Light bulbs

I live just off Great Dover Street. Is there shop that sells a good selection of light bulbs in the local area?

Thanks.

Stage Electrics on Long Lane sells light bulbs. Entrance is in their car park, Weston Street. They've stopped stocking the old bulbs though.

B&Q on the Old Kent Road has millions.

Well, hundreds anyway.

Edmundson in Great Suffolk Street carries many of the less usual ones.

Can you buy direct from Edmundson, I thought they were trade only? Useful if you can.

Yes, an oldfashioned business that may focus on the trade side but anyone can wander in, pick one lightbulb off the shelf and they'll laboriously write out a carbon copy receipt for it.

(Caveat: it's a year or so since I've been in. But think they'll also order in a one-off item from their catalogues if you like.)

Try EBS, opposite windmill walk in the Cut. They have most things, and if not just relax in the cockney backchat, as in, proffering strange light bulb, " Do you have one of these?" " Yes"

And for regulars it gets much worse

Haha!

BEW Electrical on Grange Road - they've got just about everything.

I can second the recommendation:) found some really particular stuff in Edmundson a while back.
