Sure Nutty, I know it - it's probably just joining the list of vacant lots on LL. Currently Hindwoods Hunter Payne are listing one of the Walsh units, the Unwins shop, the old mobile phone shop and even Anterior Trading on North Cross Road as up for grabs. Eliz's is smaller and less flexible than most of those.


Some of the proposed rents would require big balls from a local trader to take on - several thousand pounds a month. These can be easy to cover in the medium term as a loss leader for national chains, but that's not economic for nick-nacks unless we've have a massive increase in transient visitors.


I don't think Eliz's is big enough for a chain unless it's a pizza delivery place or equivalent.

I asked the outfitters today, and although they wouldn't tell me who it was, they told me they were outfitting it as a clothes store. It's all opened up inside, with pine-effect double doors leading out to the back yard. Here's a candid shot...

There doesn't seem to be much sign of a bar or counter and those all-white walls and spotlights would suggest that a trendy shop was the most likely occupier...


Batdog, mebbe they'll do a Kaftan and some mystic stones for you on special???

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
