And it would be a real shame if Floral Hall goes - that place is the heart and soul of West Norwood, as far as I'm concerned.

We boycott tescos because it got rid of their stall outside.
Do people know Kate winslett got her wedding flowers from there?

"They aim to keep as many of the original features as they reasonably can including retaining the first row of urinals in the Gents, with shelves between each one so that people can sit at them with their laptops."

They're by the entrance to the Tesco car park.

I'd always assumed they were toilets because the entrance has just that look. I never thought they'd be reopened though.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
I looked at the houses by the toilets, they were new builds....but the toilets infront, and tesco next door, put me right off....the toilets had become like giant rubbish bins.....good value for money, but in a shit place.....also didn't wanna be woken by Tesco deliveries every day.

Ithink we can all see why the toilets closed, their traffic lights were out of order. Must have been chaos down there!

The Roast is excellent. Not cheap but definitely nice
I had it myself last week.You might want to think about booking as it can get busy.

Thanks my dearest! 3 meat eaters and 1 veggie, did you try both? Will definitely book...

No idea on the veggie roast I'm afraid but I've tried various of the meats and they're always good. I'd be surprised if it was a crappy veggie roast but pubs can be surprisingly awful at them sometimes.

The meat, vegetables and gravy were nice. The veggie thing was awful. I dont even know what it was! It looked and tasted a bit like shredded wheat. The roasties weren't good either. Hard and dry not crispy and soft inside like they should be. I think they needed more variety of veg too. I rate the railway roast above the GNW any day.

Update on the GNW
The starters were really good (the puy lentil salad with blood orange and beetroot were a clear winner - will try and recreate at home!)
My meat eater friends had pork belly and duck - duck voted the best. The roast spuds were excellent and all the veg very good and plenty of range. Nice light Yorkshires too
The veggie option - billed on the menu as fondant celeriac was - well the same as the meat eaters without the meat and with a tiny bit of mushroom gravy. The fondant celeriac was basically 2 small chunks of celeriac (like small roast spud size), a bit burnt and that was it!!! Quite frankly I felt like a second class citizen (much to the amusement of my fellow carnivore diners of course). I think my option was about £3 or 4 pounds cheaper than the meat ones, but at £13 odd a bit steep.
I shared my disappointment with the waitress who said she was sorry and would feedback to the chef/management. OK fair enough, but nothing taken off the bill.
Deserts were OK, probably didn't need them but I was feeling very sorry for myself by that point....
Nice space and friendly service, but not a place for vegetarians sadly....

That's shit sparky. They really need to sort out the veggie option.
I noticed that! I am not sure I will ever use the shop itself, but it has an ATM which is great if the Co is shut. Otherwise it would have been a trek to the Post Office because the one on Station Rise charges £1.89 or some such rubbish.

The g7 shop (Tulse hill)has one for future ref.
The shop is handy for me as I use that gym and it's 1 minute from my house. Ok for stuff you've forgotten at the supermarket. The staff were very friendly too.
The gym is excellent too. Really handy and fully equipped. They even have 'virtual' classes. I love to dance so I can go in and use the dance room on my own following a virtual dance class! I'm very chuffed.
