I see that Boohoo are buying Debenhams and are not planning to reopen the stores, just continuing with the online business. This is going to leave a big hole in a lot of high streets. I used to make a point of looking at one stage, but they have lost a lot of shine over the years. Apparently the online shop attracts 300 million hits a year. I don't really like the online offering either, so I guess that I'm not their target audience any more. I wonder what state the high street will be in when this is over?

In normal times I used to meet up monthly with other GNs at Debenhams Oxford Street for coffee and lunch. I have no idea what will happen to that large unwieldy store. Not quite where one would expect to see very expensive blocks of flats. Maybe the ground floor could be retail- who knows?

Janejugde chelseababy Single lane Bedford High Street? That’ll produce a nice gridlock?

Many years since I lived there but they never thought anything through. ?
