I might be a bit late to this one but just found that you can use google street view to go back through all the photos they have collected over the years. Looks like you can go back to around 2008 in most of Brixton Official Google Blog: Go back in time with Street View Crazy to see how much the street scene has changed in such a short time

Brixton hill is once again open to traffic and buses are running. Just as I was getting to enjoy the lack of pollution and noise and the presence of lots more people walking up and down the hill!

I encountered a National Express coach driving down Helix Road on Saturday afternoon. How it got there I have no idea, but it had a nightmare negotiating the corner into Helix Gardens. Sat nav I suspect.

Market row wines is closing in 2 weeks, which is a shame. I know many on here probably felt it wasn't for them, but Dave who runs it is a good bloke, and Id always rather an independent in the space than a chain. His 7/8 quid wines were always nicer than the supermarket equivalent for the same price (and made me feel proper swanky with it all wrapped up nicely).

this is a shame, provided a good selection of wines at a reasonable cost. far better value than anything you got on the high street.

This Saturday (5th August) Grove Adventure Playground is re-opening for a family fun day. this is a volunteer-run campaign to raise awareness and save the playground from being turned into a block of flats.
Please spread the word and bring your children!
