Ouch. I saw two people almost knocked over by buses outside Nationwide this evenng; crowded pavement so they stepped into the road into the path of a bus. There was a serious car crash on south Lambeth road this morning too. Pededstrian being transferred onto a stretcher & 10 police present. Hope they're ok.

That bit of pavement is really narrow. When people are queuing for the cashpoints and smoking outside the pub and waiting to cross the road, it's a nightmare. People with pushchairs struggle. I'm not a normally fan of railings, but that's one place where we could do with some imo, to stop people stepping out into the road. Or widen the pavement.
 
Right, I have had a totally fucking awful week. I am on my way back to Brixton, where should I go? I need to eat (tho tempted by KFC, never said I was classy) but mostly want to not think about the cunts I work with (ergo anywhere laptop bags and rugby shirts are prevalent doesn't work) and possibly dance. Recommendations, hive mind, please....

There's always a mania on Fridays , I notice it more when I'm on the bike, people are always stepping out in front of me, everyone is headlong into the weekend, please be careful and show regard for your fellow citizens :)

Definitely. I had my elbow bashed once.

Not really possible to widen the pavement without narrowing the road though is it, other than knocking down the shops :D

I've seen people narrowly avoiding being clipped by bus wing mirrors along that stretch too.

The crossing outside Marks & Sparks seems particularly perilous because there's so little room and the pavement slopes down into the road.
 
No buses going beyond tulse hill, I assume because of stabbing/squashing/whatever.

The one day I don't have flats in my bag.... If anyone finds a blonde in a hedge in Tulse Hill tomorrow, that'll be me....

Buses are coming up the Hill, but not sure whether that's via BWL

or maybe via Acre Lane? :hmm:
