What is happening in Primrose Hill???

Evening Standard released a story about ''yummy mummies" who are the main problem why so many cafes are closing down.

It comes up the matter of posh mummies demands to have more places to sit down with a cup of coffee and have a nice chat on Sunday afternoon. But the story made a enormous switch which comes about rent money and greedy landlords. So who's fault is that so many businesses cannot afford to stay near Primrose Hill?

Apparently, Trojka, one of the oldest and greatest  Russian tea rooms, closed down a couple days ago because of 70 per cent increase in the cost of a new lease. There is nothing about " yummy mummies", it is about landlords who are trying to get the advantage of economy and get as many benefits as they can.

I live in Camden area myself and understand how the place change into a massive Starbucks empire. All over the place there are so many cafes and just couple bars or pubs. The nicest cafes are closing down because of high rent and become a very posh people meeting point. Like Amit Jain, who runs the long-established Shepherd’s cafe, estimates that one in three businesses on the street is now selling food and drink. He said: “I don’t think people realise that soon Primrose village will be cafe village.


In my opinion, the problem is the demand of people who are living near Primrose hill. If there are so many wealth people around then obviously the price of rent will go up and landlords will take as an advantage.

Big and foolish demands taking place but do people think about others? Well, I guess no.
