Oh no, this has ruined my week - the end of an era, I've fallen into that shop and ordered all manner of things in the middle of the night for a good few years now.


This settles it, there is nothing to keep me in London anymore.


However...do we think this may be the secret location of the new cocktail bar being discussed on another thread?

Disagree


Seeing as the old Pizza shop is at the now livelier "foodie" part of the lane, people do care and very much so


Specially as the Picture House, when it opens, will focus food further at that end of the Lane too


I know traders are making plans to change their offer accordingly, to make the best of the anticipated trade uplift


So "what's happening to empty shop" is very relevant, it's prime retail space

Seabag - what changes are the traders at that end of the lane making to their offering? Later opening hours? Change of use to to serve food? I'm confused. Those units up their are so small this place can't become a restaurant, so regardless of Picture House opening, it will at most become another deli or something of that ilk.


As for the couscous/middle eastern eatery that sounds like an online rumour to me. It's probably gonna remain empty for a while because of excessive rents and then be taken on by a charity shop.

As with other place near theatres or cinemas, traders will have a menu of quicker/faster quality food and wine etc. The kind of pre or after theatre offers you see elsewhere


Not sure about a Cous-cous bar (whatever that is) but a Ranoush Juice might work. The attractive thing about that area of the lane is, the shops have a frontage to trade off, as well as the shop space itself

    • Aria did a good job fixing a leak in our bathroom. He was very thorough and made two extra visits to make sure the job was done well. Highly recommended.
    • As a diminutive (5ft 1) woman who regularly attends the park with her four children - all under 5; two of them (twins) in a push-chair - the thread caught my eye. If there identifiable troublemakers likely to be there I want to know what they look like so I can avoid them. Isn't that "strange" of me, wishing to avoid harm coming to my children?? 😲 I have been discussing the ludicrous responses to this thread 🧵 (which I bet £100 exclusively emanate from bourgeois native Brits) with work colleagues (you would be hard pressed to find a more 'diverse' bunch in terms of age and ethnicity - except we are all female). One colleague (a Ukranian lady) made a perceptive observation that everyone seemed to agree with. When British newspapers and news websites mention an offender (e.g. 'police are asking the general public for assistance in seeking the alleged offender who is a middle-aged male'), she always assumes the offender is not of white British heritage since, if the offender is white this is usually mentioned, but seldom the other way around. Until recently racial prejudice was a thing of the past (unless in the most hardcore of families), now it is creeping back and one important factor is the perception that the indigenous general public are not being treated fairly with this sort of dishonest - some would say activist - reportage. An attitude that clearly informed the bizarre claim that my concerned inquiry was  "strange". Fact is it was anything but strange. What is strange is people denying the evidence of their own eyes and - in this case - casting aspersions on a concerned parent. 
    • Yesterday we received about 3 weeks worth of post. This included duplicate documents where we'd had to ask for another copy since the first copy never arrived, bank papers, my new driving licence and one mis-delivery.  We'd spent ages in the last few weeks either on the phone or convoluted websites trying to chase these things. I'd rally like to co,plain but have a feeling I'd be wasting my time.
