The guy who has moved out of the Junction shop told me that there is no way this shop will become an Indian restaurant.


ETA: Sadly, as it was a Saturday night and I'd had a few bevvies, I can't remember exactly what he said, but it was something to do with council regulations for Lordship Lane, in fact he may have also said it couldn't be a restaurant at all, but whatever it was, it deffo won't be an Indian restaurant.


So I think the OP is confirmed as a wind-up.

No but there ARE regulations about the mixture of food/non food outlets that are allowed and as the current shop is not a food outlet it is probable/possible that the council would be unwilling to alter the balance.

Yes, I think that's the reason that I was given as to why it wouldn't be a restaurant.

I agree with something another well known poster said recently. Which is that the days of a good independent start up restaurant on a central Lordship Lane location are now pretty much over. Rents are prohibitive, even in the current climate.


As a result, the only buyers of new leases are more likely to be chains who can work on lower margins due to their economies of scale. And so South London's best independent high street risks becoming further homogenised.


I'd also agree that Camberwell and Peckham are now the domain of more interesting start ups (Silk Road, Angels and Gypsies, Frank's etc).

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
