OK, someone somewhere must have some advance news on what is likely to happen to some/all of the shops on Lordship Lane that are currently standing empty. Not including the refurbs (eg Caravan, the Chandaler shop/tea room) and the new shops we already know about (White Stuff, the posh gymn) there seem to be a fair few empty premises at the moment. What does the next phase of ED look like?!

nah, they're still going for it. There was a delay for some reason which meant the White Stuff shop fitters missed their slot to work on it so had to go off to another job. Back in August I think. Hopefully the Estate agent who is in charge of the property will get it tidied up in the meantime, I've written to them twice about it but nothing has been done.

Someone posted about it the other day... they will sell various environmentally friendly goods.


> And is the Vietnamese definitely happening?

Again, someone posted on here saying that they were definitely opening one soon.


> Also, whatever happened to Bombay Bicycle Club, I thought they were supposed to be coming too?

I also thought that was a definite... maybe they did some research and realised there were already 87 curry places here?

I went to look at the former Unwins shop on LL and want to turn it into a toy shop. It's very run down though and the rent is very high I think thats why it's been empty for a while now.


Anyone like the toy shop idea? I want to import interesting toys from US as everything here is so samey

Use to be a great toyshop on ll before it was sold and mon petit chou were born,it was a great toy shop and people use to come from miles around for it.Great idea.Having said that importing from the states may not help with the whole carbon footprint recycling initiative we are trying to encourage.so maybe look at local or uk based companies.

Its not as easy as lower offer because there's a 3 bed flat upstairs which isn't separated from the shop itself so you'd really have to live there or carve up half the shop to create its own entrance. Also it needs thousands spending on it before you could even open up as there's no heating and its all in a very poor state of repair.


Think I'll wait until a better site appears - is the Starchey Gallery a permanent fixture on Northcross Rd?


Btw, shipping costs are for shipping not airmail

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
