Impressions of Dulwich & Peckham by an elderly American traveller.


Recommended Posts

Did he actually go to Peckham?


He seems to have completely missed the vibrant African, largely evangelical Christian population that has a high profile on Rye Lane. I havent seen much in the way of Islamic oppression of women on Rye Lane, but I have seen a box of giant edible snails for sale; shame those dont get a mention. If he heard Middle Eastern music, that would have been Asian music from those shops run by Asians.


"Peckham Rye" is a large and rather pleasent park is it not? With a lively population of Green Parakeets that also dont get a mention.

the concentration in Peckham Rye is skewed towards the very poor, the struggling, and the immigrant. Walking the streets one runs up against the evidences of the Islamic oppression of women everywhere:


Oh do cock off, Roy.


Can't blame you about the boner for Ros, er, sorry, the vivacious young woman in Review, though. I don't think Review has anything to do with London Review either. Although I'm willing to be corrected on that.


Mind you, shouldn't be too harsh, you should see my math. Terrible, it is.

    • Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next. 
    • IMO, Sealy, the best nights sleep you'll ever have.  
    • I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!
    • Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
