Up my street

Starting at the corner (to the left) and proceeding roughly northwards, we have an estate agent, the deli, a betting shop --a minicab place, a Turkish florist, the Cypriot greengrocer, a shop selling rather nasty cheap clothes --then a grocery store with a post office in the back, followed by a fishmonger who supplies the Mauritian fish restaurant (Chez Liline) next door. Then there's an internet caf and another cheap clothes shop before you get to the vast bulk of Tesco, the grocery store you love to hate (latest innovation: self check-outs, which talk to you relentlessly).

In the previous block is "The Fabric Store of Stroud Green Road", threatened again with closure, but meanwhile with an eclectic selection, including polyester sheers at £1.50 a metreand some "street furniture".
