Can anyone recommend somewhere in the area I can take a Tag Heuer watch for a new battery please.

Thanks folks - appreciate it.

Looking for advice or recommendations - considering using a local agent such as Daisy Lets or alternatively, doing it privately using an online service such as Open Rent. Any advice or recent experience appreciated. Hx

This makes no sense. Either you?re ignorant or being deliberately perverse. I?ve never been to Franco Manca (for example) but students and lower income people seem to swear by it because they say it?s great quality at a great price. Equally, ?well off foodies? seem to love it too. I say hats off to the likes of FM for making themselves attractive to everyone regardless of income. You seem to be confusing trendy with pricey, you need to bring yourself up to date.

Still trying to understand why a new pizza place would attract ?wealthy foodies and no one else? but you?ve conveniently skipped that point.

Closed permanently according to their FB page. Such a shame. Seems the location didn?t work out for them.

Doubt you'll have much luck as it's there in black & white. Others may think differently, or know more about Southwark.
