the shop was never there

[baxterlad1]

The shoe shop has been there for 150 years, it's called Mens Traditional Shoes

171 Camberwell Rd

London, SE5 0HB

020 77034179

A recent review of the shop said... "An Oasis of Normal!‎ - William‎ - 4 Feb 2009

This traditional shoe shop is as locally 'London' as anyone would wish. In an unspoiled part of town it remains unspoiled,

This traditional shoe shop is as locally 'London' as anyone would wish. It is certainly my favourite shoe shop in town!"

Hello Hellokatty88

Pleased to say the shoe shop is still going strong, it's just the opening hours can be a bit erratic

Alway's best to call Fred at the shop before visiting 020 7703 4179

How is this clip an example of that?

Nice piece, and a BIG thanks to Gary for getting through 3 minutes without saying 'Back in the day'

Does anyone else get annoyed when you get these middle class home county born people, who go about in poor areas and claim they are diverse, and trendy, yet when they move there, they don't interact with the locals, or the community
