Thanks for the pics Dexter, They bring back some fun childhood memories.
If anyone is any doubt that night time along Coldharbour Lane is a lot, lot busier than it ever was, check out this photo of the massive Dogstar queue at 11.40pm last night. It was just a usual club night there and that queue stayed long for hours.
I would be in no mood to party if i had been in that queue.

I suggest dropping in when the school is open - ask for the school secretary. If this clashes with your working hours etc, use snail mail?

The Brixton Pound is a local gimmick. "I don't think it makes much difference,” he said. (Tony Benest- Brixton Wholefoods)
He pointed to Brixton Village, a trendy complex of restaurants and cafes in the area, as symptomatic of the problems with the local currency:
“The people in Brixton Village are very keen on the Brixton Pound. It’s a bit like a comment I read in an article about Brixton Village: ‘Saving the economy by people selling coffee to each other’.”

This is also my opinion of the Brixton Pound.

I had to go to north London today - it was horrible.
Quite aside from the fact a friend has just died, Ms Hatter feeling unwell and me being up all night with baby hatter and no sleep, we had to meet Ms Hatter's bro for his birthday lunch. We went to a 'pub' in Maida Vale, which was really a restaurant/gastropub masquerading as a boozer. The sort of place where you walk through the front door of the pub and they tell you 'there are no tables available at present sir'. iPad-toting posers were having lunch together - an £18 roast or a £28 chicken to share (even the vegi option was £12) - but seemed more glued to their screens than engaged in conversation with each other. Cutlery was in wanky old battered tea pots. The sugar bowl was an old syrup tin and the salt was in a jar with what looked like a little coke spoon to dole it out. At the bar, only hipster beer was on sale for £4.35 a pint.
It was nice to see ms Hatter's family, but this was everything I hate in a pub. Full of rich wanky people swanking it up trying to look cool and paying through the nose for average food. For all its faults, Brixton isn't this bad yet. Please let's not let it get like that….

I can see that from Coldharbour Lane. It looked closer than Brockwell Park to me, maybe in Loughborough Park?

I'm going to guess it was either The Warrington or The Elgin...

It's not this big crane, is it?
It's the only thing tall thing with a light I can see anywhere near the park at the moment.

Would that be around milkwood road ? Im sure i have seen some flats going up around there.
£4.35 a pint is cheap. I took the missus to the Rosendale in West Norwood on Thursday for lunch. I had a pint of Meantime IPA. 4.3% and £4.95.

Meantime is always expensive. Only time I ever had to have it was at the Festival Hall a couple of years ago - the alternative beers were simply too awful.
I went to the Kraft Beer corner of Beehive Place on Friday. My insatiable but generous friend was shocked to get a mere 60p change from a tenner for 2 pints (mine was Coldharbour Stout obviously).
I had waited a long time to try the Kraft Beer place - it looked a bit intimidating for a quasi-pensioner used to a more traditional Brixton atmosphere.
The redeeming feature (apart from clean toilets and polite staff) was an encounter with a possible ex-Balkan Airlines air hostess living in West Dulwich. SHE said she went to Kraft because it was cheap.
You don't get women like that in the Beehive!

one way of looking at that is to say it's an end to the character of the brixton, encroaching hipsters/yuppies, etcIf anyone is any doubt that night time along Coldharbour Lane is a lot, lot busier than it ever was, check out this photo of the massive Dogstar queue at 11.40pm last night. It was just a usual club night there and that queue stayed long for hours.
another way of looking at it is to say isn't a truly wonderful thing that a pub/club that sort of limped along for years and bucked the trend of pubs closing is thriving, and enjoyed my hundreds, and people are willing to queue to experience it?

Dunno Ed - I'll have to check now you've raised the question.
It was on handpump and had that Brixton Brewery
logo.Blueish greyish picture. I'm sure it was Coldharbour Stout - but might have been porter.
I was a bit squiffy - evening started with more than ½ bottle of wine over dinner, followed by a pint of 5.9% IPA in the Beehive, then Ruddles, then Abbot.
But I didn't knock any bins over on the way home - I can take my drink as they say.
BTW did you want those negs (or prints)?

This makes me sad. 3 years ago you could turn up to dogstar at 1am and walk straight in. It would be packed, but you could get straight in.
Que up 40 mins, for then whats probably a 20 min wait at the bar once you get in. It makes zero sense to me. Sheep, the lot of them.

That crane's for the development going on in the tiny little strip of earth between the railway line and Milkwood Road just south of Herne Hill Station. Flats I spect, but a bit cramped and noisy I'd have thought.
