Bellenden Road is nice, I can walk freely without looking-at-listening-bumping-into the people/shops who'd be in the Rye Lane area.


I'm fine with that & i'm sure i'm not missed over there.


Not looking for Shangri-La though. Just a bit of peace, and a decent coffee.

loving your work here DC.

Bellend it has always been, Bellend it will remain. Even if you were to have "street food" in Bellend it wouldn't improve. Oh, wait a minute "street food", or more commonly known as "food from market stalls", have been offered on Choumert for donkeys.

I disagree - I really like a lot of the shops on Bellenden Road, from the bookshop that has been there for yonks, to The Begging Bowl Thai restaurant. I've eaten there a few times & really enjoyed it.
