Are you planning to leave before or after you develop the Victorian house into luxury flats? Many people would consider such development equally detrimental to ED's 'vibe'. Have you sought Fred R's views, for example?

i totally agree with you. i cant understand its popularity. may be because celebs drink it ??

shops people want will survive - shop they don't will have to close.

So please don't complain - support your local shop before they close!

Why are people taking the OP so seriously?

Starbucks already have an outlet at Sainsburys with parking for 800 ?? cars.

I think it's all up to people living in ED. If you would support local business and actually shop there instead of spending your money in big chains then local business would not go out of business and big chains would not be able to take over their shops.

I think it's a shame that G&B is closing - there is one guy who really knows his wine and is brilliant. As for Starbucks - that is disappointing - the coffee is awful (only for my taste....so not to offend those who like it).

[peckhamboy]

What evidence is there that G&B is becoming a Starbucks? This smacks of a wind-up.

starbucks coffee tastes like luke warm milk..last time i was there (sainsbury-starbucks) i complaint and i was told next time i should ask for my coffee extra hot!! ..??..

[Jenny1]

They probably serve lukewarm coffee due to their American-style hyper sensitivity to people sueing them if they scald themselves on a properly hot drink.

I have no idea how much truth there is to the rumour that Starbucks may be eyeing up Lordship Lane.

But I agree with those who say - vote with your purse - make sure you buy from independent shops/businesses if you value their continued presence in the area. And should there be some kind of campaign to keep out larger chains - then back it.

Don't know where that rumour came from but Green and Blue will not be turning into a Starbucks.....
