Yes. I imagine the retail environment is complex and with every change there are winners and losers. The end of retail price maintenance meant the big supermarket chains could undercut small grocers, and specialist shops, the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker Allowing supermarkets to open longer meant the corner shop lost some of its advantages. Changing consumer demographics, the move to the big shop by car (and now on line) rather than walking or getting the bus into town several times a week, put more pressure in small retailers. But against all this we have niche outlets, farmers markets and the like doing well. Comparing Peckham and East Dulwich is interesting, one has numerous fresh food shops offering good value, the other has products generally costing much more, with their own USPs. Shops come and go, trends come and go, and there is always a risk that demand disappears, or there is more competition. Good discussions thanks. To open it up rather than dwell on the retail environment, how do cheese stalls at the Horniman and Herne Hill farmers market fare? Assuming they are still there - haven't shopped at Horniman since it moved from Saturday and recent visits to Herne Hill have been to buy lunch when going to Brockwell Park. -
Hi all, Does anyone know what is going on with the large vacant warehouse right next to the kwikfit? It's been vacant for quite a while now and I am wondering what happened or what is going to happen to it -
Some surveyors / damp specialists are linked to companies that do the remedial work. avoid - these people have one solution which they apply to every damp problem irrespective of its cause. After wasting a lot of money on a big company damp specialist with a useless guarantee I found independentspecialistsurveys.co.uk - His comprehensive report covered everything from gutters to location of furniture and size of ventilators. I would totally recommend him.
