Best local newcomer 2010

Time again for the Oscars of the retail world - the Brockley Central Best Local Newcomer award.

Last year, The Orchard was voted best local newcomer by Brockley Central readers, an accolade which has no-doubt proved vital to their ongoing success in 2010, making it the award every business wants to win.

This year, there are five contenders: The Hill Station cafe and community centre in Telegraph Hill, El's Kitchen deli in Ladywell, Bohemia Hair salon near Brockley station and U Gosi Polish shop and Krizz Kutz barbers, both in Crofton Park.

The 2010 winner will be selected via the poll on the right hand side of this page - one reader, one vote. The vote closes on Christmas eve.

So who will it be?

PS - although there have been a number of other great newcomers in areas of BC interest - such as Deptford, New Cross and Nunhead - in order to keep the vote manageable, we are limiting the vote to newcomers from the Brockley, Crofton Park, Ladywell and Telegraph Hill wards.
