At some point between October 2013 and April 2014 a sign appeared in the window <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/13818780695/ photo]</small> stating that "cupcakes cannot be purchased from this store" and redirecting people to their kiosks in [[Locale Centrale|Centrale]] and at Southside Shopping Centre in Wandsworth. According to this sign, the High Street premises would remain open for placing orders, collection of pre-booked orders, enquiries, pre-booked cupcake parties, and cupcake decorating clubs (half-term breaks only).

However, as of August 2014 the front window was boarded up and the door was papered over <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/14918795422/ photo]</small>, suggesting that Just Beautiful Cupcakes had vacated the building.

However, Blue Mountain Cafe closed again some time between April and July 2015.

Stationery and office supplies shop on the High Street.

There's also another branch on George Street.

As of November 2012 this branch was advertised to let and under offer, but as far as we know it continued trading as a stationery shop during this.

In January 2013 a company called Just Beautiful Cupcakes was granted planning permission to use the premises as a bakery and coffee shop. We aren't sure when the changeover from stationers to bakers is likely to happen though.

Existence last checked in February 2013.
