I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's in Theobald's Road. I had no idea. -

yes that's the one! it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's. it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff. I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago. And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street -
Sometime in the mid 80s, the first incarnation was on Peckham Rye near the new old Tesco’s -
Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked bread or rolls or croissants or something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
