"Greedy landlords who ejected tenants in order to gather up fat rents from Olympic visitors are being left bitterly disappointed. Estate agents say only a tiny proportion of homes offered for rent have been taken.


Just nine days before the opening ceremony, one dedicated website was listing more than 4,200 rooms still available in the capital. Landlords now face substantial void periods and the spectre of rent falls as a glut of unwanted Olympic rentals are returned to the market.


?It has been a total waste of time,? says Guy Watson, managing director of Champions estate agents in Chelsea. ?We have let a total of one house ? to a South American Olympic committee.?

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
