Dali, don't worry, I didn't know what a Pop-up Shop was until about 8 months ago. That's when I bought a cardigan and jumper in the once Threshers wine shop on Lordship Lane. Basically I think it's somewhere someone can sell their goods for a few weeks/months.


Seems like this shop has gone to waste on Lordship Lane. Must be the ?39k!

Dali, let's face facts.


If you don't have the wits to find out who lets these business premises (still under administration) then what hope do you have for running a successful business. It's a bit like the tattoo parlour/cinema threads on here.


Time wasters

I seem to remember that someone on this forum mentioned that this shop had some sort of restrictive covenant that it could only be an off-licence, or was it that the freeholder required this? Maybe also that they required the lessee to live above. I can't find this thread now though
the freeholder is or was a very elderly guy who lives miles away and who still insists on it being an offie and, what is more, with the manager living above. that is the very seriously glue like sticking point. many have been interested including guy sparkes the organic butcher who has the van on north cross road. little hope of this lovely piece of lordship retail space being occupied in the near future

One of the freeholders is a friend of my wife's parents. I'll see what I can find out, but I'm not sure its as simple as this.

Unless you are Foxtons on LL. There's hardly anyone in that place whenever I walk past. There's another retail space that's crying out to be turned into a productive shop, restaurant, or... well... anything really. Anything except an estate agents.

Back to Threshers. It doesn't seem to have separate access to the flat without going through the shop, so it could only be let to someone wanting to run the shop and live above it. Alternatively the shop could be made narrower and a separate access made onto the street but this will be expensive and it doesn't seem as if the current owner is likely to have this done.

    • But Thatcher is dead. Nobody since has brought the utilities back under public ownership (if that's the right term). So there are many people who could be blamed. Meanwhile the shareholders get richer and everyone else gets increasing bills and a poorer service. Plus as said above, a massive waste of a limited resource like water. Not to mention the polluted rivers and seas. At least the privatisation of the railways is being reversed. Hopefully water may be on the list somewhere.
    • That's really helpful. Do the Community Councils still exist? It sounds to me that whoever the contact is on the council who has sorted out the North Cross Road notice board and put the new list of councillors in it must at least have access to the key for that one? Unless it was one of the unlocked ones. And of course if somebody knows where the keys are, they may have no idea that people are looking for them or that this forum thread exists. Which are the notice boards which are not locked?  The very helpful locksmith near the station (?Callows?)  might be able to provide keys for them, or if not, new locks, in return for some local publicity? In fact, they may be able to advise in general, rather than keep trying unresponsive people at the council. But then of course there is still the question of who is going to take responsibility for putting appropriate East Dulwich community information into them and updating it as necessary.
    • Our residents' association used to have keys many moons ago, but when locks were changed, we tried everyone (including ward councillors) to get keys to no avail. A couple of boards are not locked. The Community Councils originally paid for all the notice boards in Dulwich. May have come under the Cleaner Greener budget.
    • Blame Margaret Thatcher - she started the privatization of public utilities.
