Do you mean the small charity shop on Lordship Lane just before you get to the roundabout? Near the pharmacist? Can't remember what it's called. The Mind Shop is the one on the corner after you have crossed the road to go to the station, and I'm pretty sure the jeweller/watch repairer wasn't there - it was actually on Lordship Lane, at the roundabout end though. Crikey, I had forgotten about the video shop. The stationers was a strange place, but they sold art stuff as well which was sometimes useful. Then some time later there was that large place - ED Deli? - next to the EDT, which had very yummy Florentines, but seemed to go into a gradual decline until it eventually closed. If it had opened a bit later it might have survived, but probably gentrification wasn't sufficiently advanced at that point. Platform 1 was for a series of pop up restaurants, wasn't it? Or at least, a restaurant with a series of pop up chefs. I don't recall it ever being a cocktail bar? And they were originally going to call it a very rude name ( which sadly I can't remember, but I think it may have been Pussy Liquor - I don't think they were cat owners) and there was a whole thread on here where various people pointed out that it wasn't a very appropriate name, so they changed it 🤣🤣🤣 I think someone must have thought it was hilarious because I think Meat Liquor had just opened down the road ... For a short time there was a very good South Indian vegetarian restaurant, but hardly anybody went to it, and sadly it closed. Again, it might have survived now, it was probably a bit too early in the gentrification process. -
I don't know any of these people or many places but it is good reading x -
When was that? I don't remember that place at all! The double fronted place, I mean. Sorry to hear about Dave. Kebab and Stab! The underbelly of East Dulwich in the back room in the early hours! (Once you got past the guy on the door). Don't remember punch ups in The Palmerston, just trouble in The Uplands Tavern (now The Actress). And whatever happened to the Moulin? Every so often someone on here says the place is going to reopen as something or other, but it never does. Black Cherry lasted longer than the Draft House (?) which replaced it, if memory serves. I agree it wasn't particularly memorable, but it did decent cocktails, and I think it had games (because I have a vague memory of knocking a newly bought cocktail over whilst playing one of the games. I think that might have been on the day of the cocktail crawl 😄) It was an odd space because it was on two levels, with the back part up a couple of stairs, until Franco Manca made it all one level.

I remembered what it was called - Black Cherry. It wasn't particularly memorable 😄 Oh my gosh, blast from the past indeed. Loved Springers. Such a lovely restaurant / bar. Was gutted when the owners moved on.
