Is Hope & Greenwood closing down?!

Recommended Posts

From what I understand Mark & Kitty sold the building, but the new landlord has kicked them out (I've heard stories of outrageous money grabbing rent increases from other landlords in the area recently).


The online shop, big store concessions and homeware sides must be doing ok, so an expensive shop in East Dulwich is probably an overhead too far. Note the TV show did not refer to the 'Hope & Greenwood' brand, being BBC.

Recently the TV show, previously book deals, so maybe the shops and their loyal clientele don't figure too much now.

Dear All,


Raising my head over the parapet here to put a few points straight but more importantly to say how overwhelmed we are by the messages, tweets, emails and especially the hugs both Miss H and I received on Friday on NCR.


Regrettably after 10 years we have closed the door on this branch; our last trading day was yesterday.


The building is owned by a landlord who wishes to make use of the retail premises for their own business and we wish them well in their venture.


All staff at NCR have been deployed to other areas within Hope and Greenwood. Scarlett the manager has gone to our Covent Garden branch where she will be a very active part of the team, I know how much she'll be missed by ED.


As mentioned Covent Garden is open, 7 days a week, if you're in the area please pop in and available online for mail order at www.hopeandgreenwood.co.uk.

Thank you all for your custom over the last 10 years, we?re proud of the fact Hope and Greenwood started in East Dulwich, the area I first moved into in 1982.


Best wishes


Mark Greenwood & Kitty Hope.

Well yes but at the time they were just a tiny retro sweetshop!


Obviously I'm delighted they've done so well!

    • William, a farmer, farming with both his parents who are in their 80s, summed up the nonsensical approach the government is taking on farmers on Question Time tonight when he said: "At the point at which inheritance tax becomes due you aren't in a position to pay it without selling an income bearing asset which then destabilises the very entity you have built up to create a profit from". He summed it up beautifully when he closed: "If this policy were to persist it will materially and existentially destabilise our [the county's] farming business " The biggest clap of the programme came from the ex-NFU president who accused the government panelist: "Why aren't you going after the wealthy investors, the private equity businesses that are buying up land, planting trees, offsetting their green conscience. You've done nothing to them. They're the ones driving up land prices. These farmers do not want to sell their asset....they want to invest in it and this is going to stifle investment. Who is going to want to invest in new buildings as that is going to drive up the value of the estate." "You're going after the wrong people". It's amazing that the government have been daft enough to pick a fight with farmers - Alastair Campbell commented that he did react with shock when it was announced in the budget as, he said, you don't start a fight with farmers.
