Forest Hill Road (opinion on shop fronts and signs)

[AnotherEDer]

HAha, if you are talking about the shop I think you are, we were walking past when they were intalling the lit shop sign. Without exaggeration, we had to shield our eyes and cross the street! It is so obnoxiously bright. I feel sorry for the houses opposite..

But the sausages are worth it :)

He's a superb butcher, sunday dinner and xmas every year from him

doesn't take cards and it's always a dash to get there by 2pm saturday, but meat is class

I was at school with his eldest daughter as well

To get back on topic: FHR shops are good but let down by a few grotspots. The yellow/blue monstrosity has been like they for years, so I doubt its owner will do anything to improve its looks. I like the bollards and bins that've been painted but lament the uneven shop fronts. Well done to those businesses that are doing their bit to beautify it and boo-hiss to the ones that aren't.

The yellow/blue monstrosity used to be called Two Trees restaurant...they used to serve great food

[fleur]

I wish Two Trees was still there, wonderful breakfasts and good cous cous. It's a terrible it has been neglected, sadly doubt we will see anything as good there in the future.

I remember the couscous too it was truly delicious....

You must be thinking of somewhere else as there are no houses opposite. That little row of shops on Wood Vale overlook Camberwell Old Cemetery.

Two Trees was good. Do wish the owners would reopen or at least do something with that space.

Love the Turkish Supermarket too.

[tallulah71]

Totally agree: Like the Turkish shop, Love Kim @ Libretto's - shop there every saturday. And had many a good night at Two Trees....don't know what went wrong, because food was delish.

[alice]

they moved further along but the whole vibe went

[tallulah71]

eh? No they didn't

sorry! Did they? Two Trees? I missed that, then....

[alice]

i was sure - still am but cant say for def into which they moved - shall have a think

[fleur]

Old two trees moved to where Si mangia is now and yes - all went downhill unfortunately, lost it's quality.

[the-e-dealer]

No two trees remained and two trees lounge opened where si m is.

They both operated and I used both.

Then two trees closed some months layer.

The yellow and blue shop is owned by the Seamaster people and last I heard they were considering an american diner for that space...

[kiera]

I hope the 'Seamaster people' don't extend their new diner to take up the whole forecourt, as they have done with their fish and chip shop, leaving no accommodation for their bins. There's hardly room for two people to pass each other on the pavement outside Seamaster, with the bins on the already narrow pavement.

[the-e-dealer]

I'm sure under planning rules they have to provide a bin area. And God do those bins stick as you walk past ! Hardly appetising!
