Had a bit of a love/hate relationship with Shannons, wont go into that and it was a useful place. There is that one next to North Dulwich station, I've rarely used it. The one at Nunhead is great, but maybe more expensive than Shannons. Penge they spend too much time talking to the newbies rather than serving people who have lived in the area for decades. Just my opinion!

Very sad to hear this, agree with all the nice comments about Shannons and wish them well, would add always friendly and helpful service there. They will be missed.

I sometimes walk to the one in Croxted Road under the railway arch, good selection of plants tho they don't have the room for many pots, sundries, compost etc

Which is the one in Penge, Malumbu?


Is that the very small one with the tea shop which has twee gifts and advertises in SE22 mag?


I went there once. They did have good plants, as in well selected, but not very many of them if memory serves.

Thank you for posting this. I am so sorry they are closing and it’s good to see the reasons why. I will really miss it. I don’t find the other local garden shops are that great, but maybe I will need to make a journey a bit further out to a better one. The one in Wandsworth, Neals Nurseries, is excellent.

Very sad about this.

Lovely staff good quality stock (the plants I buy there always thrive unlike those I've purchased from the likes of Homebase and Columbia road), fairly priced.

The garden centre in West Dulwich is frankly a bit rubbish, very small selection and overpriced,

(I mean the one thats the side of Dulwich College behind the parade of shops).

I always look forward to going there to get my stock of plants for my summer pots.

They will be missed especially at Christmas when I love getting decorative treats there.

      Chern Thai Restaurant Reopened On Grove Vale

      By Zak · Posted

      They’ve overhauled the kitchen and I gather they have a new chef. Also, a new menu is on the way.   What with Norbert’s arriving soon on Melbourne Grove, there’s going to be an Interesting offer down there.

      I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills.

      Looking for a GP with experience of autoimmune rheumatic diseases

      By Soylent Green · Posted

      GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).

      How can one have the confidence that it is not the barista cutting your hair and the barber making your coffee?
