Network Rail backed down and the eviction is off. We saved our store. Thank you for staying loud.

After 30 years of being on the site, Oddbins is being evicted from its London Bridge store by Network Rail. The rail track operator is desperately trying to spruce up its property empire before flogging it to an overseas buyer in a bid to reduce its debts. This will see the cleansing of hundreds of independent retailers in favour of identikit chain stores that can afford the much higher rents that Network Rail is looking to charge.
Add your voice to the opposition and tell Network Rail it has a duty to the communities in which it operates!

The momentum is undeniable. Network Rail can no longer ignore the community backlash.

What a shame to see this go. All in the name of "progress" I suppose but sad to,lose the more independent stores to cover debts of a probably badly run company!
Network Rail's homogenisation of this area has to stop. It's becoming a glass monster, devoid of character and history.
Well run franchise who support local producers. Their support of The Kernel Brewery when other stores wouldn't helped to kick start the London craft brewery revolution. Best off licence in SE1 by a country mile.
A great utility for working commuters passing through London Bridge and tourists visiting Borough Market. Oddbins has earnt a great reputation by show casing some of the best of Local beer which in turn has pulled people into he area: This shop deserves much support.
The closure of this shop would not only be devastating to Oddbins, but to the many independent breweries who count this shop as a valuable customer as well as a great, prominent showcase for little breweries and small wine producers and distributors.
Possible the best off license in central london
Massive supporter of local breweries from the start. A unique off licence for its location and a real community asset

This is a fantastic store with a great team showcasing products from all over the UK. It provides us as a business with a unique platform to market our products with dedicated staff to introduce and explain them to the customer. It would be a crime to loose such a fantastic location and would have an instant reaction on our sales in the area.
