Yep. John Lewis. Pratts of Streatham.
I bought my video recorder from them in the 80s
The shop was an utter rabbit's warren of rooms/spaces.

Streatham High Road was voted 'worst high street in Britain' around 20 years ago. I'm not sure that it has improved much since then.

2 Cinemas, theatre, bowling alley, dance hall, branch of John Lewis, numerous pubs and restaurants.
