Anyone know what's going on with the Sainsbury's at the top of Brixton Hill? They've taken the signage down and the shop is empty and being refurbished. It'd be great if it turns into something independent.

Also, there's a new and rather odd (but nice) looking new cafe called 'Where Am I? :D) which also sells vintage CLOTHES on the corner of Brixton Hill and New Park Rd (the place where Paulo'z Way used to be.

The menu looks great - Brazilian - but it seems to be closed in the evenings, so I fear it's going to go the same way as all the others....

No idea what's happening with Sainsbury's :hmm:

Yeah, I went past Where Am I last night around 7.30pm and the shutters were already down.

We should have bets on how long it stays as Where Am I :D
 
It's being refurbed.

(Sainsbury's that is. It's 6-7 years old now and they've re-branded somewhat)

I can't see it being a huge success. It's a cut down menu from Paulo'z and the 'vintage' furniture is stuff from the Green Zone up the road tarted up and very expensive

Real Taste (28 Brixton Water Lane) which has been closed a while now seems to have work going on in there. Been painting and fitting going on for a week or so now.

Any rumours? If it is a muffin or coffee shop I will not be held responsible for my actions :D

Italian restaurant according to the other local shopkeepers. Looks a good few weeks away from opening up.

Can't say I was tempted to go in, whereas I always pop in the Green Market to see if there's anything I could use
 
They look quite good for a tenner.. I've only ever purchased one glass jug from there and I thought that was overpriced @ £12, but it was an dinner party emergency
 
I thought I'd repost this cos people may have missed it and it looks fucking ace :cool:

There's a really good exhibition of old punk and ska posters in the 198 Gallery on Railton Road at the moment. Lots of stuff by the Clash, the Beat, Sex Pistols, Blondie etc. There's also a collection of pages out of the NME, Melody Maker, Record Mirror etc advertising gigs and festivals. Well worth a look. I've got a feeling it's only open 11am to 5pm each day but you can see most of the stuff from the window outside.

E2A: http://198.org.uk/index.htm is their website, though not sure how up to date it is.

Cheaper than buying a great big tall planter for a bit of height ;)

£12 for a jug does sound a bit OTT though
