Very sad to see Webster's closing. And that no-one wants to take on the business.
Leanderman, shun not the suggestion of John Barnett in Lordship Lane - it is an old skool shop, an independent family businesss, wide range of shoes, and was there long before the ED effect took hold. Also it is up the other end, past the proper hardware shop. And you can park for free in ED, rather than pay the blighted borough Tories to park round Northcott Rd.
And then you could spend the parking money by taking the children to a fabulous cafe for chi chi cake
