I guess the ones on Rye Lane are set to remain (for now?). It's my understanding that only the businesses in front of the station have been earmarked for clearance at this stage. I'm not sure what Peckham Vision's intentions are regarding the rest of Rye Lane.

Cleaning up the outside of the station will make a huge difference, as for the rest of the shops on Rye lane they will slowly change due to demand. Case in point, Ellies Bakehouse and Cafe Viva on Choumert Grove. These two businesses would not look out of place in East Dulwich but they are just off Rye Lane. Also on the corner of Peckham Rye station Im sure some of you have noticed that three units are undergoing building work. From my research this is set to be a bar or cafe bar by the same people who are responsible for Franks in the Summer. If these types of businesses prove to be sucessful, then more will come.


To those of you who dont see the need for all the nail salons and hairdressers, I have friends from all different walks of life with different spending power who specifically come to Peckham to get their hair done. The only thing they all have in common is Afro hair. They dont like Rye lane but they all say the haridressers are the best and offer value for money.

C'mon pexprincess - all but one of the hundred hairdressing salon's on Rye Lane and the side streets, are run by unqualified hairdressers. I don't mind hairdressers - as long as they are decent and kept in a clean satisfactory manner, and of course, don't discard their rubbish into the streets. Like I said before - wonders how they have bypassed Environmental Health checks.

Qualified are not, they have loyal customers who keep returning and keep their business going.


The matter of the mess they leave is a seperate issue that needs to be addressed by the council. Any business that leaves rubbish and a lot of it is food not just hair on Rye Lane has been an issue for years. Even if every business was spotless, that wouldnt change the face of Rye Lane. The businesses would still be the same as long as the same customers keep rolling in.

Pexprincess - where are these units and where have you heard that Franks will be taking them over? Interesting!

Pexprinces, it's the shop on Blenheim Grove that used to be Jean's Smart Fabrics - take a look here http://goo.gl/maps/VzxNt


IIUC, Hannah Barry is involved and it's going to be called the Peckham Refreshment Rooms (which was the original name of the now defunct Bun House, if anyone's interested).

This sounds great. Araucaria, who is Hannah Barry? Will the Peckham Refreshment Rooms be a permanent fixture or is it a pop-up concept?

I've actually seen a copy of the new menu online - it does sound great!

By the way, I walked past the hugest clump of hair this morning on the way to the train at Peckham Rye Station, and nearly got it tangled round my foot! :D Not nice. The council really needs to clamp down on those businesses that seemingly have no concern about littering the streets.

Thanks Nigello - unfortunately I didn't see which business it was from, and I didn't actually see anybody drop it - it was just floating down the street as I walked into the station!

Maybe a few of those hair shops can pack up and allow for a bit more retail diversity along Rye Lane now that the station is getting a makeover. I just do not understand how/why anyone would dump loose clumps of hair into the streets, or at the very least not ensure that any waste products were disposed off appropriately. Clearly a few bad businesses are ruining it for all the other hair extension shops.


Louisa.

I don't think people disapprove of the hair shops per se. But they do disapprove of the rubbish that many shops seem to regularly dump on the streets.

    • Hello Did anyone see an accident about 15 minutes ago at the junction of Goodrich and Friern Road. A black car driven by a lady ran in to the side of my car as I was coming up Friern Road- instead of pulling over she drove off without providing her insurance information. If anyone happened to see this or has her license plate details please pm me. Thanks

    • On what basis do you object to the economy spend numbers in the report and describe it as "extremely unlikely"? Is that objection based on data or is it vibes-based? Where does this estimate of "50-100 vehicles" come from? The objectors:supporters ratio doesn't speak volumes. Planning applications of this sort always receive objections from various curtain twitches and NIMBYs. It doesn't mean those objections are well-founded or sensible. The planning officers and councillors need to consider the issue objectively, not just count the letters. It's not a public vote. Saying the building is "out of character" is meaningless out of context. It's an unusual building on an unusual infill site. It's not supposed to be a model for future development across Dulwich as a whole.  We are in the middle of a housing crisis. London desperately needs more housing units. This is an opportunity to get a whole bunch of them on a small, unloved industrial site on top of a transit hub. Not building it because people like the Dulwich Society complains it's "visible" is crazy.
