A decent gym. Fusion and EPS or whatever it is are SH**E!


A couple of building societies instead of the dreadful Barclays and HSBC.


Gun club, brothel and a shop that sells those sharp objects you can scatter on the ground to puncture the tyres of the horrific bugaboos!

Bit off topic but I was wondering how the bike shop on ED Road is getting on... I remember when moving to ED a couple of years ago and thought it would be a good business venture as there wasn't one... if only I had the drive, know-how and a bit of balls to do my own thing I could have been in there before them!!!!


Is that sarcasm? Surely between the multitude of corners shops. Pretty Traditional, and the guy next to the ED Warehouse, fruit and veg is covered?


Bakers maybe - I haven't tasted anything amazing from any of the bakers, cheap or expensive (although I'm partial to the bread in the Turkish shop opposite the Bishop)

I second a good B&B. A simple 3 or 4 bedroomed B&B, not a fancy over expensive boutique hotel nonsense, but a good simple B&B. Perhaps if Foxtons were to close down that would be a nice place to have it!


And if everything we all ever needed was in ED we'd have no need to go around the rest of London. London's fab to explore!


OK then so how about a river?

A nice B&B would be a good one - but maybe it would be hard to make it work with reasonable rates, given local house prices.


An indie cinema would be awesome. One which sells warm toffee popcorn, fresh smoothies, and cakes. And beer.


A record shop comes up time and time again, but much as it pains me to admit it, the local record shop we remember from our youths probably isn't a viable business these days - unless you combine it with games, electronics, DVDs, etc.

    • 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.
