Oddbins coming to Lordship Lane !!

[Pickle]

Yes, Target Arms I think it was called. Reasonably recent history from memory, I think it's only been gone about 5 or 6 years.

[StraferJack]

Target gone longer than that I reckon. 8-9 years?

[StraferJack]

Although this thread suggests you are correct pickle

Found a picture online:

Sure it closed more than 5-6 years ago.

The years all merge into one these days!

There was one open in Lordship Lane until not so long ago.

I can't remember the exact location, but it was in the row of shops somewhere between HSBC and Goose Green.

Where the new French cafe is now, perhaps?

ETA: Sorry Jeremy, just saw your post ....

Yep, site of Boho/French place.

But IMO an "amusement arcade" is somewhere where you play video games, and the place on Lordship Lane was a gambling place.

Either way, my point was that it had closed down, and you don't really see that sort of joint spring up anymore. The bar in Peckham is a bar with a novelty.

Thanks Jeremy, I did indeed mean the Casino type place with fruit machines and people smokin fags outside innit :-)
