Bit of both, I'd say. It makes perfect sense to make use of retail/commercial space which is "between tenants" for whatever reason. But I'm pretty sure that all this street food and pop-up business is a fad (albeit a fun one) which is bound to fade away at some point.


There certainly seems to be quite a bit of it in Peckham right now.

As long as it stays fresh and slightly rough around the edges, then i'm hoping it's an ongoing thing. Went to an event (smoke & dram ) in a steel yard in Vauxhall a few weeks ago. The yard operates Mon-Fri as a manufacturing unit. Come Fri afternoon they pack away everything, and the place turns into a bar/restaurant for Fri-Sun.


Went to Brick Brewery Peckham on Saturday with Carnell & Co , is that a pop-up ?


Nice anyway

Retail space for creative use is likely to increase so there will be more 'supply'


Demand.....A fad Jeremy, really?


Festivals, outdoor events, streetmarkets have grown massively big 'customers'People are used to it, people have less time to fit multiple activities in, trends spraed downwards, there's been 'pop up' food of sorts for years when demand demanded it - outdoor sports, late night kebab vans/chip vans/, roadsie trailers...even Mr Whippy is a version in away :) ; but the food and variety available has expanded to match change in tastes.


The ultra trendyness may go but a fad? You're joking, it's here to stay.

No I don't think so. Although from what I've seen, I doubt it fits into the plans for redevelopment (which would be a shame... premises and location are spot on)

If it brings fresh new offerings,greater local choice and helps micro start ups get cheap space and some exposure without the usual tie ins..I'm all for it. But from a trend perspective I'm a bit over people trumpeting "pop up!!" like it's wildly new when it's already old hat. Instead I'd just like it to quietly become the norm.

It allows people who want to start their own business the ability to trial it on the high street. Some stick, some fail, but it's lower risk and good for high streets, good for businesses, good for the economy and good for landlords and good for high streets. Oh, sorry, I already said it was good for high streets. Damn, done it again.

You don't think so? When I see something catch on at the rate the whole recent hipster/foodie thing has... food markets, supper clubs, pop-ups, trendy burger joints, etc... surely anything which can become a phenomenon so quickly is inherently faddish to a certain extent? And I don't mean that in a negative way. Our culinary landscape has been irreversibly changed.


Will burger vans and taco stands still be attracting crowds of trendy 20-somethings in ten years time? Seems unlikely.

No because then they will be mid 30s parents waxing nostalgic about these places and paying over the odds to eat the same shit indoors - "Isn't it nice to have a sit down?" - while the new 20 somethings eat bowls of Peruvian 'Chonta' palm-pasta from converted wheelbarrows and Alaskan Moose nuggets in tundra wraps from 50s retro ice-cream vans.

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
