The place was a dry cleaners previously and the same family ran it - so the shop has probably been run by the same family for two generations, albeit in various incarnations.


For what its worth I concur with Curmudgeoun.........

I know there has been a lot of discussion about this, but everytime I have gone in there he has gone out of his way to be helpful and is always friendly, regardless if I have gone to look at fabric or buttons (I should stress that I haven't bought masses there, sometimes can be 6 months between visits).

Each time I've been in the shop the owner has been extremely rude - he has a very sarcastic manner (and that was when I was actually trying to BUY something!!) So much so (or do I mean 'sew much sew'??) that I've stopped going in there which is a pity because in my line of work I could have given him a lot of business. I mentioned this to him the last time I ever went in there and suddenly his attitude changed a bit - too late! If anyone knows other stockists who sell the same sort of bold printed furnishing fabrics as him, let me know.

If you just want basic fabrics or haberdashery at much much cheaper prices, go to the little fabric shop on the east side of Peckham Rye station on Blenheim Grove SE15. It has totally different stock to the LL shop (no designer fabrics or funky prints unless by default) but is absolutley stuffed with fabrics, sequinned braids, cheap zips, buttons etc. The owners are friendly but laid back - don't go if you are in a rush, but it's a real experience and worth a visit.

      Nursery school

      By tomem · Posted

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
