Just found this on the planning portal. The existing newsagent at 100 Lordship Lane, 'ED Local', looks like it will be sharing the space with a branch of Subway aka 'eat fresh'. Guessing it will be a franchise? What does everyone think? Welcome addition? Will be handy if it's open late for the post night life crowd wanting a snack on the way home.

I'd leave out the "borderline" :)


And damn, I too thought we were getting a subway under the road! Maybe at that nasty junction opposite The Bishop,!

Can't say the thought excites me but ED, like a lot of gentrified London, has become a place of two parallel lifestyles and there are plenty of people who will probably find it more to their liking and their pocket than W Rose, Moxon's or Franklins.
Their bread is rubbish- they must have employed someone to investigate how much air you can pump into bread before it collapses....also- what is that horrible sour smell in their shops...I have been in several with other people and they all smell weird?

I think you're kind of missing the point. It's not competing with Boulangerie Jade or Brick House... it's more of an alternative to fried chicken or a kebab.

Everything on the menu is 'reformed meat'.


You'd do far better getting a lamb or chicken wrap from Kebab and Wine, or felafel, for a similar price.

The 12" meatball marinara contains more salt than the recommended daily total for an adult, 42 grams of fat (18g saturated, almost 100% RDA for adult women) and over 1000 calories. Never eaten anything from them myself but friends who have tell me it's actually pretty revolting too!

They might not have very healthy components to their offering, but I reckon almost all local food options - including the new MEATLiqour and Franco Manca, are not exactly 'healthy', cheese, fatty meats, bread bases. When you're on a budget something like Subway is a good addition compared to fried chicken and greasy kebabs, the other local budget options. At least it contains salad.

A shish, potentially. But not a doner, no way. K&W don't do falafel.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
