A large brand, with national scope, has decided to take a retail space in Forest Hill.

Unfortunately it isn't the most exciting business in the world, nor is it the sort of glamorous brand that will generate a great deal more footfall to other shops (as such), but it does remove an eye sore from our streetscape.

For those who do not drive down our way too often, Topps Tiles has taken over the large 'discount' furniture shop on the corner of Stanstead Road (opposite the Railway Telegraph). It is a great move for them as they will have great brand profile there. Not sure what they will do about parking (always the same question), but it will make that corner a bit more attractive without permanent 'closing down sale' signs.

Now, only a few dozen more empty shops to fill.
