I went into Crouch End for the first time in ages last weekend and was really struck by the number of shops that have shut recently - Woolies we all know about, but the furniture shop (Myers?) next to it has also closed, and the premises on the the other side has not found a new owner since the cafe that was there shut six months or so ago. These are just the most obvious examples, there are quite a few others on the roads leading into the Broadway (including a bookies, perhaps the one positive note!).
I don't know what (if anything) this says for Harringay - I know we have a lot of empty premises too but I don't think we have such a large single stretch of empty shops looking so dismal. But I have often wondered about some of the larger shops like Disneys and how they keep going.
