I'm about to start a rewalking of #walkwalkwalk's 2007 ' Chip Shop Tour of E8'. Can't way to see what's changed. @hilswalk will be simultaneously walking for chips in Prespes, Greece at #MadeOfWalking 1/
@hilswalk Stop one on the route #BroadwayFishBar is closed for refurbishment 😟. Worryingly the sign in the window says 'reopening April 2019'.
@hilswalk 3/ this wasn't on the original tour, a 'ghost' of a chippy on Bayford Street, illuminated sign above the #BeijingPalace
@hilswalk 4/ stop 3 on the tour and at last some chips! I'm sad that they are served in polystyrene, but they are delicious. #TheFamousBritannia
@hilswalk 5/ a new chip shop! @Suttonvegan on Graham road. Bucking the trend in disappearing chippies, perhaps down to the vegan menu options?
@hilswalk @Suttonvegan 6/ this used to be the #StarFishBar on Wilton Way, now it's @PidginLondon
@hilswalk @Suttonvegan @PidginLondon 7/ #MingHai on Sandringham Road is still there. I've arrived just before they open at 5pm, not too sad as I'm not sure how baby portions of chips I can eat today....
@hilswalk @Suttonvegan @PidginLondon The #GoldenStar on Shacklewell Lane has been turned into a house! This was one of the best chippies, the owner proudly told us that he never used potato whiteners....
@hilswalk @Suttonvegan @PidginLondon 9/ oh no! Least expected closure... #Faulkners on Kingsland Road is shut! And looks like it has been for a little while. This was a proper stalwart of chippies in hackney 🙁
