The Woolwich Bank closing

[Louisa]

As a customer of the Woolwich for the past 20 years, I was sent a letter yesterday explaining that the final phase of the Barclays/Woolwich merger were taking place over the next few months and my local branch would be closing. Does anyone have any ideas what will be replacing the bank on LL? It is quite a big unit and has the potential to be anything from a restaurant to clothing outlet.

or an estate agent

or M&S Food

or Starbucks

[snorky]

We need more estate agents. and bettting shops. and maybe somewhere that sells only Black items , to counter the white items shop.

[Louisa]

we have a butchers, the bakers.. how about a candlestick makers?

Where is Rod piffle when you need him ?

[Mark]

A NatWest would be good

Hopefully a designer baby clothes store.

"Hopefully a designer baby clothes store"

The chattering classes have embraced Jonny Bodens fantastic mail order service - paying out large sums of money for Baby clothes is considered a bit "chav", a bit bling

[Fear 'n boozin]

a strip joint.

oof

The bellend resedent action group ( BRAG or whatever ) kicked off big time about a lap dancing bar on peckham High st and the application got withdrawn - I cant imagine the reaction if someone has the gall to go for this on LL.

Ok, in that case another gastro-pub.

Well, the Bishop isn't far off on a Saturday night.

I'll mostly be missing having a cash machine on that side of the road (even if it does try its darndest not to actually bother with the cash element of its existence).

How about an 18th Century style Molly House?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Is it too small to be an independant cinema?

Most banks tend to be converted to bars but even I am sated with them now

[mockney piers]

cinema would be great, an other matter whether an independent one could flourish.

I'm with F'n'B ;-)

Short of that, independent music shop, but same issues as above (the cinema, not the lady bar).

Pink Pound gone large

[TJS]

M&S Please Please Please

[Fear 'n boozin]

In the interests of equality, maybe it could be a molly house on alternate days.

Illegal smoking den!!!!!! With stripers and gambling of course >:D

A Strip Club on LL - that made me laugh!! Too far away from the City methinks.

Massage parlour maybe?

Lidl or Nettos? They would fit in well ;-)

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

I'd love a Lidl's on LL so I wouldn't have to go all the way to Peckhell. Lidl is my favourite shop, its cheap and there is always a fight in the queue at rush hour!

Beckenham is posh, and even they have lidl on the high street!

Only small parts of it Louisa, when was the last time you went up the High Street? They still have a few pubs like the old Plough and Forresters yobs getting lairy, fist fights at closing time etc etc.
