2000s

This was Cafe Milano. A photo of the cafe can be seen here..Although they featured the Italian flag, it seems to have been run and staffed by Russians.

Before that it was the Globe cafe/bar with dancing in the basement. In 1998 the upstairs floors of No 92 were squatted, and it was here that the meeting took place to plan the occupation of the former Oxford LMS station. The building where the Said Business School now stands was occupied from May to September 1998 in protest against the 6-lane junction, the felling of trees, the removal of a listed building and the questionable source of Wafiq Said's fortune.

1980s

This was 'The Prince of Bengal' Indian restaurant, still there in Thomson's Directory 1995.

In the mid 1970s shortly after the Penultimate Picture Palace was opened by Bill Heine, his wife opened a pancake restaurant opposite, in no 92. It was painted black to match the cinema. The chef was from Yugoslavia, called Dragan. In April 1976 she changed it to a poster shop "The Silent Screen".
