Letter: Briefly

WHAT WILL Isabel Berwick do, we wonder, once she has exhausted writing about "crunchy" areas in central London ("Things can only get better", Real Life, 16 August)? We suggest she investigates "chewy" outer London areas such as Woolwich and Catford. She can delight in the conversion "potential" of their launderettes into the Seattle Coffee Company and their "near run-down secondary shopping streets" into "restaurant rows".
