Property developer bought the building with the flats and shop premises, to build luxury/ yet more unaffordable flats... Mrs Robinson set to re-open once building works done, but with a smaller shop cz one half of the shop premises will be converted into s flat.
I'm really sorry to see Mrs Robinson being squeezed like this - it is one of my favourite shops in ED. I miss its clothes shop across the road too. It started off too expensive for me but for the last couple of years its prices seemed to come down and I bought a lot from there - though not enough to keep it afloat, obviously...

Fingers crossed it reopens, I love Mrs Robinson and it?s nice to have something other than coffee or pricey restaurants. Luxury flats, luxury flats, luxury flats ? that?s all we seem to hear in Southeast London. Don?t these money-grabbing developers realise that without a varied, interesting High Street, the appeal of ED and price premium of these luxury flats is no longer sustainable?

    • I wouldn't undervalue your expertise Bob.  When I occasionally have professionals around they always thank me for advice and don't mind the work taking twice the time.  One offered to treat me with an old fashioned sixpence to go to the flicks and go away.  Although even the Plex isn't that cheap.
    • St Christopher's on LL I'd list them for free as well on this website.
    • I've got noisy neighbours.  Some are always cutting wood and metal over the weekend and into the summer evenings using mitre saws, angle grinders and the like.  Breaking up concrete with Kangos.  Getting concrete poured or skips changed at 7 in the morning. And then there are those to lazy (they say they are busy) to cut their lawns and hedges cut, so rather than using quieter electric mowers etc the professional do it with motor mowers and electric strimmers.  Then there are the BBQs and outdoor parties, with the loud music and conversations, or the kids' parties the worst culprit has a pool so in warm weather kids swarm round there.  There are noise controls for building work and big DIY projects, but many don't adhere to them.  So much for good neighbours.
    • I think the main issue was with the wind - sound waves are physical and will be blown around.
