivalent of a trigger-word).

Otta Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Pound shops do see some "tat", but they also sell a lot of brand name stuff for a quid, it's great.But many would rather pay three times as much for the same item because they couldn't lower themselves to go in a pound shop. Let them waste their money.

Jah Lush Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I shall miss Iceland and all its bargains and the friendly staff too. When you're short of a few bob and you need to stock up on essentials Iceland has always been a good place to go to where your pounds can stretch that bit further. Not everyone in East Dulwich is loaded and I'm sure I'm not the only one who shall miss the convenience of it being there on Lordship Lane.

DulwichFox Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It's the suggestion that Iceland is only there for 'poor' people is the very reason it has been stigmatized by some who have suggested it is an eyesore. I do not use Iceland primarily to save money. I use Iceland when it is convenient, often just popping in when out and about on Lordship Lane. The staff there are indeed friendly and helpful with a more personal touch. I cannot see any replacement being able to give that personal touch and I will be sad to see it go.

Alan Medic Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I will miss Iceland too. I dislke shopping but the great thing about there is you can get in and out quickly and get whatever basics you need. I will especially miss their spicy bean burgers. As for it being an eyesore, I do think it's shop branding (if that's what it's called) doesn't look great.Something about the colour.I've also found the staff to be particularly friendly, though on my last visit I was shortchanged by a checkout lady who I'd never seen before. I always pay with cash and she somehow registered ?25 on the till instead of the ?30 I gave her. There was no arguement once I and the people next in the queue pointed this out. Still, it made me wonder.I don't consider myself 'poor' as I always eat and drink, but it is better value to me than the Coop down the street which seems very expensive on the few visits I've had there.

Went to bed one night living in their perfect fashioned world and next morning, it all changed.HELP Iceland is always mentioned but it was there long before many people moved in when not being able to afford elsewhere. Whilst it is welcome for the area to improve do not ignore the requirements of others. Rather like the old days of moving to a country village because it was cute and then doing all in ones power to make it over to to where they came from. People make an area not prissy shops.

Mustard Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 They do very reasonably priced frozen spinach, which I cannot find in Sainsburys and other places It's very useful in cooking, for lots of recipes. Their fish fingers, butter, milk and cheese are a bargain.
