Graciosa Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I know the weather was very nice yesterday and that will make a difference but Lordship Lane seemed to be very busy yesterday. Pleanty of people and lots of the shops seemed quite busy. Maybe people are starting to spend again.

themaninblack Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I do hope so. If I knew an ounce of how to run a restaurant I'd buy it myself.I love their food!

Cassius Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Wonder if Tas would be interested - I really like their food (AND they actually do Pide) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7-lordship-lane-shop-gossip-lounged/page/7/#findComment-182183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMacGabhann Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Tas about 5 years ago were ahead of the game - of late they have expanded too much (I reckon) and the food has taken a hit in quality. Quite a big hit. It's still decent... but not what it was Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7-lordship-lane-shop-gossip-lounged/page/7/#findComment-182194 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassius Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 What I really don't understand is if someone dislikes so much about a place, why BE there. ED is not perfect - nowhere is, but I'd rather be in ED than in Dalston, or alternatively than in somewhere really chi chi like Richmond. There are lots of shops I don't go in on LL - some are too expensive, some sell products I don't like or are not interested in, but I'd rather there ARE shops rather than empty shop fronts. In Devon where I originate from, Torquay has 46% empty shops. Just be glad that we are not like that (yet) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7-lordship-lane-shop-gossip-lounged/page/7/#findComment-182202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisa Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Cassius, ED and a predominantly rural location in south Devon surely cannot be compared in terms of shopping? I mean Exeter for example is considered one of the biggest clone town shopping centres in the whole of the UK and yet the environment is just really amazing and buzzing - it isnt always about whether the shops are independent or chain, the state of the town centre and the people who frequent it make the big difference, along with decisions made by local councils and government. I agree though that I would rather see the shops in business than out of it.Louisa.

Cassius Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well actually Louisa until recently Torquay (being full of middle class snobs AND chavs !!!) had a huge variety of shops - from Greggs and Pound shops all the way to chi chi boutiques that would equal Mrs Robinson for range and price of clothes. I used the example merely to illustrate how lucky we are in LL to still have a busy and thriving shopping street (even if some of the shops are not to your particular liking)I would suggest that Exeter is buzzing more because it has a very good University rather than anything else.

Louisa Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 The square around the Cathedral in Exeter is really nice though on a warm summer day. Some lovely restaurants and tea rooms around there. I was last in Torquay in 2007 and I found it to be really busy to be honest, I know that the collapse of Woolies did damage the high street recently though, unlike in a London street the death of Woolies meant that many local places went under too. Shame really.Louisa. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7-lordship-lane-shop-gossip-lounged/page/7/#findComment-182224 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Tas is pretty average IMO. It's inexpensive and serves its purpose, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for.
