it looks like there might be some grass - there's a triangular area by the 'windrushes' which isn't paved yet..

The Windrush is a river in Oxfordshire, not a plant. Or a tall metal thing.

Ha ha...so those things technically do look more like mobile phone masts than the non-existent windrush plant

Yes. We've been through this on another thread somewhere.

It doesn't does it. Brixton's never really had clothes shops except for the cheapo ones, whatever's in Morleys and M&S.
Next we'll be having a.... (insert name of other shops that don't seem quite right in Brixton)

H&M is a cheapo shop though.

Coming home through Brixton just now I couldn't see the dancing chilli christmas decoration/streetlight adornment. Please tell me it is there and give it's exact location so I can rest easy!
Dancing Chilli?
The sinister dancing Father Christmas is back in action outside Hootananny though.

But it's a very mainstream high street type of cheapo shop. It doesn't seem right in Brixton. It seems right in a shopping centre next to Gap, Zara and FCUK.

The Goose/Ivan's Retreat/place whose new name I can't remember has fake snow (polystyrene balls) blowing in the window

Seems that it's SW9's turn to have the chilli dance for us this year!
I saw it on the left as you go north near the post office somewhere.

Looked to me like it was outside the UCKG church between Stockwell Road (by the Academy) and the next road north - the one way system where buses turn. Just past the police station.
Panic not. Your animated chili exists - and there's a stationary one on the next lamppost too.

We've already got TopShop, Dorothy Perkins, New Look, Wallis, Warehouse, Evans and M&S.

You're making it up. We've only got M&S from that list, haven't we?
they're mostly in Morleys. New Look is its own shop though.

This - there are two.. one dancing and one not moving and a Santa Claus which, at first we thought was doing sit ups, but I think it's actually supposed to be going down a chimney.
Where's the rest of the dancing chillis though?
How long has this store being in Brixton? Seems like decades. Everytime I walk past it looks empty. Not sure how they make money, tbh.
I remember Burtons that was there where the sportshop is now.
Surely Brixton used to have loads of clothes shops - and even in recent years had branches of C&A (I think) and BHS. See the history of Brixton section - http://www.urban75.org/brixton/history/index.html

2.5 decades in my memory. Not just one but two branches. In the same street. (Keep forgetting to check if they are both still there though)

There were 2 units but one is in the few arches that has been closed since the fire a couple of months ago iirc.

Thank you both. Thanks to you I was able to locate the dancing chiili and I feel much better now

It looks to me like Santa's falling down a manhole but, I think you're right, it's supposed to be a chimney.
Were there more dancing chillis before? For the past few years there's only been one hasn't there?

Yeah, I remember Burtons from the riots and C&A before it, but they're loooooooooooooooooooooong gone aren't they
