Nevada St Rumours
Suzana asks:
Do you have any idea if the rumour is true that 9 Nevada St -ex book store / antique store, will become a bakery in the near future? It has a To let sign - then changed to Let By. Now its back to 'To-Let' - but not sure if its the shop or the property above?
The Phantom Replies:
No one more than I would like this rumour to be true. That sad little dusty street, given what's on it, its beautiful buildings and its location, should be one of the jewels of Greenwich - instead it's a forgotten backstreet with an almost Dickensian feel, especially at night. Oooh - a proper baker's - lovely. A shop in the centre of Greenwich aimed at local people...
Sadly I haven't heard anything about it - I do hope it's not wishful thinking - someone saying "you know what would be really lovely here..." and the next thing that happens, someone else is reporting it as fact. Anyone else heard this - who can corroborate - or smash - a dream?

Open a bakery when there's already a Greggs in Greenwich? Financial suicide.
I meant a GOOD bakery. Theatre of Wine manages to operate with a Threshers down the road. The Fishmonger, Cheeseboard and Creaky Shed manage to do ok even considering the number of supermarkets. I'd like to think there would be enough of us that would actually buy GOOD bread and cakes.
I can't see it. Even the M&S Simply Food has in-store ovens. I had a very nice baguette from there the other day.
Pay Greenwich rents, get out of bed at 4:00am to start baking, not much passing trade...
Good luck to them if it happens.
Id rather buy from an independant GOOD bakery than from grotty Gregs or bog standard M&S - and you cant get 'home-made' bread other than the cheese shop or the market at the weekends. A bakery not unlike those gorgeous ones you find in France would go down a treat!
My thoughts precisely.
They have just put a sign up in the window advertising for staff for the nevada street deli.....
