Shoppers and shopkeepers alike are feeling positive about the future of West End Lane in West Hampstead as life slowly gets back to normal with lockdown easing.
Most retailers and venues said they had been busy since reopening and had seen a concerted community effort to support independent businesses.
Kim Morris, manager at the popular West End Lane Books, told the Ham&High: “It’s been really busy, everyone has been super positive and really happy to be back in the shop.
“I feel like a lot of people now realise that they need to use the high street, and if they don’t, they will lose it.
