Café shows Starbucks the way

A CAFé is expected to open in a shop that proved too hot for coffee giant Starbucks.
Number 115 Regent’s Park Road in Primrose Hill was at the centre of a massive row four years ago when the multinational company had plans to move in.
Actors Jude Law and Neneh Cherry were among residents who backed a 1,300-strong petition pleading with Camden Council to stop Starbucks in its tracks.
They argued that the company did not fit in with the “villagey” feel of Primrose Hill. Starbucks later dropped its plans, lamenting the “animosity” it had met in Primrose Hill.
Planning chiefs are expected to give permission for the building to be turned into a café at a meeting tonight (Thursday).
Objections have been lodged at the Town Hall but the opposition is nowhere near as strong as it was with the Starbucks application.
The new proposals have been submitted by Alexander Markwick, who lives in nearby South Villas and is listed on business records as a director of media firm Newsplayer.
Officials in the Town Hall planning department have recommended that the change of use from a furniture shop should be allowed.
