Millennium Charcoal Grill Kebabs

Millennium Charcoal Grill Kebabs, 30 Woolwich Road, Borough of Greenwich, London SE10, 2002 • Part of an entire row of Greenwich shops that named themselves after the 2000 millennium. Unusually, this one kept the soon-to-be-dated name; by 2017 it had a smart new black frontage, but was still called Millennium Grill.
