But, funny thing is; I have not gone there for a year or so. Habit I guess. I must alternate with Terry's and El Vergel. All in all, BHS and environs are great for food/drink, and I agree with PP that Starbucks does add more to the street than the defunct phone shop, which even when it was open consigned that portion of the street to retail no-go status.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79441#msg-79441 Wed, 07 Nov 2007 23:48:49 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79417#msg-79417 forum@london-se1.co.uk (boroughpaul) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79417#msg-79417 Wed, 07 Nov 2007 16:55:14 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79391#msg-79391 forum@london-se1.co.uk (mert0380)
Why is it that the likes of Cafe Riva and Nelson's never seem to spot such obvious commercial opportunities? With a slight refit and longer opening hours, one of them could have had a go at it.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79391#msg-79391 Wed, 07 Nov 2007 09:28:51 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79375#msg-79375 forum@london-se1.co.uk (mogoot)
As for coffee quality, Monmouth gets my vote every time. A steaming latte from Borough Market on a chilly weekend is as close to perfection you can get, especially when accompanied by a pork pie. Aside from that, Amano is great for coffees.

While Starbucks adds nothing to the coffee-worthiness of the area, I welcome it because it adds an improvement to a previously dull stretch of street.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79375#msg-79375 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 21:49:15 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79273#msg-79273 forum@london-se1.co.uk (hellsbells) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79273#msg-79273 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 12:16:37 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79270#msg-79270 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Keith McIntosh) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79270#msg-79270 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 12:00:16 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79268#msg-79268 forum@london-se1.co.uk (mert0380)
I would go to Cafe Riva, or Nelson's, but the truth is that because I don't work in the area I do not think I have once, in the year I've lived in Borough, seen either of them open (unless I'm just being really thick and think it looks like it's closed on Saturday when it's not?).

Although I prefer the owner-operator model, as the rents go up in Borough High Street (which clearly they are), a place like Cafe Riva simply cannot survive unless it becomes more competitive. Monmouth's is a brilliant coffee shop, and seems to have managed to get the balance right.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79268#msg-79268 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 11:38:15 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79266#msg-79266 forum@london-se1.co.uk (easyrecall)
As long as Starbucks keeps arrogantly deciding their advertising takes precedence over my right to walk down that side of the street without avoiding their giant litter (A board), I'll use and recommend to everyone Cafe Riva and nelsons just over the road and to the right.

how can a business move into an area, ride roughshod and expect anything other than hostility???? I really hope Starbucks people from BHS are reading this. I've complained to the council but also tohead office (Starbucks is not a franchise operation as I had assumed).]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79266#msg-79266 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 11:22:57 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79229#msg-79229 forum@london-se1.co.uk (mert0380) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/79229#msg-79229 Sun, 04 Nov 2007 09:54:14 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/77734#msg-77734 forum@london-se1.co.uk (boroughpaul) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/77734#msg-77734 Sat, 06 Oct 2007 14:46:13 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/75931/77725#msg-77725 forum@london-se1.co.uk (easyrecall) refurb
open up
then go straight out into the public pavement that you and I pay for and stick an A board slap bang in the middle of it

you can complain to Southwark Council via email about this branch's arrogance here (tho they do send you round the houses a bit sometime)
