Foxtons on Lordship Lane soon to become a Poundland Local

[teddyboy23]

Happy days

[SpringTime]

About ten years overdue. The LSL branch of Foxtons has never made any money.

[NewWave]

Foxtons are the pits.

Pure sharks and positively oily.

I do wish it would become a Waitrose though!

****Please note my last paragraph was a joke******

[Sephiroth]

This is lame trolling. Why is anyone taking it seriously?

[OutOfFocus]

Probably trolling but....

I have thought of it doubling as a co-working space. But would you want to cowork in an estato office

That location was the DSS originally? Tell me I'm wrong?

[Jenijenjen]

It was for a while in the 90s. Before that it was ?some kind of local advice centre? I never worked out what it did.

[se22]

It was a Woolworths originally. Locals were disappointed when it closed down.

When was it a Woolworths?

[hammerman]

There was a Woolworths along there years ago.

I've lived here for 30+ years and there was never a Woolworth's that I can recall. How many years ago are you talking about?

[Pugwash]

Woolworths were there in 1960s and had been for many years.

My family lived in Spurling Road and most Saturdays we would shop there. I think it may have opened up after the war.

Checks out, store 9003... Amazing how many there used to be.

I thought the headline was a comment on property prices, rather than retail tenancies....

Poundland Local indeed, like having Woolies back? Who said we're not going back to the 70s..?

[Jenijenjen]

Do you mean the 1870S?

[jazzer]

Think of all the additional footfall on Lordship lane as a result of Poundland arriving.

[TheCat]

Triple whammy for local house prices....

Rising mortgage rates nationally

Loss of over inflated Foxton asking prices

An influx of poundland clientelle to our beautiful 'lordship Lane village'

I mean how am I expected to push past all those tracksuits while I'm carrying a selection of cheeses from Mons (not to mention the quince paste).....

[Bic Basher]

It's only fair after the closure of Iceland a few years back that there's an affordable store in ED that means the less well off people who live here can get some cheaper products rather than having to go to Peckham or Camberwell.

At least it'll get footfall unlike the oversized estate agents which was one big ego fest.
