Hi Tarot, Peckham is really not far to go for a Superdrug or Sainsbury's DKH has quite a large stock of toiletry type products. I like Sea Cow for fish and chips. And there's a toilet in Cafe Nero- I know only one but it's better than none.


I like the independent cinema idea but then again I don't mind going to Brixton and I really love The Ritzy. I think just more cozy type restaurants/bars that allow for a less in your face kind of atmosphere (not sure how to explain this better!) but then again that wouldn't cater for the families around here.


Also some cheaper places to eat and some kind of noodle/Vietnamese style restaurant would be amazing (for me!) and a Natwest (sick of the ridiculous queues in Peckham)

That sounds good, Noodle bar, and a cinema.

Most cimemas are quite small these days, one could be fitted in somewhere.

I heard a rumour they may have one at Crystal Palace, but I think that plan has been shelved now.

Things are changing in this borough, it used to be a sleepy little place once.

But I do think it will rival places like Camden, and markets like Greenwich.

Given time and new bussiness,s springing up.

Sometimes I wonder whether you do think, Tarot.


"That plan" has most definitely not "been shelved now", I can assure you.

Isn't that doubling up? I mean, it's having two places in ED where you can get your pet beaver stuffed...

Get a grip people - amongst all the unfeasible toss mentioned on here , a Cinema ?


you seem to think you are living in some kind of twisted Richard Curtis stytlised Urban Utopia, with Hugh Grant as a next door neighbour & That tiresome Gryff Rhys Jones sockpuppet as as stall holder on the NCR.


Its a scruffy South London Borough, surrounded by some of the worst poverty and depravation in Europe, not Notting Hill or Aldeburgh, however you view it.


Pfft

If would want to brave the " locals "***, then there are jewellers & a myriad of shops on the Rye lane that would be more than happy to change Your batteries



*** Now commonly heard ED spoken shorthand for the non white working classes.Not sneering racist though. Definately not.Us Guardian readers positively embrace diversity. Oh yes.

    • This is where I sit too. A two day event is bearable. Three tests my tolerance. Finding the right balance on size, noise and impact is where I contribute to the consultation process. BUT, as I wrote elsewhere, every year the GALA organisers ask/ push for more, and deals have already been done with the council before it gets to public consultation stage. It is also worth pointing out that when a licence was first granted, the orgnaisation was different (We Are the Fair), one of the company directors lived literally next to the park (she left when it became GALA) and the current form bears no resemblance to original ethos/ vision sold to the council and licensing committee. This needs to be pointed out and I am fairly confident local councillors would also support a pushback on any further expansion. We have local elections next year, so councillors ears will be open.
    • Niko was really great. He fixed my blocked shower very quickly, was great at communicating and a lovely guy to talk to. And he doesn't charge the earth! 
    • Not really sure why SE22 is getting upset about Brockwell Park.  I expect more people around here attend the festivals than are inconvenienced by it.  But it supports my view that many like to complain even when not directly affected. Football grounds move.  Attendances change.  Demographic too,not old blokes in flat caps or boys in short trousers with rattles.  Arsenal attendances at the Emirates are over twice what they were in the late 80s at Highbury.  Much more disruption in N1 nowadays.  DHFC tripples what they were 15 years ago, but good news is much quieter than the past.  
    • The School doesn't have any supplementary forms as of admissions from September 2025. So anyone can go now, it's a nice school!
