• HERE we go again – the Samuel French theatre bookshop being closed by massive rent rises (February 24).

Now it’s to join the Popular Book Centre, Vintage Magazine shop, Alternative Bookshop, Janus Bookshop, Collets, Cinema Bookshop, etc.

Why can’t Camden put a preservation order on it?

Government should limit business rate and private rent increases to no more than10 per cent per year.
