@AriariLei @Mercianwarrior1 @BellaWallerstei @Telegraph Wow! Actually, you’re right! A territory that emerged following the 1948 Arab–Israeli War as a region occupied and annexed by Jordan till 1967, is related to a 19th century residential street in London on the bank of a railway line from 1872. How could I have missed it before! 🤪

@AriariLei @Mercianwarrior1 @BellaWallerstei @Telegraph That’s literally the definition of coincidence 😂 “A remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection.”

@AriariLei @Mercianwarrior1 @BellaWallerstei @Telegraph Those roads are ‘literally’ named West Bank and East Bank because they are on the West and East banks of the railway line, which opened in 1872 😂

@hcknyrbl I referred to other shopping streets in the area, beyond Church St. Vibrancy is subjective. I bet someone people will claim the area was “more vibrant” in the 70s when there were derelict buildings, boarded-up shops, and there were sewing machine repair shops in Church St :)

@hcknyrbl You'll find pretty much the same low percentage along High Street, Stoke Newington Road, and Green Lanes between Newington Green and Church Street. The reality is very different from that of a dystopian ghost town.

@hcknyrbl and they are typical of a shopping street. 100% commercial occupancy rate and no shops for sale at any point is unrealistic. You can count the shops that are vacant or up for sale in the street out of the 116 on one hand :) that's very good news!

@hcknyrbl As I've explained, turnover rate of shops is an aspect of a shopping street and has been consistent at about 50% over 10 years since 1890. There were always a handful of vacant shops in Church St and a few for sale but of the total of 116 commercial units, that's very low number

@hcknyrbl 7 - Vacant recently after 6 months pop-up
60-2 - Vacant very recently
71-3 Events/Market venue
115 - Vacant since 2022
119a - Being refitted 134 - Vacant since 2023
138 - It's a yard
174 - Shop is open
175 - Vacant since 2018
177 - Shop is open
179 - Vacant since 2016

The newly redesigned Nevill Road/Allen Road junction is getting a lot of love from the council’s Streetscene team. t.co/yjDE9rDyyI

@hcknyrbl 111 of the 116 shops are occupied. You claim some aren’t “really open” or trying to sell the lease yet you haven’t provided any numbers and names to back that claim. Even if you do, it won’t be significant to count as a trend I’m sure.

@hcknyrbl 50 years ago Allen Road had 50 shops, today there are 4. 50 years ago Church Street had the same number of shops it has today. It’s in a Conservation Area so shops won’t turn into flats and commercial occupancy is at 96% = Reasons for optimism.

@hcknyrbl The street has been a vibrant and busy shopping street since the 1840s and is constantly changing. It has survived all those years, so unlike you, I remain hopeful and optimistic about its future. Enjoy the below👇 x.com/HistoryOfStoke…

@hcknyrbl 111 shops in Stoke Newington Church St of 116 total commercial unit appear to survive those seasons :)

@hcknyrbl Spring and summer = Busy weekends. Very simple :)

@hcknyrbl What makes you say that? Have you been to Stoke Newington Church St in recent years on a sunny weekend when it’s absolutely packed? It’s quite the tourist destination these days. In comparison, weekday trade has always been lower, which is expected. Church St isn’t Oxford St.

@hcknyrbl Even if footfall in Church St increase by 25% I doubt you’ll be able to find coffee for less than £3 anywhere. Local coffee shops didn’t end up with £3.70 because they felt there isn’t enough trade. I remember a pint was £3 on average in most pubs once by the way! :)

@hcknyrbl I don’t think Stoke Newington is comparable to Dalston and Hoxton. It’s at a different stage in terms of gentrification and with two parks, two reservoirs and a village-like shopping street of 116 shops as well as 6 pubs, it has a different character and vibe. Some like it! :)

@hcknyrbl Well, when an area has a lot to offer in terms of amenities, transportation links, character and so on more people want to live there compared to areas that aren’t as desirable. Maybe some people even think Stoke Newington is vibrant! :)

@hcknyrbl Does selling coffee for £4 (by the way, where's that?) have nothing to do with the increase in overheads in recent years due to macroeconomics? Did you read the argyle about the closure of Hub where the owners mention post- Brexit increase in costs for instance?

@hcknyrbl Out of curiosity, what areas in London or beyond do you consider to be the sort of “vibrant” areas you argue Stoke Newington used to be? Do those kind of areas still exist in 2024? Thanks.

@hcknyrbl The bottom line for me is that there'll always be people that love the area as it is, those that think it was better in some point in the past, but the reality is, compared to many parts of London and the country overall, it has a LOT going for it, and there's demand to live here

@hcknyrbl Have you counted and compared over the years? :) it's your highly subjective observation and as such different people will have a different experience and take on things. I know people who say the area is far better and vibrant now than 40 years ago. Just their opinion.

@hcknyrbl The turnover rate of shops in Church St has been 50% on average over a period of a decade since the 1890s. Businesses often change hands or owner. Nothing new about that. 5 businesses for sale? There are 116 in total in Church St and 149 in the High St. x.com/HistoryOfStoke…

@hcknyrbl Yes, that may happen, but how many businesses are you referring to? can you be specific? Is it 1-2 or a something that could be described a trend or phenomenon?

@hcknyrbl Vibrant in what sense? The annual Stoke Newington Midsummer Festival is a great example, but that was an event once a year. The area was perhaps a bit more arty, quirky, edgy but I don't think it is less vibrant now. Just a bit different. There's still a lot of things happening.

@hcknyrbl Which ones? Can you be specific otherwise it's just a vague impression. The one I know of that are 'stuck' with a lease is still trading.

@hcknyrbl I bet some people in the 80s said Stoke Newington isn’t as vibrant as it was in the 50s and some people in the 50s said it wasn’t as vibrant as it was in the 20s and so on and so on. Very high commercial occupancy rates, a lot of events, community events, busy parks = Vibrant IMO

@hcknyrbl To be sure you just need to count. Here’s the data for Stoke Newington Church St: 111 of the 116 commercial units are occupied. That’s 95.69% so 96% in fact. I can try and get you the other streets or you can just count as I do and see for yourself :) bit.ly/amirstokey

@hcknyrbl Can you be more specific? Commercial occupancy rate in Stoke Newington Church Street, Stoke Newington High St and Stoke Newington Road is very high at around 95%. You just need to count the overall number of shops the empty ones. People tend to focus on the 5% empty ones.

@hcknyrbl What makes you think that?

Perceptual Shop Amplification (PSA) is a phenomenon where people overestimate the number of certain shops, attributing an amplified presence due to the character they impart to a specific location. You see that in Stoke Newington with artisan bakeries and cafes for example.

@HUChrisLL Businesses open and close in a shopping street all the time for many reasons with some lasting months and other decades. A new bike shop just opened a few months ago in Stoke Newington Road not far from the one that closed a while ago.

@HUChrisLL In my experience when people mention “artisan bakeries” sarcastically in the context of Stoke Newington they refer to those they consider “middle class and overpriced” which they associate with sourdough, rather than traditional Turkish bakeries in the High Street.

@HUChrisLL Yet some people would have you believe Stoke Newington’s commercial landscape is dominated by artisan bakeries (there are only 2, with one being a social enterprise), cafes (only 8% of Church St and 4.5% of the High St). There are more nail bars, Pound shops and takeaway outlets.

@dl9393524760035 No idea. Try to find out and let us know!

@dl9393524760035 I recommend emailing and asking your local councillors.

@dl9393524760035 It’s not a “no entry” sign. It’s “no motor vehicle” sign. It’s been part of the Highway Code since 1964. Drivers that don’t know what road sign mean shouldn’t be behind a wheel. Also for your information, fines from LTN enforcement are used only for transport-related projects.
