JamieT Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Lordship Lane is populated by fashionable restaurants and bars yet the road from the EDT to the station remains a mecca of dirty kebab shops and dodgy looking bookies. Any idea why and is this likely to change soon?Apologies if this topic has already been discussed Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3883-shopping-parade-near-east-dulwich-station/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladygooner Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 If you look closer you will see a couple of newsagents, a bakery, a shoe repairers and a dry cleaners. I don't recall any dirty kebab shops or bookies on that stretch?

JamieT Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 bit of an exaggeration but just very different style to lordship lane?

kford Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 It's slowly carving out a niche as antique alley, though. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3883-shopping-parade-near-east-dulwich-station/#findComment-122006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDOldie Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 isn't there a libary there? or am i making that up? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3883-shopping-parade-near-east-dulwich-station/#findComment-122007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Talk was of a new library and flats to go on the site of the Garden centre, I assume that's still going ahead. If they ever manage to get a coffee shop to lease the vacant space below the new flats opposite the station, that might give the ED Grove stretch a boost. It's been To Let for over a year now so don't hold your breath.

cdonline Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 There's nothing wrong with a little grott. From the slightly creepy school uniform shop, the bike-type shop that wants to hide itself away, the assembled beer guts at the tyre place and of course, the legendary owner of the hardware shop with the wavey hair. There's obviously a market for them.

SeanMacGabhann Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 * does a quick search for that sketch in The Simpsons where someone goes to Starbucks only for the shutter to slam down - the camera pulls back and you see shutters coming down in every Starbucks in the world. the a little LED appears on each shutter saying "Temporary shutdown - Commencing Phase 2" ** can't find it and figures the description will have to suffice * Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3883-shopping-parade-near-east-dulwich-station/#findComment-122085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Beth Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 There is a lovely little music shop on Grove Vale - very near the Bluebird Bakery. My partner is a musician and finds the owner really helpful and he will order in stuff for you as well. The library is very friendly and they have good kids activities as well. I kinda like this stretch of shops really - it's actually quite a diverse little mix of shops and you can get most of what you might need - newspapers, coffee, sheet music and instruments (and other musical bits and bobs), running shoes, antique furniture, a fry up, gardening gear, bread and yummy cakes.

Ladygooner Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I can also highly recommend Shauns DIY shop (used to be Terrys) they are very helpful and go out of their way to order things in that they don't stock.

TJS Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 all Grove Vale needs is a little attention, the shops are good and Shauns DIY has saved me so many times. The garden cnetre is very useful (shame it is going) and the new bakery is great. Dry cleaners and Shoe shop is great...also wich i have space for some of the furniture.
