To be fair, in its defence, it does boast both The World's End (massive plates of meat) and The Hare and Hounds (La Choza).

I think you're wrong. It's roughish now but doesn't need knocking down at all because London Road has a quality that few streets have. Look above the tatty fascias and you'll see that almost every building is actually very nice. Real quality is there. Lovely Victorians lurk and there are some good interwar facades too. Unlike, say, North Street, it's been saved from ruthless developers by its very tattyness. London Road's day will come - with municipal support it'll be the Upper Street of Brighton one day.

It might improve with the students moving in when the UTC is finished. They'll be wanting to spend some money in their lunch break.

Michael Keehan's old furniture emporium opposite the junction with New Church Road is nice, with reasonable prices and a family connection with the Albion's Withdean years.

Western Road for me. There's very little reason to up there. Full of aimless people wandering around, and many overpriced shops.

I believe the 'private shop' is currently closed for refurbishment. So I'm told.
Absolutely this. I really like London Road, even liked it a few years ago before the gentrification - proper shops and pubs (except The Branch, which is horrible) and the buildings are truly lovely.
Western Road on the other hand ....
London Road is certainly on the way up. There are many shopkeepers trying to make a difference. Look at The Open Market, early days but the good work in there will spread out into London Road and it will improve over the next few years. Need more people with faith and ambition to help with the pace.
