Being a nosey parker with an irrational hatred of empty shops, I am intrigued by the first few signs of life in a few empty premises on LL/NX Rd. Anyone have any inside info about the following?


Old Woolwich near crossing by Londis: A new boarded-up door has appeared! Can this mean something???

Old Chopsticks on LL: Definitely saw someone working there the other day... Anyone know who's taken it on?

Old offices opp. Blue Mountain Cafe on NX Rd: I see a 'Sold' sign has gone up. Am pathetically excited at the prospect this might become a shop or shops as it's such a big site. Anyone heard who's bought/rented it?

Premises next to flower shop near Goose Green: Is this still to be a dentist? It's taking forever.

Old stationer's near Goose Green: I gather from elsewhere on the forum this is to be a second-hand clothes shop? Can anyone confirm this?

Old Threshers shop on LL: Sadly, no signs of life in this one at all... Ditto the old video shop, presumably too early to know who's taking on this premises yet (if anyone).


Anyone know of any others?

My understanding is it is to be a veggie restaurant connected to SMBS. There is new signange in place, hidden by a canvas

This is correct

Video shop is on a VERY expensive lease ? suspect it will be a chain if anything

Not LL/NX, but there were builders clearing out the shop on the corner of Forest Hill Road and Dunstans Road (next to William Hill) this morning. That shop's been empty for ages, so will be interesting to see what, if anything, happens on the site.

SMacG is correct about Chopsticks. Mrs Kford heard from the SMBS boys that they will be turning it into a veggie/organic curry house.


The stationers is to be a high-end second-hand clothes shop.


Heard that the old offices are to be a Jack Wills White Stuff-type shop. I think I heard that on here though, so read into that what you will.

xxxxxxx


I just can't express how absolutely horrified I am to hear this, given that I will have to pass it virtually every day :-S


Praying it's not true :-S

Do you mean the Blue Brick Cafe on Fellbrigg Road? Yes, how funny there'll be two veggie cafes opening so close together. Good to hear that SMBS has taken over the old Chopsticks site.


Interesting about the old offices on NX Rd - I'll be sad to see a chain move in to that street. But it all sounds rather unconfirmed so I guess it's a bit early to bring out my protest placards.


And hooray for a 'high-end' second-hand clothes shop! We wouldn't want just any old second-hand clothes in ED after all...

My mother was annoyed to find that clothes from Her Era (60s) are now vintage, and stuff that she thought was vintage (20s/30s) is now considered antique..

would love a decent menswear shop to fill one of these places, bit gutted to hear the blue brick cafe will no longer be a breakfast type caff, they did a great fry up, interested to see what the new place will be like though - I have to say though it seems a bit of a rubbish location for a restaurant though, can't imagine them getting much walk in business

I was surprised to discover the other day that the homeware part of Mrs Robinson has a little menswear section at the back of the shop - think this is new? Not cheap, but looked like a decent selection. And Ed is pretty good for men's clothes.

      Resident Doctors

      By ianr · Posted

      This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon

      The Office Party - how it used to be.

      That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of.  But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
