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'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
