Looks like the little shop on Grove Vale, on the same parade as Wolfe & Scott.

Is it the grocery shop that's never open opposite Blackbird bakery? Not sure, just those strange gates at right angles ring a bell?

[Domme_Jay]

I would say correctly identified.

[Ginster]

Yes looks like Nakfa which is open but at strange times. Wonder if something else (good!) will replace?!

[Vik]

Doubt it on that stretch unfortunately.

Their neighbouring unit, Rabbit On, has been empty for years. Unless someone can take on both units and make the space more useable, but unlikely.

Isn't that the place James Barber tried to stop getting a licence to sell alcohol/open late?

[Roundabout]

Sign above shop ?Freehold for Sale?:

There are great businessess in the area. Dulwich kitchen Design is doing so well.Colour is also doing wery well. Blackbird is always busy; just need someone with a little bit imagination.

what is that colour shop all about,is it a shop like all fired up, where you go and make things, i never see any one in there..................

[burty]

The colour shop is fab, it sells wonderful paint, there's often interesting art to look at and there is a spinning wheel of wonder onto which you can drip paint and create your own psychedelic masterpiece.

I think the right shop could do well along there. Something a bit specialized that people will walk up from the lane to.

On the subject of East Dulwich shops closing down, I was in Old Villa earlier today and they had their closing down sale on. Sad times.

Too bad about Old Villa - their stuff's really nice but it's very, very expensive.

Crikey, it seems like they've only just opened!

If you're going to sell extremely expensive stuff in a tough economic climate, you've got to be pretty sure there's a market for what you're selling. And their expenses must have been hugely higher than they were in Bellenden Road.

Maybe they should have set up on Abbeville Rd instead?

Interestingly the "shop" called "Rabbit On" appears never to have been a shop. I've watched people go in and out of the premises over the years and it seems fairly clear that it's simply a front for a building providing residential accommodation - a planning scam. Strange that Southwark haven't been able to work that one out!
