Taco Queen closing

[RalphBlackburn]

Just read that Taco Queen in Rye Lane is closing! So sad - https://www.londonworld.com/news/taco-queen-peckham-favourite-to-close-rye-lane-mexican-restaurant-3808121

They’ve been hit with a rent increase they feel they can’t work with.

It’s a shame, though I understand they’ve got other sites that employees can be offered positions in.

What’s more interesting is, I wonder, the possibility that this is the very early days of more general rent increases on Rye Lane? I can’t quite imagine it ever ending up like Lordship Lane…but then I’d have said that about Lordship Lane twenty years ago…

The Asda on that end of Rye Lane shut down a few months ago, apparently due to rent increases. Its still offered for let as of now.
