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).

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
