The running shop does indded do bikes - good uns at that - ??????


as ibo sez- There are a handful of bike shops around the place - Edwardes in Cambers, Brixton has one or two, Herne hill has a good un.


the relatively short hop to Decathalon in the Quays has a devent range of well priced bikes.

not that good to be honest. - you need to know what you want to get the best deal

Thanks to all who posted suggestions and I will go and check out the Triathlon shop. However I am more of a "down to northcross road to do the shopping" cyclist than a 50km after a 20km swim, lycra-clad athlete.


The point for me however is not to find somewhere to buy a new bike but to help me keep my 8-year old road bike running. I need someone who can supply parts for the things I can fix myself, do the jobs I can't and give it an overhaul once every couple of years.


I've used Edwards, and would strongly recommend both Herne Hill Bicycles and Brixton Cycles. My only complaint is that it's a long way to wheel a broken bike to Herne Hill or Brixton. Even if I can ride there - just for a service say - it feels like a hassle to drop it off in the morning, get the bus home, take the bus back in the evening and then ride back. (have you ever waited for a 37? Twice in one day?)


So, all you budding cyclentrepreneurs out there...spot that opportunity!

In East Dulwich I would like to see shopsmore like they were in the good old days before these nasty home counties types moved in, when every workhouse had a piano, and policemen gave you a clip round the ear and the shops in Lordship lane were much more authentic

Lordship Lane circa 1900



You don't see that lad in a 3 wheeled pram now do you, and he's even neatening his tie. That's because he never had a mobile phone.

You have no idea how hard we in Peckham Rye SE15 side tried to get TFL and the council Highways Department to get a filter green light for us to turn right safely.

We worked so hard and made plans and took photos and so on.

We asked for a roundabout when first the new lights were put in at the SE15 side of Peckham Rye (as distinct from the SE22 side which leads to Barry Road/CLockhouse)

But Southwark Council will Not Listen.

They just have Community Councils and SAY they listen.

I'd like to see more cafe's and maybe more of those places that you can paint on crockery with your kids. I love those.


While we're at it why not introduce more pelican crossings on Lordship LAne, It's impossible getting from the deli to the card shop without having to walk miles up to the little green man near Newcross road.


Finally, how about installng some kind of gated perimeter to keep out those not from ED?

In East Dulwich in 2008 I would like to see...

2 Suggestions


1. I would love to see a decent Wood-fired pizza place. A great family owned place ( of course- what else?) or failing that something like Firezza (who are now in Herne Hill (but takewaway only). EDT Pizza isn't good enough, The Mag is good but wood fired would be the best.


2. For me to come back from work one night, bike up lordship lane and not seeing Foxtons realising that it had just been a bad dream ( Bobby Ewing Style) and the 50 million trees that went into the letters the I received from them still growing & sucking up CO2.

Snorky - such simple observations and so correct.... you would have to be in some deluded state that made you think you were in some kind of new middle class that was secretly more informed than the rest of the uk not to see what it is that you are saying.

      Anywhere locally that repairs dentures on-site?

      By Lilly1 · Posted

      The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly.

      Had to take a second look!

      Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
