Office leases more so than retail and particularly so for small tenants and even more so outside of central London. Large tenants won't get a break clause for 10 years. A typical supermarket lease is 25 years during which time the landlord cannot remove them though there will typically be rent-reviews every 5 years (upwards only) that both parties are contractually obligated to agree.

LM, yes I'd only been looking at office and small shop leases.


As for the upward only rent increase ours is pegged to the RPI and is twice in the 10 yrs. I have a commercial property lawyer organising all the terms and negotiating the lease and I think he's been pretty good so far.


It's a long term commitment and the wrong lease can cause a lot of problems for a business, so I think it makes sense to pay for a decent lawyer at the outset.

- If there was a protest against Cafe Nero (I didn't live here before Cafe Nero arrived)I'd suggest it wasn't really representative of the majority of ED residents, borne out by the fact that it's generally pretty busy.

- I don't really get why there would be a protest against a coffe shop. If you don't like it, noones going to force you to go there. If no one goes it'll close, if lots of people go,it'll stay open...same as any other outlet.

As you weren't here you won't know what you're talking about.


One of the biggest issues that people protested against was the lack of planning permission. Nero just did the work and then applied retrospectively. Using the financial and legal clout of a multinational they bulldozed through local opinion.


People were also concerned that it took money away from the high street. A local independent run by locals channels its profits back into the local community. In Nero's case it simply goes to anonymous shareholders.


So, no, not the same as any other outlet.

    • Had a Red Admiral in front driveway today. Hadn't seen one for some time
    • It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.
    • In  parts of Europe you just get charged tax at the end of your stay somewhere. Usually a couple of quid added to your bill. Most tourists are pretty happy to stump up the cost, as it's an expected expense.  I  think it's a good way to make money and remove the burden from locals.  It's for foreigners, Sue - I'm sure Londoners and brits will still be able to freely cross the borough lines without having to go through checkpoint charlie 🙂 
    • It doesn't work like that. There won't be differential pricing for tourists and residents at any attractions, no checkpoints nor a requirement to carry one's papers with one at all times. A levy is put on hotels, maybe on Air B&Bs, on a bed per night basis. That cash goes to Southwark. It's pretty easy to administer.
