Re: What DO we want on Northcote Road???

I hate to say it but the sites on Northcote Rd are just far too expensive for independent businesses to survive and with too little footfall. I work for a small food company and we have been looking for a shop for 3 years. Our maximum budget for rent is 40k and time and time again we meet sites at 3...

Re: La Cuisiniere

I agree, I think click and collect etc are making it really tough for local high streets. It is very much more enjoyable to leave the house or office to shop. It is a chance to meet local shop keepers and to realise that they are a vital part of the community. Interestingly, there have been three or...

However, her response reflects the di...

Re: Buggy MOT

There is a place called buggy pit stop in Wembly. I have had my buggy fixed there and have seen the wonders they work on the valet service they offer. Quite expensive so for you to work out whether the cost is worth the additional sale price you could fetch if it looks pristine.

Abacus Nursery Balham under new management?

Hello, I would be v grateful to hear from parents who are currently at Abacus. My eldest went there for about eight months when we first moved to the area and then left when she started school. I wasn't madly keen on the classroom setting for the 3yo's but it was for a short time and we survived. My...
