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

      Council "weed" removal

      Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.

      No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
