Hi Kat, you may have trouble with the planners if it's an additional restaurant. There's a fixed split on types of outlets on LL, so if you're replacing a previous food outlet you may be okay. You should probably check on this before advancing your plans too far!


BTW I love Vietnamese cooking, it's by far the best APac fod for me!

Louisa - Don't think I can afford to buy out the Sea cow ::o

Huguenot - It will be replacing one of the food outlet so should be OK. I'm in negotiation at the moment but they're asking silly money. I can get the same outlet in upper Street (Islington) for the same money but I live locally so I want to bring something new to the community. It's a big gamble, but hopefully there should be enough demand to justify the gamble.

What's wrong with the Sea Cow Louisa? I personally prefer it to the tatty kebab or food and wine - type stores that proliferate on LL?

Mrs Rob, Rob Jr and I go to Hoa Viet once a week - it is (easily) among our most favorite places to eat in London as the food is just fantastic every single time we visit. If you can make a spicy beef pho as good as theirs (and Pho can't, sadly) then we'll see you there...

Please please please yes!!!!


Btw Jerk Rock end of Lordship Lane is definitely on the up, Gourmet Burger Kitchen is there and always looks packed, plus there's Liquorish, posh butchers & fishmongers... Go for it. I adore Vietnamese food and would love a local place.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
