Despite a mammoth queue of socially distanced shoppers outside the local M&S food hall, the atmosphere in East Dulwich was subdued as residents awoke to tier 4 measures on Sunday morning.
With the independent shops and salons that line Lordship Lane in the affluent south-east London area closed for business, the buzz of last-minute Christmas dashes had been replaced by those picking up provisions for now-smaller celebrations.
Among the benefactors was Franklin’s farm shop, one of several essential businesses still allowing customers indoors to buy organic fruit and vegetables. But while trade was up, co-owner Tim Sheehan, 58, said he felt anxious about the new, more infectious strain of Covid-19.

An Ilford man is one of three people due to appear in court next month after being charged with drug offences.
Abed Lama, 22, of Bedford Road, was charged with conspiracy to supply Class A drugs after being arrested at an address in Camelford, Cornwall, on November 12.
This arrest came as part of Operation Orochi, a collaboration between the Met’s Specialist Crime Command and Devon and Cornwall police, who are working together to tackle criminals who traffic and exploit vulnerable individuals to sell drugs.
