Have just seen on list of new Haringey planning applications that The Triangle is being demolished to make way for new ground floor restaurant and flats upstairs. Think it was a matter of time as often very quiet. Sad though.
Pretty sure owners are Londis people who own some of that parade. They’ve also applied for planning to adapt flats above some of those shops.
Wonder what restaurant will be next..

It will be a shame if the Triangle goes. The last meal I had there, just before Christmas was very good. Anyone remember the place that was there before? WXD I think it was called.
"new ground floor restaurant and flats upstairs" sounds worryingly dull.
I have a slight problem with The Triangle. The food's ok, the venue is ok and the service is ok. However, last time we went there was the standard "12.5% gratuity not included" on the menu. When I looked closely at the bill a few days later the waitress had added a 20% tip to the bill. A tad cheeky if you ask me. We've not been back since.

It has a great selection, obviously, but I can't believe how expensive it is, even for fairly standard items, when compared with anywhere on SGR - and I can't believe it's because they have higher costs?
I just asked one of the guys who has worked in Londis for many years if he knows anything about it and he said he doesn't. Assuming he's telling the truth (no reason to suppose otherwise) then the owners certainly aren't sharing this info with their staff.
Londis is just spectacular. If there's pretty much anything I ever need and I want to avoid going to multiple shops I go there. The one thing I miss from Ferme Park Road, even though we're still not too far away on Shaftesbury Road these days.
On our honeymoon we found an amazing locally made sticky toffee pudding.
When we moved to Stroud Green, there it was in Londis.
Does anyone remember when Woody's used to be called Yessim (or something like that)? They had dirt-cheap fresh veggies and nice bread. The bread is still ok, but the veg is nowhere near as fresh and twice as expensive.
