Talking to a couple of shop-keepers in and around Dulwich and Forest Hill the prevailing view is that shops with parking outside/nearby are more successful.
Even if this is not true (ref Olly's stats) the shop-keepers themselves will migrate to a location that has parking.
In some ways the perception is the reality- rent hike, no parking- stay or move?
Most would opt to move in that situation, even if the shopper footfall (according to the stats) remained the same.
