Yep the polish shop is pretty good, managed to pick up a few bits when everyone was going crazy for loo role and bread.
Regarding the parade of shops… around the corner you have this white monstrosity which seems to have completely ignored its planning.
This is the latest case drawings which have been ejected…
The basement flat has a tiny strip window behind those bins for natural light…
And prior to that planning application, the change of use to flats was rejected - due to lack of natural light - under DC/20/118314.
I assume that’s what happened the the shop conversions around the corner? They ignore the planning permission and the council doesn’t check up or make them change it back.
I went past yesterday just after 5.30pm and Jagiello’s (the polish del were definitely open!
Mmea looking even better today. I said hello to the owner - they have a lot of plants outside and inside the collection looks amazing - quite a few huge ones and some rarities. Looking forward to becoming a regular customer!
It looks amazing… I have no room for any more plants but suspect I might eat those words.
Looked even better today. They open this Saturday. Can’t wait.
Hello! I’ve been trying to figure out what the deal is with that green shop front with all the plants is for a while now. Do you know anything about it? Is it a plant shop? Or has someone just decorated it to make it look nice for people passing by?
Are you referring to the building on the corner at the junction of Waldram Park Road and Sunderland Rd? If so - it isn’t a plant shop. I was recently told by someone who lives nearby that the plants belong to the person who lives above the empty shop and has a love of plants!
don’t think it’s that as the thread is for Brockley Rise
Is it this:
I am assuming you don’t mean Mmea?
Although the title of the thread is Brockley Rise Arcade a photo of the building on the corner of Waldram Park Rd and Sunderland Rd was posted on May 25th! As it’s painted green and permanently has plants outside I thought it might be the building @Pema_Monaghan was asking about.
A-ha! I missed that, and in that case you might be right!
The green shop is being lived in by the owner, who indeed has a love of plants “acquired” from around forest hill amongst other things. There is no connection to the flats above from my understanding.
