When was google maps last updated, and why is Brixton Road looking so empty and closed up? 
I decided to look to see how many mobile phone shops there were (I counted three: T Mobile, Vodaphone, Carphone Warehouse) but half of Brixton looks closed up (including the tube). I'm guessing it was on a Sunday, but if the town hall clock was recorded on the same day, it's mid-afternoon. I would have thought more of these shops would be open (or is Iceland shut on a Sunday?).
Anyway, it's obviously after the riots as there's hoarding up, and it's after Webster's has ceased to be a shoe shop but is now a clothes shop, and I that is now another mobile phone shop, but I don't know which, so if another one opens where Footlocker is (was), that'll be FIVE mobile phone shops in one little stretch of road

Yup. The old Morreli building. Better than the derelict old workshop that used to be there.

The strangely tasteful Christmas decorations were being put up in Windrush Square this morning. Reindeer and Christmas trees.
