Details of the application with some funky looking images - see the "Enhanced 3D images" in particular. There's a new entrance to the side of the existing building on Champion Park (moreorless where bus stop is) with slope to a new overbridge providing additional steps and lifts to all platforms. The existing stairs and bridge and ticket hall look to remain as they are so much improved capacity and access all round. Can't wait!


Denmark Hill Station planning application details


If link doesn't work the application number to search for via Southwark planning register is 09 AP 0669.

Sounds good - access is dreadful for the amount of people who use it at rush hour. Particularly when they announce a platform change a minute before the train is due - with other trains arriving at the same time so the stairs are so congested that you can't get to the new platform.

> I cant see Peckham rye on there?


At last, there are major plans being developed for restructuring the interior working of Peckham Rye station buildings to make it accessible. We are planning a meeting in the autumn of the Rye Lane & Station Action Group (RLSAG) to hear from the rail companies on this. The station was listed last year, so we will also be having a presentation from Benedict O?Looney, the Peckham Society expert on historic architecture, on the detailed historic aspects and how they can be accommodated in the reconstruction. We will also be hearing from the Council about the latest on the Peckham Area Action Plan process, and a number of activities and ideas which might help to transform that central part of Rye Lane. The RLSAG is an open discussion forum between residents and the various public agencies that affect our town centre. The info on its meeting will be posted here, but if you want to be on the mailing list please email me at RLSAG@nutbrook.demon.co.uk. You can see some background information on these matters at

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
