That Wimpy serves pure crap

My great aunt used to skate at Streatham ice rink as a girl. It's a shame they're going to bulldoze it, I hadn't realised.

I skated there about 25 years ago, but decided it was too rough and gave up

Didnt think Wimpy existed anymore. This one should have preservation order on it.

Wimpys our British burger bar toppled by US

I went there some time last year (probably the first time in a Wimpy in over 25 years) and it was shite

yeah, the streatham wimpey is proper minging. fuck knows who eats there...

 

[lang rabbie]

They are rumoured to still serve toasted teacakes!

If Brixton Market can be listed for its historical interest alone, surely the Streatham Wimpy must follow!

There's a Wimpy in Clapham junction also.

I remember going to a Wimpy in Nairobi.. I ordered a curry. Weird menu.

Wimpey are the only UK fast food chain to serve Quorn burgers, and that makes then OK in my book.

Maybe, but have you tried the one in Streatham?

 

[killer b]

the macdonald veg supreme is pretty good, as far as veggie burgers go.

 

[Tankus]

god ..I thought that wimpey had long gone too ......

Bit surprised to see there's no picture of the bank that is now a betting shop. Still, at least the premises is still taking your money

I wonder if I.. err.. knew her.
How old would your great aunt be ?

I don't "do" McD, thanks. Vile places. Full of oiks.

Unfortunately my b/f often has a yearning for a cheeseburger so I'm forced to enter the place.

So call me an oik

Me too.......loved the disco night session, lights down low, Boney M....cup of hot chocolate and a promise!

And Lewisham still has a wimpy....

With the meat in some burgers quorn is certainly a healthy option

I had a birthday party in Wimpey as a kid
Two boys who my mam invited as they were her friends sons tried to batter the poor woman in the Wimpey costume, she had to leg it and wouldn't come back out

She hasn't been with us for some time and this actually would have been in the 30s.

Streatham was dead to me when Pratts and Bluebird Recrords closed.

 

[complience]

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I recognise that. Is it outside Streatham Hill Station?

 

[wiskey]

Streatham was dead to me when Pratts and Bluebird Recrords closed.

I remember going to Pratts as a kid, it always seemed dark and dusty.

Yeah, I know technicaly not Streatham, but I had to get my phone out to take a picture when i saw it.

Streatham Hill isn't technically Streatham?

I used to live in Streatham, still like going down the high road for quite a few things. Until recently one of those things was Purple Cafe but that seems to have been a bit shit the last couple of visits.

 

[g force]

It's the phrase "peddle cycles" that always make me chuckle. Anyhow...good pics of my hood Ed!

 

[boohoo]

Next time you are that way, have a wander down sunnyhill street, the school at the end has some nice old features, and opposite is the dairy and behind that unigate woods. Plus there is the Leigham Arms pub just off Sunnyhill street which looks nice.
