How a Brixton pub explains the effects of gentrification in a nutshell

Not a great article is it. Gentrification summed up in a couple of short paragraphs.

Bit of a shame - when I saw the headline I thought it might be a bit more substantial.

The pub might have failed to fit with Brixton's new look, but the white, middle class liberal journalist who wrote the article certainly fits like a glove

also horsesh*t to end with the "I couldn't get a table" line - any time I've walked past the new Mamma Dough pizza place it's been echoingly empty - which IMHO only is a shame as the pizza is fine and the Italian staff pretty friendly. (Yes of course I would rather it was a thriving diverse local pub - just pointing out the poverty of the Indi article.)

That claim is indeed utter bollocks. I've never seen the place packed.

Their pizzas are good but £11 for a takeaway veggie pizza - no matter how good - stings the wallet way to much for my liking.
