The Lordship Lane and North Cross Road area now has a wide selection of bars, restaurants and specialist retailers for the 'foodie' market.
[citation needed] The architecturally meritorious Dulwich Library, which opened on 24 November 1897, is on the lane.
Lordship Lane is also home of the unusual listed building, the so-called "Concrete House".
Derelict for many years it has now been restored with the help of the Heritage of London Trust into 5 flats, to be managed by Hexagon Housing Association.
This locality is also the subject of Lordship Lane Station, Dulwich, an 1871 painting by Camille Pissarro,[2] which now hangs at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London.
