Once the ED garden centre, now? what?

[Alex K]

Apologies in advance if a duplication: Have searched "garden centre" and not seen this addressed -- the once-upon-a-time garden centre at East Dulwich station is now a property "to let" rather than a property "to knock down and re-develop". If this has been mentioned before, please point me to the thread; if it hasn't, well? what's going on?

SJ, thank you! I'm still puzzled by the TO LET sign -- have Morrisons withdrawn?

[nxjen]

I was puzzled too but looking at Taylor Wilcox website it appears the current building is to let only as a Christmas pop up. http://www.taylorwilcox.co.uk/current-instructions-1/

Londonart.co.uk moved in today on a temporary basis, but for 3 months at least it will be a Gallery showing the work of local talented artists, lots of events to come, watch this space.

I understand that the temporary pop -up shop is to cover the business rates until construction works start.

The new Grove Vale library will open Spring 2015.

Happy to hear the garden centre site will be used for the community. What is happening to the current library site?

[James Barber]

Hi monica,

My understanding is that circa summer 2015 the current Grove Vale library shop units will revert to their freeholder. They are rented by Southwark Council.

I'm hopeful the reduction in rent will enable the new grove vale library to be open more often.

Oops sorry - bit of a duplication here.

But to update from previous posts - the pop up shop is a co-operative are group http://www.londonart.co.uk

Opening Friday 20th December (welcome drinks start at 6pm).

Come along - all welcome
