Sharing this here and on the Herne Hill thread as I know people that live there and the way they're being treated is frankly disgusting:

Thanks for the heads up.
OMG! Idris Elba has just knocked on my front door canvassing for the Green Party. I got his autograph. Good start to the day.

There's actually an Idris lookalike who drinks in the Railway (Tulse Hill).
An update on the fallen tree.
I have photo's but can't upload any images even when resized to a postage stamp.
Anyway, I asked the tree surgeons if i could have a piece of the tree and they said "take your pick (no pun intended), whatever you can carry."
I told them i would be back in an hour or two and they said "we'll cut you a nice piece and leave it on that bench if we are gone before you come back."
They were gone when I came back and some fucker had nicked my bit of tree.
ETA - Yeah, I know they didn't put a note on it saying "To Dexter lots of love The Tree Surgeons" but it's a sad day when you can't leave a bit of tree on a bench.

Isn't 418 Plan B?

Possibly but the old Jeans Corner shop is 418b
incidentally the change of use comes courtesy of Crown Properties who were also behind the proposed bar/restaurant where Mothercare/Barnado's is

I thought I recognised the name. Does anybody know whether they are in any way connected to Plan B?
Also, isn't Mothercare/Barnardo's 414/416?

don't know about mothercare/Barbados address but they are all in the same block so possibly the same landlords. the fact that CP have finally secured change of use makes me wonder if there is a high profile client eager to establish a Brixton presence.......Jamie Oliver's Jerk shack for example
