Is BHS about to go the same way as Woolworths?

Was that the one in Montague Place/ Montagues Street?

I used to go in there and try on hats, then look in the mirror and laugh my head/hat off until they asked us to leave

Thanks for starting this post dbboy and what a great photo of the now Primark store in Peckham. I remember it and the C&A store.

Personally, I love BHS in Lewisham and Croydon (check out their home wares not just the clothes, although they do some great swimwear and gifts) although some of their space is for Dorothy Perkins and Wallis and the men's section have other named sections inside the store so wonder what will happen to them if BHS goes? Also noticed over the past couple of years that the Lewisham branch don't have enough staff on the checkouts.

Hope the Lewisham branch don't lose their caf?/eatery to the food section if it comes.
