[Joe]

Admin note - This is the yearly discussion thread for new shops coming to East Dulwich and nearby. You can find the links to the previous years below:

• 2024 edition
• 2023 and earlier edition

 

To start us off, there is a new Deli called Chili & Garlic opening up next to Gails on Zenoria St. 

Website: https://www.chilliandgarlic.co.uk/

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chilliandgarlicdeli?

There is a menu on the website and it appears to sell wraps, bowls and fruit juices.

The opening is not yet announced, but probably soon.

There is a new 'sauna and arts social club' opened up in Arch 842, next to Bronzewood Metal Works off Consort Road Sauna Social Club | Sauna and Arts | Peckham, London, UK

Also, probably not new, but new to me Banook Bagels | South London Bagel - Order Online

The new vits+kicks on Lordship Lane could be open next 2 to 4 wks

There seem to be a couple of vacant units on Grove Vale and Grove Vale Ceramics has just closed too - any news on what is coming?

[jazzer]

Perhaps the question to ask is why businesses are closing there, rather than "what's next?"

I'm sorry to hear that it has closed, but Grove Vale wouldn't immediately  spring to mind as the ideal location  for a shop (?gallery?)  solely selling ceramics.

Plus you had to go in and ask to find out the price of anything, which was a bit off-putting (well, it put me off asking again after my  first sharp intake of breath 🤣 )

Perhaps they overestimated the effect of gentrification?

I liked the shop but felt put off having to ask the price of things..I think it would do better in Dulwich Village.

It was'nt in a location I would immediately think of if wanting to spend £100 upwards on a decorative item for a shelf.

Grove Vale ceramics have taken a bigger unit off the walworth rd  amelia street se17 the empty shop  at Grove Vale I'm told is already taken

Pullens Yards - probably a better location for them, there are a number of crafts and artisan businesses there.

Yes, that’s a good area.

What is going between Myla and Davis & MAC AND MILLER on NX? It's been going on for ages

Love Dulwich  must be included.

Another lovely meal, freshly cooked. 

Use to always support other places on the lane but quite a few of them din’t reach even the basic mark of freshly cooked food. 

Guess will  see the likes of Megans closing - staff retention is zero & cooks change regularly. Hate chains, but that is personal.

Hopefully Jonnies will remain - since people who use them, have been using them for  years and generations.

@beansprout I'd be very happy to see the back of 'Megans on the lordship' or whatever its called The food is grim (nice on the menu the reality is awful) dreadful muzak and all round pretty dreadful.

I'd much rather see punters spending their money in places like Love Dulwich,Kanella,Johnnies and so on.

Holland & Barrett seem to be opening news shops in several places. They are opening a big shop on Clapham High Street, where the post office recently closed. Also on Oxford Street.  So a big expansion programme perhaps.

They already have one shop on Oxford Street. If memory serves it's at the Tottenham Court Road end.

Where is the new one going to be?

That name ('on the Lordship') really makes me cringe.

Jojo Maman Bebe is closing soon. A staff member said they don't know what will replace it, but it will be something falling under the planning category of food and drink.
