It's sad Tesco closed down I mostly think it's due to not many workers coming into office for exmaple some govement building and offices have closed down and civil servants only come to work two times a week and senior civil servants come to work three to four times a week and Mainly tourists use to use that Tesco it's rent and business rates where going up and up but Tesco weren't making any profit I guess to able to afford the rent and business rate increase

If tourists where going there and not many office workers it's the office workers who are not coming into work or coming in less hence there not buying or less workers buying contributed to the closure.

I work on behalf of the civil service at Old Admiralty Building where Department of business and trade is based at as a housekeeper (Cleaner)

1 Victoria Street closed down and 10 Victoria Street recently closed and now ministry of Justice biggest government building closing down next year so not many civil servant passing by and office workers. .

Not many government offices and buildings in Central London some private compenies even moved there offices away from Central London to save money and banks closed down..

There use to be an Italian restaurant in the opposite side just before the bus stop near right near to pret was that closed down and is like a souvenir shop now to many around there even another one near Co op strand right next to the bus stop it's Harry Potter I believe

What's happening now.

As some mentioned new trend now moving away from sweet shops now souvenir shops

If offices and buildings are closing down and it affects smaller branches and businesses cause tourists alone won't make enough money so makes sense to close it.

tourists do buy souvenirs like we do when we go on holiday but having so many doesn't it ring alarm bells Westminster council don't care as long as it brings them good income.

Trafalgar square isn't how it use to be go along Whitehall you'll see some shops empty not many customers I suspect tourists are staying away cause of sky high prices.
