    Think there's still a Kennedy's in Beckenham?

    I'd completely forgotten about Beatties, I loved that place as a kid.

    Wimpy - still one in Croydon, but - aside from the joke one at the Valley (which bears no resemblance to a real WImpy) I can't think of another one outside motorway services. Shame, I love Wimpy burgers - ten times better than that old shite they serve up in Mickey D's.
    Pollards - though the one in Deptford high Street might still be there
    Chiesmans - then the Army & Navy - what happened to the Army & Navy?

    C&A is still big in Europe, they only closed down the UK operations.

    My uncle use to be the buyer for womens fashions for C&A in the 70's when it was a bit more up fashionable. He got more tail than heffner back in those because of it!

    Leroy,

    Wimpeys in London

    There's one in Lewisham high street near Nationwide. I have no idea what you see in the place, it's too expensive!

    Wimpy in Bermondsey as well. Bit of an institution there amongst the locals.

    There used to be a drive through one around Lakeside somewhere as well.
