No, but like you I am equally as fascinated about this shop. I have lived in Honor Oak since 1998 and only ever seen it open once in all that time.

I actually thought maybe he had passed away until I noticed when waiting at the cash point that objects in the window display get moved around occasionally.

It reminds me of something out of The League of Gentleman, and I often wonder if he's back behind the curtain just waiting for someone local to go in - I've certainly never ever seen any action for at least ten years!

It's a shame because there is an 1980's Eastenders book I want in there that keeps being moved around from time-to-time.
