Thanks peeps! I live in Bexleyheath (SE london/NW Kent). I did visit Lewisham by bus several years ago specifically to look at a shop called " Rolls and Rems" which was quite good - don't know if it's still there though.

I was in Lewisham today, and I myself was wondering if it's still there having just read this thread- wish I'd seen it earlier:(. I think it was still in business a couple of years ago as my wife's nan bought the material for her wedding dress there (before deciding that she was too old to make it:rolleyes: ).

Anyway, next time I'm down there I'll have a look. I might go on Friday as I'm down that way anyway.

Thank you so much everyone for your replies to my query! You are all stars!

Maryb - I've evidently never been to Bromley on a Thursday, as I didn't even realise they still HAD a market! I remember there used to be a fabric stall at Woolwich market too, which is even easier for me to get to. The only problem with going to Bromley by bus if you can't stand up for very long is that there never seems to be anywhere to sit while waiting for the bus outside Sainsbury's

Rave next time you're in Lewisham, if you do notice Rolls and Rems is still there it'd be great if you could let me know - it all helps!

Cor - can't wait to get started now! (Though will have to wait til I've managed to drag OH to Ikea to get a workstation, so I can have the dining table back! Hopefully that will be in the next couple of weeks. )

Went past today, and Rolls and Rems appear to still be very much in business:). Their 20% off sale ends on Sunday though apparently:(.
