MY EDF Cronies.. I don't have cronies. Most people here would probably agree with you.


The Problem is that there are very few actual 'Local Businesses' Businesses' owned by Local people in ED.


Most are outsiders coming to ED for the Rich Pickings.


Places like Franco Manca is not a Local Business. Its a chain...


It's not just a question of supporting Local Businesses. ?


Local Businesses should be supporting Local People by providing what the whole of the local community 'Needs'

and not what a small minority of the local community 'Wants'


Do you see the difference. ?

I'm praying that Late Knights Brewery take it over. Beer Rebellion in Gipsy Hill is easily my favourite bar right now. (There is another one at Queens Road, Peckham that I haven't been to yet) They have a superb selection of ales, burgers and finger food is a fiver a pop. If they were to take it over I'm sure they'd make a success of it.

There was some activity earlier in the week..


Just looked like they were clearing out all the junk and old furniture..


I'm sure we will all know as soon as something is planned..


Then another 9 months before anything is likely to open.


Not really bothered what happens to the place...

The problem is that in more recent times, past 4 - 5 years people did not frequent the place.


Each subsequent 're-furb' seemed to make the place less appealing.


The last attempt at re-inventing the place did not live up to expectations.

That's exactly the problem isn't it... a large, empty, uninviting space. At least some sort of chain would probably have the know-how and experience to make the place feel a bit more warm and welcoming.

    • So let's never do anything that might improve an area, because it will just be dragged down to the level of what's presently there? Is that what you are saying? I don't have the time or the inclination to do the research, but I'm pretty sure that I have read  that when people who had lived in a very run down area  were given  nice surroundings, they appreciated and looked after them.
