191 Bermondsey Street

Does anyone know what this building is going to be? Recently been painted black and had new windows across the ground floor. It's next to Pizzaro.

My mate's wife's hairdresser said it is going to be a Korean restaurant.

*taps nose* in the know

Great, another restaurant. More bins, more noise, more people.

Great, another restaurant! Look forward to having a Korean place locally

Bermondsey Street is very much an entertainment area first, those lucky enough to live very close by would not be surprised there are restaurants, people and noise

Sounds great hope it’s true

Maybe you'd prefer to live somewhere without such amenities that people might enjoy?

Why would you live in Zone 1 London if you can't stand noise and people? I just don't get it, are you forced to stay here against your will or something?

Great to hear another restaurant launching, hopefully something independent will take the place of Via Bermondsey too.

It didn't used to be. When I first moved here, it was pretty peaceful, with only a few restaurants & Delis and the Woolpack. With the influx of new builds and offices in the area, the population has swelled, along with the noise. I think i'm perfectly entitled to a moan, thank you.

You live in central London. Zone 1. What did you think would happen? Move if you dislike it so much. Majority of the people in the area welcome independent additions like this.

Great for the local community and great for Bermondsey Street to have a Korean option.

Goldry, et al, you don't speak for the "local community" and can't make assertions like "[the] majority of people in the area welcome independent additions like this". It is unfortunate, but this forum and the views expressed hereon certainly aren't representative of the "local community" either.

Tee, you are entitled to a moan!
