Due to this topic being excessively long, a new 2024 "New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham" has been opened here. Please continue the discussion there.

Those ones in Peckham have been weird and crap for as long as I can remember. Although I do remember being in them a lot as a kid, so maybe they had some useful stalls.


The E&C one is like a timewarp back to the 80s. All very odd. But there is some tasty food to be had.

I quite like the tat but not going to pay ?30-40 for an old OXO tin if you get my drift.

Even if that's what they go for.


I do not consider a Dog in a Bun as Street food. Perhaps it's not meant to be.


I suppose if you are out for the day/few hours with the kids then it might suffice.

But if you live 300 yards away and walk through there 4-6 times on a Sat. One is hardly

likely stop of and buy anything when you can eat at home.


I buy Tea from the Tiger Tea tea man but he is not there very often.

Other than that I have no bicycle to repair. Think that guy does a good service.


Miss the Photographer guy that used to be outside Clippers.

Used to stop and have a chat. Knowledgeable guy.

The photographer was a good bloke. He's moved to the Isle of Wight but I think he does Northcote Rd market on Saturdays if you fancy hopping on the 37.

Aww I remember those "stay on topic" days. I was often drifting off into my own world straying into the realms of posh prams and daffodils. It seems I'm often the one clutching at straws using the stay on topic line myself when I'm back into a corner or made to feel guilty for occasionally talking about issues that concern me (street food, class, iceland). The term street food is just a hyped up London media-type bubble phrase thrown into the mix to make shit food sound cool. Reminds me of the Harry Enfield 'I saw you coming' clip.

Sadly not. He upped sticks and moved back to Australia a while back. He sold his stand to lovely lady who was a fan and who keeps The Dog father Diner going to this day with many of Coopers original recipes.

Down on Rye Lane:


K&S Arcade next to Khans, soon to be renamed Holdron's Arcade, is being populated with new businesses such as YAM Records (vintage and new release), Nest (clothing), Love (african textiles), Bussey Exchange (shopfront for the artists and makers in the Bussey), and Peckham Vision where you can go to find out what's in store for the redevelopment of the area e.g. the station area, the multi-story & Morrison's carparks, plus the idea for the Green Line walkway - it's a great chance to get involved and have some say in the future shape of the area.


Downstairs in the Bussey Basement is a bar, Bhan Bhan Thai street food, and vinyl sales.


About 1/2 way back down the side of the Bussey where the carpark opens up, there's Taste of Christmas - bar with food. Early days, they are using this time before Christmas to see what works, what doesn't. It's also got an events space.


The transformation of the Discount Decorating premises into a pub of the Antic persuasion is underway.

    • William, a farmer, farming with both his parents who are in their 80s, summed up the nonsensical approach the government is taking on farmers on Question Time tonight when he said: "At the point at which inheritance tax becomes due you aren't in a position to pay it without selling an income bearing asset which then destabilises the very entity you have built up to create a profit from". He summed it up beautifully when he closed: "If this policy were to persist it will materially and existentially destabilise our [the county's] farming business " The biggest clap of the programme came from the ex-NFU president who accused the government panelist: "Why aren't you going after the wealthy investors, the private equity businesses that are buying up land, planting trees, offsetting their green conscience. You've done nothing to them. They're the ones driving up land prices. These farmers do not want to sell their asset....they want to invest in it and this is going to stifle investment. Who is going to want to invest in new buildings as that is going to drive up the value of the estate." "You're going after the wrong people". It's amazing that the government have been daft enough to pick a fight with farmers - Alastair Campbell commented that he did react with shock when it was announced in the budget as, he said, you don't start a fight with farmers.
