Whereabouts on walworth road?, I need to get a new sofa.
the one on walworth road that often has sofas and some brilliant old furniture (I've seen a few vintage home bars in there 
but 
at not having the space for one 
) is on the corner of walworth road and liverpool grove, just along from m&s.
but if you need a sofa pronto, the bhf on old kent road might be a better bet.

that man with a (red) van might do it?but I'm guessing that delivery would be tricky
Tanky has all the answers
(I only knew it was on a corner )

Cool. I will check them out, I'd sooner get an old one that's in good nick rather than some ikea jobby.

The advantage of getting one at a charity shop (apart from the recycling and good cause) is that you can sit on it first and also they will deliver as a sofa can be tricky on a bus...
I like that image. Perhaps on a par with hitch-hiking around Ireland with a fridge. There is a book in it I think.

when we got our free sofa the hour's man and van hire cost £50. Badgers would surely be paying that for a charity shop sofa.

It didn't go with my room.
You should have changed your bedroom then
I don't think there's ANY new furniture in my bedroom. It's all at least 1960s stuff(some may be older)
George & Bill
semiotically superfluous
I remember them, they're a bit pricey iirc
As wiht a lot of these places, they're often very good value for more expensive stuff, but poor value for cheap and cheerful. I bought a very good quality, good condition 2-seater sofa from them for £30 about two years ago, and they even threw in a free armchair! OTOH, they had Ikea coffee tables for more than they're worth new.

I'll meet you further on up the road
its also worth checking in with freecycle for sofa's too
Just went in one at lunch and they had a roll top bureau in the window.
But it was sold
& too expensive

& too expensive
I have a relative in the trade: the problem with the smaller charity shops is (sometimes) that the pricing is done by people that don't really have a clue about how much stuff is worth, which is why it can seem very expensive. But I suppose that's also an attraction, as you might find a Barcelona chair for fifty quid.
