Since 2017

There was a failed attempt to open 'Sunshine Tanning', a tanning studio on the ground floor and a nail bar in the basement. It was only operational for a few months and closed again in 2018. The shop front then had to be completely redone since the plywood used by the tanning studio was not fit for outdoor use. Currently, the shop is up for rent.

2016

For some years this was The Mens Room barber shop, now closed. See Isolarion by James Attlee "Purification". Thomsons Directory 1999 No 7 The Mens Room

1990s

It was 'Sweet Charity', a charity clothes shop, during the 1990s. A photo of the interior from April 1994 is in Marilyn Yurdan's "The Changing Faces of the Cowley Road". Thomsons Directory 1988 and 1995 list Sweet Charity as No 7.

No 7a (same as No 9?)

There appears to be some confusion over exact address and business names at this number.

A 1995 photo by Martin Stott is shown to the right, with the business name AromaLife.
