I'll meet you further on up the road
when I lived in east london I really enjoyed the Idea stores because they were located right in the places people were shopping etc. The one in Whitechapel was particularly great because it located adult education classes, community events, children's services, the lending library, pc access and a very cheap cafe with a good view
the ground floor had big sofa's and people used it just as a space to wait for others - multiple reasons to visit the building
enough space for quiet reading, enough space for adults and children to be themselves and make a noise
I do think there is a difference in atmosphere and footfall between b&q and the present site that probably inhibits more visits - casual impromptu visits
it would be interesting if the area near WN station develops more community resources

Which is the best chippy? Mrs R has spotted one opposite Sainsburys, reckons it could be good. Is it a proper old chippy or a kebab shop in disguise?
Best caff? We had a reasonable fry up in the Italian one next to Sainsburys, Sorrento I think it's called. Anything better?

I like this one better than the one mentioned...just past the station. I've not really had time to check the cafes yet, so will be keeping an eye on the thread

This is by far the best in the area, no doubt at all.

Yes, nearly fell through, literally at the last minute, but we got it. Massive stress and gamble, not sure I'd take such a risk again, but it was worth it and we got there

What a great chippy. First proper chips we've had in ages after living in kebab chip hell for 11 years, missed those crispy bits, and I admire a man who batters his own sausage

So far we've used Gousia on Norwood Road 'cos Mrs R always used them when she lived in Tulse Hill before. They've always been good, but interested too hear of another good one.
The WN caff full English breakfast trial continues. Sorrento is OK. O Girasol less good. Might try the one at the bottom of Harpenden Road next.
Knights Fish Bar has been confirmed as the chippy par excellence.

Not if you're a Brighton fan. I've strayed far too close to Selhurst already, without having the P word on my wall

I like the Electric Cafe, but as much for the ambience as the food. Great toast though.

There's two pages on "up and coming" West Norwood in the Standard today. Nice big pic of St Lukes on Feast day - makes it look quite posh, although the article says the high street is still a bit shabby. References to Adele, being cheap but near to Dulwich, the Feast etc, etc.

looks like the cinema thing is a real possibility and it is Picturehouses who are wanting to open up. What a result that would be!
