What made the blood of that area has been gradually removed and killed by having musical venues closed (Denmark street for instance) to make room for Starbucks and Primarks, so it is no surprise that sooner or later, there would be a bill to pay, which is exactly this: a soul-less street.

Agree totally with this. It's been exacerbated by the Crossrail work at Tottenham Court Road, which seems to have completely cut out the heart of the area - related to the issues at Denmark Street and elsewhere, like the Astoria.

And covid finally killed it. There’s what, two remaining music related shops there?

Denmark street was so good, cheap venues with quality bands like the 12 bar. Is it true that the music shops are moving out too. It was always on my must visit location when when I went to the West End.
