According to the newsagents a couple of doors down, the old florists on EDG isn't going to be a shop but a kind of showroom to demonstrate shop fittings - shame.


As for the toyshop idea I think it would do extremely well - sure business is highly seasonal but there's enough money in the area nowadays to thrive.


In my fantasy life I'd often considered opening a top shop on LL based on the one of Beckenham High Street. Surely you've all got nostalgic memories of slightly dusty toyshops stacked full to the ceilings with toys and games and friendly chap behind the glass topped counter full of model trains...


Anyway money aside my other half said I'm too miserable to own a toyshop and it would probably go bust within tweleve months.

Thanks for the encouragement!


I know the toy shop on Beckenham High Sreet - one of the few toy shops with things children actually want to buy. It might go bust with the rent at 30K a year but given that Green and Black are paying 35k for the restaurant half of their emporium - who knows? What to join me in my venture?

Ooh I remember the toy shop down LL! It had a model train system right in the middle! And stacks and stacks of games and various fun things. The one in the village isn't as fun... It's basically a rich kid's bedroom.


I'd like a local music shop, once a man on the street kept on pestering me "Where is the Lordship Lane Music shop?" "Erm... there isnt one." "No, no there IS one. There can't not be! There's a music shop along here somewhere!!"


I thought he was having me on, but he seemed genuinely pissed off...

There are two music shops in the area

- South London Music is at 54 Grove Vale, http://www.slmusic.co.uk/

- Dulwich Music Shop in Uplands Road. They were originally at that address, moved for a long time to W Dulwich but saw the error of their ways ;-) and returned to ED earlier this year.


Was this the sort of shop your enquirer was thinking about ......

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
