Its a shit show right now, shops closing all over UK very quickly and suddenly.
Myself am shutting down and leaving the UK but for other reasons. My shop was mechanic focused and just mad in demand all the time with no sign of letting up, but anyone who is retail focused is in a very difficult situation this year, and it will continue.
Not a London shop, but I was saddened to see Harry Hall Cycles in Manchester is closing:

I spent many, many happy hours in there when I was a student in Manchester, and used them a lot when I was working in the north west after graduation.
