Things You Look For in Shops?

I think Stanmore 252 is nigh perfect. Short walk from the station, super discreet back entrance, top owners, cute girls, up to date rosters etc

Been out and about to most shops but I can never seem to find the perfect one - if the shop is spotless and fresh the lights are too bright? If it’s clean and well lit there is no back door? Or if there’s everything going for it it’ll have carpet and not tiles or something.

So far for me the closest thing I’ve been to is Smithfield Sakura. Back door, obsessively clean, dimly lit etc. the only thing it lacks is more parking at the back (sometimes when busy it gets full)

What are your thoughts? Or any recommendations for discreet, well lit and clean? One of my punting mates likes brightly lit, and I prefer dim more relaxing lighting. Understand everyone’s got their preference

I prefer an old creaking shop that hasn't been renovated for years where I can smell the pussy. That and respectful management or reception.

Agree I think 252 has almost all bases covered.. they’ve taken feedback very seriously

I like downstairs at SGM (old 5 star) a lot - really cool vibe going in

Bro, I looove that building. So much character in it. Spanish revival interior gives it that real hacienda feel, lol
So many great memories there. Even when Ginza club was dominating I still managed to find myself there enjoying lifetime greatest punting moments.
