Station Hotel in Welling which was mentioned earlier in thread has had planning approved for a Tesco Extra and building has been gutted ready for refurb.
Criminal when I think back to the hazy hedonistic nights that I had the fortune to enjoy back in the 70/80s.
Nationwide Building society - at least if you're living in most of the SE postcodes (oh, they've kept the titchy branch in Eltham open, whoopdedoo!) Gits.
There was a toy shop in the late 60's in Lakedale Road called Ali Barbers, next to the Fire Station. My Dad used to take me there after Saturday morning swim at Plumstead baths.

Inbetween Tewson and the Fire Station, I thought it was next to the fire station, pretty sure it was. My Dad lived in Tewson Road as a boy, number 14 just near Smiths corner shop.
Remember the news paper seller outside the Volunter pub? A dwarf with lumps on his head. Robert Ayres the bakers was next to the pub.

Thinking about it, I think the shop on the corner of Lakedale & Tewson was called Dingles.
I live in Surrey now so am not sure if it is still there, but is Nuxley Toys in Bexleyheath still around?
That shop was piled top to bottom with toys, and I remember the bins in the middle that had the pocket money toys (guns etc) that I always used to raid.
murrays meat market in woolwich, dad would march us down there on a saturday when they would be getting rid of everything,
woolwich market, folkestone sunday market, the guys who would have a massive trailler with everything you could imagine for sale, would always have a microphone round his neck doing the sales guff, in argos these retail for 20 quid, im not asking 20 im not asking 15, 10 quid and its yours, me mum would then hold up her tenner and one of his runners would come over take the money and give you the product, normally some kind of new wonder siscors or non stick saucepans, as a kid always remember the having the most amazing looking toys normally big jeeps or flashy robots but never watched long enough to see if he actually sold them.

Not forgetting The Carpenters Arms, The Crossways and The Yorkshire Grey in Eltham too. There was also a little wine bar called C&A.
Yes m_ l _c it was called Warrens. Poor bloke in there who had a badly disfigured bottom lip.
Ladbrookes sports shops on corner of Passy Place was also a good sports shop when it first opened. The late Bobby Moore did the opening honours.
