More to the point WHY did it open. The English take on the Turkish/Cypriot/Greek kebab is pretty poor in comparison - at least the ones round my way are. Awful! I can't speak for other localities of course.

My research indicates that the form of kebab we're used to nowadays evolved in Germany in the late 70's, and became more widespread in the 1980's. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%B6ner_kebab#History) There's no specific date given as to when the first Kebab Shop opened in the UK. Bayswater (London) "is home to some of London's oldest kebab shops" (http://education.independent.co.uk/higher/az_uni_colleges/article1213488.ece) And that's about all I can find!
