But they must be getting a boost from all the masses of new punters at Market House?

Whatever gave you that idea?

It just seems logical. Don't some of the hordes on CHL drop into the 414?

The demographic of the Market House and the 414 are worlds apart. I doubt if any go to the 414. I've certainly never seen any make the journey come closing time.

Are u a right wing Guardianista baiting libertarian?

There is something about the Telegraph article I do not like. Its not all the journalists fault. Unless the journo has misrepresented Giuseppe Mascoli. The article looks like its based on interview with him.
Makes it sound like he is in charge of what happens in the market. If this is accurate portrayal of Mascoli and what he thinks of the market I find it unpleasant to read.
Mrs Magpie is right Market Row never was purely Afro Caribbean. I really hope the journalist did not get that idea from Mascoli. Though it sounds like the journo did:
I find that sentence inflammatory and offensive. As well as 100% wrong. There were units in the market with white tenants since I have been in Brixton.There has always been white people living in Brixton as well as Afro Carribean. Is it that the white people who have lived in Brixton all these years do no count as they are not thrusting entrepreneurs bringing culinary sophistication to Brixton?
A lot of the cheaper shops were run by white people. Its the shops selling cheaper goods that have been gradually pushed out.
Perhaps to downmarket to be noticed by the likes of entrepreneurs like Mascoli ?

Ralph's Toys is another white trader who's been there for ages.

"Today it keeps its ethnic feel – just – but the queues for what many still describe as the best pizza in London encouraged others, often with Mascoli’s help, to approach the market landlords and open cafes, restaurants and shops."
I think he has also funded Bukowski and the chicken wings and cocktail places in Market Row. Brixton is obviously the place to try things out then start the chain. 'Franco Manca' in the Westfield....... hate to think what's next.

Precious Little? I miss that unit.

Actually no, it was around in 1985

It was a sort of hippy-ish clothing shop called Domingo's.
Mrs Magpie

Sadly that passed me by. Or rather that I probably didn't notice it as I don't do hippyish clothing

It makes you wonder whether this Giuseppe, who owns a private member's club in Soho, is the largest single factor in the gentrification of Brixton.

Or whether that was the impression he wanted to give the journalist.
This has put me off the pizza place.
Mrs Magpie
On a bit of break...
Feeling proud I've never eaten there now. OK it's mainly because I think pizza is a lot of fuss about very little.

Certainly not worth queuing for. Unless you absolutely have to Instagram it to preserve your hipness.

Definitely, although I suspect he's hanging on for grim death these days.

Hello to each and everyone of you on Urban 75....what can I say ..have been reading comments on the situation we found ourselves in due to the shooting in our premises on the morning of the 7th March...this has marred our clean record of the last 29 years.....because of this incident we have now got conditions added to our licence.....
We have maintained the 24 hour status, which we are we are very pleased about.
Photo ID is now required to gain entrance to the club side of our operations...a good thing as with so many venues now having to install them, the last thing we want is to be left with any undesribles as they can not get in anywher else late into the evenings.
As all will see after tonight. We also now have to have a metal dector arch for customers to walk through....not too happy about this ..but if it means that we will now be the safest place to be in Brixton. So be it (this may frighten a few new people in town, who do not know our history or even put people off)..it is not that you can miss it...
Another condition, will be that all drinks will now be served in plastic glases, plastic bottles or tins.
The last one is the completion of the form 696 for any new promotions to the venue.
Just for the record our head of security, Steve will still be in control of our door.
Any question we are more than happy to answer, but will have to do that later on here as we need to go and do a bit of work befoe tonight.
Should you wish to come and visit, please do, walk through the arch, show your photo Id and come and have a chat. Tonight will be free entrance before midnight which is normal for us.

I have a question - do people just have to show ID or are you supposed to scan it and store it?
Very glad to hear you've got your licence back anyway btw.
