We discussed this shop some time ago and I cannot locate the thread (maybe never made it over to the new format).

Mercury TV close down after decades of trading on Perry Vale (near the station and opposite EJ Carpets). It is a double fronted property and therefore probably one of the best sites in FH, especially when Forest Hill Centra(a)l finally opens. Unfortunately it is on the unfashionable side of the tracks, although I am assured that a few decades ago this side was buzzing with tailors and other skilled shops.

I believe it is up for rent, so I wondered whether anyone had any ideas or contacts for this place BEFORE THE DEVELOPERS GET IT.

I believe that this side of the tracks is beyond the conservation area, and therefore it could, in theory, be converted to residential property as has happened on Honor Oak Road.

I think the size and location make it a perfect spot for something akin to the East Dulwich Deli, or Green & Blue (cafe & shop).

Anyone know what might be happening there or any suggestions for what would be suited to this side of the tracks? After all, it has its own parking and is closer to the Perry Vale Car Park!
