The Reliance Arcade is a little gem of old Brixton. Cherish it while it lasts, folks.

The seamstress lady is classic - I've rarely ever seen her not sitting at her sewing machine. There was a youngish guy there once, who sold a brilliant range of hats, all of which I was not cool enough to wear. I'm sure the CD man has been there many years.

Must be safe from Brixton Village, just not big enough.

 

[pissflaps]

sure they could squeeze a branch of all saints in there, so long as people queued politely.

 

[TruXta]

The shoe repair man in there is great.

 

[editor]

I wish they'd reopen the old arcade by the tube station. I miss that cafe and newsagents.

 

[gabi]

I intentionally didn't name the place, but I'm sure it's not that hard to work out.

But you've named two places which could lose their own license if what you say is true

London Oktoberfest is in Kennington Park over the 19-22nd of September. Not sure if it looks ridiculously terrible, ludicrously great or both

About £39 for the 'fest package'

*Seat reservation (together)
*Snacks
*2 x 1.5 pints of beer or 1 bottle of white/red wine (+£3 in the tent)
*1 German Schnitzel with special Bavarian potato salad
*Dessert Surprise (specially adapted to the Oktoberfest)

There is a Lederhosen and Dirndl shop/hire available

The 'Muzik' looks a bit Ooompah Ooompah

I think I'd head to the Jolly Gardeners on Black Prince Road if I wanted some German bier and food.

Is it wrong to want a schnitzel for breakfast?

NO

Badgers seems a bit steep, I'd expect a few more drinks for that price but I'd still be willing to give it a go if I still lived round here. I don't think they did it when I lived next to the park.

I am speaking to the manager of a certain pub on the blag for trade tickets or something. Would not pay that much you can get a decent amount of beer, food and music in Brixton without being in a tent

 

[Chilavert]

I'm pretty certain they're the hours that the kitchen is open Badgers.

I've certainly been there mid-afternoon for a pint in the past.

When I went to the real Oktoberfest a couple of years back there was an emergency response team that showed up within seconds of anyone falling off their seat/table. Will a similar service be provided here?

No during these times of austerity anyone falling off their seat/table will simply be thrown on the ground at the back of the tent.

 

[Dan U]

There is a german pub on Southwark street as well. The currywurst was average though when I went.

I was waiting for a bus up to new cross from outside kennington park last time this was on and there were casualties everywhere, very messy !

The reggae night at the Queens is a thing of true wonder.

 

[Badgers]

4 people in the queue and 4 cashiers working

What has happened?

 

[ffsear]

People are at work

 

[Badgers]

No. It is more sinister than that. Now in the tube station. One person queuing and two cashiers open

Zeitgeist was decent, up by Vauxhall - dunno if it's still trading.

Horrible crack dealer outside Iceland last night. Once the fucked up girl had handed her money over, he threw her rock into the heavy moving traffic so she was scrambling round on her hands and knees in moving traffic trying to find it. He was standing there laughing at her. What a C**T.
