Don't shop in Peckham? Why? Even if you are suggesting that Rye Lane's excellent value produce doesn't appeal, Bellenden Road now has a top quality butcher; the General Store selling provisons, deli goods and fresh fruit and veg; Andersons which stocks the best bread in London; and a great Payless for run-of-the-mill bits and bobs.


I rarely bother shopping in ED anymore tbh. It's your own prejudices and leaps of judgement that are in error here.

And that's before you consider Persepolis and Wing-Tai for ingredients that you just can't find on Lordship Lane (or at least not for a reasonable price) and then hopping to our other nearby neighbourhead, Nunhead, for fish at Sopers, coffee and provisions at Bambuni, and another excellent old-school greengrocer.

But not too far outside the safety of the original East Dulwich Parish boundary.

I did. You said:


"Organic meats, fish, veg and home comforts in a safe environment by day in East Dulwich"


Implying that a) Peckham isn't safe and b) this disparate group of people you've conveniently lumped together don't shop there.

Both nonsense from the busy shops I see every week.

You must be paranoid. I implied nothing of the sort. East dulwich people shop in ED as is to be expected from the place they chose to buy a home - but more and more of them seem to head to peckham for their nightlife.

It would be amazing if M&S were to come back to Rye Lane. They didn't manage to get their planning application through on Lordship Lane, so maybe they should try Rye Lane instead! I can but dream...

Actually we regularly buy our lamb from United Meats, which is directly opposite Peckham Library. We buy lamb only because of animal welfare reasons but we certainly don't have a problem purchasing meat on the grounds of health or hygiene reasons. Similarly we would be unlikely to buy any meat other than lamb from a supermarket for the same reasons.

I know. I reckon some people think that wanting businesses not to dump litter on the streets is considered "gentrification" too.

I'd say there are individual signs of gentrification - but

you need a number of individual signs before a process can

be said to be present.


I still seem to be the only person who wants more coffee shops :)

So, not on Rye Lane then.

I get my goat on Rye Lane, for some weird reason William Rose and the butcher by the Plough don't sell it.


I buck the trend mentioned earlier, live in ED but shop mostly in Rye Lane for grocery/household stuff. Better density of choice on Rye Lane.

Near as dammit, man. Don't be a pedant. And I've used Hartes in the past too for offal.

They are appealing that decision and its going to a formal hearing so they are fighting quite tenaciously for the Lordship Lane location still.

Thanks LondonMix. I really think Rye Lane would be a much better place for M&S personally! But I guess hell will freeze over before M&S would come to Rye Lane. Does anyone think there is any chance of that at all?

Ironically I guess if M&S food, Starbucks etc. opened in Rye Lane

they'd probably be packed out, unlike Curry's and WHSmith who

struggled.


But still slightly to early in the process although I reckon a

chain coffee shop (I know that's not popular with some) within

the year - maybe on the south end.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.

      Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
