Notes: Formerly a supermarket. Part of it became a restaurant and cafe in 2012 (86-88 High St). At the same time in 2012, the property at 84 High Street, in the middle, was separately opened (by the same owners) as "Cantina", which in 2015 became "Club 88 Degrees" then "Funhouse", both of which are primarily nightclubs. The section at 80-82 High St was renamed as "Memory Box" in 2017, a bar and cafe, although the official address is still the whole building.
