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.
The first MacDonalds to shut down since their introduction to the UK, was in SHR.
And yet, when I was a kid, SHR was regarded as 'Little West End'.
2 Cinemas, theatre, bowling alley, dance hall, branch of John Lewis, numerous pubs and restaurants.

Yup, dinner and dance places were (for me) part of its unique vibe because they seemed so out of place. How that becomes ‘Worst High Street’ bad, I don’t know.
