I love this shop.  I regard it as a joyful expression of colour and freshness on Lordship Lane.  Like an art installation.   I probably go there once a month, and if over a year it turns out that I spend £25 more than I would have done at Sainsbury's or M&S (and I've no idea if that's the case), then I'm more than happy to have paid for the convenience and the personality of the place.

Agreed. And you will have saved the planet from several kilos of disposable plastic wrapping too!

I miss the greengrocers that was in Northcross Road.   Loved going there and then to the pet shop and would then stop off for sustenance in one of the many cafes, most of which are no longer there.

Many cafes? I only remember two in North Cross Road at any one time when the greengrocers was there? The Blue Mountain was one of them, then Rose opened one at the back of her shop.

There was a bar, The Drum, are you thinking of that?

Yes, was including the Drum and the Blue Brick and it’s previous incarnation round the corner in Fellbrigg Road.  I also liked the bar Inside 72 on LL that used to be the Cheltenham & Gloucester building Society. They had really good burgers and great music.   Loved Blue Mountain in its first incarnation with the different rooms and booths.

Yes, Inside 72 was great, so were all the little rooms in the Blue Mountain.

The Drum used to be open after hours, you had to get in round the back. But crikey it was smoky 🤣

    • People living on main roads like South Circular,  Lordship Lane, Croxted Road, Grove Vale etc  have been treated like rubbish all alibg. I hope the Grove Tovern is developed into a green space or a block of flats. Let's hope montana trump supporters will perish as soon as
    • Hi!  Our just 4 year old is currently taking swimming classes with Cindy’s swim school and we’re finding them a bit too easy and hands on. On holiday recently she swam (albeit without much style!) at least 8m on her own.     We’re thinking of signing her up to the improvers lessons at JAGS.  I believe there are up to 10 children per class and two teachers in the water.  Has anyone had any experience of these classes? Do they encourage independent swimming? thank you 🙏 
    • Odd post.  London continues to be full of green and public space.  Labour kicked off the creation of a massive new park with revived and cleaner waterways in East London. Perhaps a mountain hut in Montana off grid may be more suitable for your needs, running water, timber, deer, a lifetimes supply of shotgun pellets, and hunting knives will do you fine.
