Isn't it about time that Comrade Ken did something to impede the remorseless advance of faceless coffee chains such as Starbucks?http://www.classiccafes.co.uk/RIP.html
Every month seems to bring the news of another great London café being forced to shut (e.g The Tea Rooms, the Piccolo, Sidolis), to be replaced by a drearisome clone establishment. And now I hear that the fabuous New Piccadilly Restaurant of Denman St is due to close at the end of September. This is really a deplorable state of affairs. Pretty soon we will all be living in a Philip K Dick-style nightmare world with interchangeable, indistinguishable shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants.
