SIGN UPLillie Road shops and The Pop Up
Our pop-up high street on Lillie Road, is home to London’s biggest pub garden and some of the best eateries in the city at The Prince, alongside a curated mix of independent retailers and artisans.
‘The Pop Up’, is a free, temporary retail space on the high street that aims to support and grow new local businesses by offering a pressure-free environment in which to learn how to promote and sell their products. Find out more about the space and how to apply to use the space here.
The Prince
A grand old pub brought back to life by Incipio Group around a big, beautiful garden, featuring London's most exciting food, drink and social experiences. Find out more here.
The Hoarder
The Hoarder is a neighbourhood speciality coffee shop where you can get yourself a slamming cortado while you stock up on snacks, natural wine, and craft beer. Founders Michael Mulcahy and Jacob Pover have turned what could be yet another nondescript coffee shop in a nondescript location into a warm and inviting space; a spot where you’ll be desperate to become a regular feature and frequent for your daily caffeine.

Dads House
Dads House is a charity whose aim is to make sure children remain the priority after divorce, separation, or bereavement. They help dads and families, including offering emotional support, combating loneliness and isolation by being available to chat with Dads on the phone or in-person at our drop-in centre, breakfast clubs, law clinics, food banks and accommodation/housing. Find out more here.
Pedal Back
Pedal Back Cycling is definitely not your average bike shop. Drop in to get your bike repaired and serviced and enjoy a coffee, cake or toastie while you wait. We offer honest advice and a relaxed and fun approach to cycling. We run regular workshops, where you can learn to fix your own bike and hold regular ride outs for those who want to try a group ride without judgement on your kit or bike. With the focus on the city cyclist, we stock and work with independent bike brands and designers in the coffee and cycling industry. We like to work with people who share the same ethos and values as us and realise that cycling isn't just about men in Lycra . Find out more here.
The Gallery
The Gallery is currently occupied by Adam Hennesey, artist and art tutor who was selected as the third Artist in Residence. In January ECDC launched an Artist in Residence programme selecting twelve artists to work with the local community over a three-year period to deliver portraits and community arts projects. The artists host free weekly art classes for local people every Tuesday at the Community Hub. During Adam’s three-month residency from July – September he spent his time choosing to draw portraits of people in profile using coloured pencils. Twenty-six people came up the stairs to the studio in the Community Hub and sat very patiently as he drew them. He drew them all from observation, often taking photographs so he could finish any complex patterns on the clothes or fix any mistakes. Pop down to The Gallery to take a look and to find out more about his residency, click here.
The exhibition will be open at the following times:
Thursday 19th: 12pm – 5pm
Monday 23rd: 12pm – 5pm
Wednesday 25th: 2pm-5pm
Thursday 26th: 12am - 5pm
