Here are a selection of shops from Walworth road. Some still present, some closed down. Each of these shops bring individuality and character to the area and provide a unique service. These shops are what distinguish Walworth road and make it stand out from most roads within London. Unfortunately these shops face closure due to the fore-coming regeneration of Walworth road. This regeneration will destroy the atmosphere and personality of the area and will take away the home in which community knew and grew up with. The remaining residents and shop owners are all that can change what's to come and I hope to make this obvious to the general public to help avoid it happening to the whole city.
All of the shops above no longer sit well with the new corporate brands opening stores on the same street. Their fronts show lack of care with outdated and unprofessional design. Unfortunately it's not possible for some of these shops to replace or upgrade in the presentation and advertising because of budget. Especially with new corportate brands moving in next door taking away their custom. This is why I intend to extend my research into this area and it's services so that I can learn how this area can be improved to help sustain the character of Walworth road.
