lillam re: Lordship Lane - it's simply not true it's all independents except Co-op and estate agents!! What about Iceland? Londis? Gourmet Burger Kitchen? Favorite Chicken? Caffe Nero? William Hill? JoJo Maman Bebe? White Stuff? Cost Cutter? The Sainsbury's Local at the top? These are ALL chains happily co-existing with independent newsagents, pubs and gift shops etc...
