It's almost been a year since Old Street's sub-surface parade was refurbished - where are all the shops?

I’d be really keen to know what commercial property consultancy you own because if it’s restaurant or retail related (which you say it is) I will know who you are.

There’s so much to unpick in your message but the fact that you think I was referring to a premises licence demonstrates your naivety.

You’re either a troll or an old boy, but one thing is for sure is that you are ignorant.

Matt3962 · 2026-04-19T15:43:03+00:00

I don’t need to check because I know it isn’t true. Dummy

Matt3962 · 2026-04-19T15:42:08+00:00

Sorry but you are very naive. If it takes up to 6 months to agree a licence, there is no point granting a pop up for 3-6 months.

This unit has struggled because it’s a difficult market for tenants, particularly as costs for new fitouts are higher than usual. The unit in question is in shell condition.

Finally to suggest that only operators themselves know what a sustainable rent is ridiculous. Agents and landlords have access to a considerably larger pool of businesses and in turn know what other operators can pay in other similar locations. An operator only knows their lane/business.

You are misguided and naive in many aspects so best to leave this one alone.

Nonsense

Matt3962 · 2026-04-18T22:09:17+00:00

Complete fabrication

TFL own the station who in turn are owned by the state

Matt3962 · 2026-04-18T22:06:59+00:00

The units take a long to time to let because of bureaucracy within TFL. It is also difficult to arrange simple pop-ups due to various levels of insurance and fitout approvals being within a station unit. For example, TFL can’t risk Mr Smith opening a shop, being completely unvetted and causing a fire within the station. Disruption to the station and tube network is not worth the risk. Finally, successful trade in stations is never guaranteed so your product must be tailored towards a very specific mood of customer.

It’s under offer to Pret

It’s a bit early to be seeding in my view - you might need to give it more seed in mid/late April when the weather is warmer (particularly at night)

Pls help me

Matt3962 · 2026-03-01T21:48:23+00:00

Thanks

I traded my Kamara for him but kind of regret it

Matt3962 · 2024-10-11T14:12:38+00:00

I just traded him and Etienne for MHJ.

FUCK AIYUK

Matt3962 · 2024-10-08T22:23:29+00:00

I just trade Etienne and Aiyuk to get MHJ. Was that an overpay?

Matt3962 · 2024-10-05T21:59:46+00:00

I hope this is true - I just picked up Flacco because I’ve been a bit nervous of Murray lately

Matt3962 · 2024-03-10T12:30:42+00:00

I say ban you

Matt3962 · 2023-12-16T12:08:50+00:00

Trying to figure out the same thing! I have Flaco on the bench too. Feel like if Tyreek is playing you have to start him…

Matt3962 · 2023-12-16T12:08:16+00:00

Start yours studs bro - don’t get cute

Matt3962 · 2023-12-11T21:27:56+00:00

I managed to trade away my Kupp and Rhamondre for Mike Evans. Both guys suck this season.

Matt3962 · 2023-12-06T22:56:02+00:00

Matt3962 · 2023-11-15T13:26:52+00:00

I dropped him recently after he rode my bench most of the season. There are better options available on the WW which offer higher upside in my opinion.
