Not wanting to monopolise this chat, but... Honor Oak Park is slap-bang in the middle of several supermarkets! Crofton Park, Peckham / Nunhead, Forest Hill, Dulwich, Sydenham... We have Coop, Budgen, Sainsbury, Tesco and more around us!

I opted to live in this area because it has a different village-ish tone about it. To be honest that's the beauty of this place. The shops on the parade cater for most things, and their the prices are reasonable. As a point of reference, Sainsbury's Local prices are higher than the bigger stores - you pay a premium for having it on your doorstep, as well as seeing local business go down the plug hole.

What his neighbourhood needs is NOT another chain store.
