This survey is SO flawed its ridiculous! So a high street as bad as Deptford scores higher as a better place to shop than the likes of Cambridge, Kingston and the like. Its based on the No. of independant stores, which could mean newsagents, pound shops, budget stores, fried chicken shops etc etc..

I saw a presentation by the company who came up with these findings as part of my work - and I was not sold on the 'mathematics' at all..
