Old Warden isn't exactly in the centre of town. Most people I would suggest commit to travel quite a distance to visit on an air show day or to visit the museum.
In the 30 years of travelling to Old Warden I have never once visited just for the shop or cafe.
No, maybe not but you like me are not a "local".... I am sure there are "locals" who will drop by to use the café, meet friends etc. Also mention was made of cycling/motor cycling clubs who arrange to meet there. The idea just seems poorly thought through.
