So sad to see Foxtons getting their greedy mitts all over Rushcroft Road.

Rushcroft Road 2013

 

[TruXta]

I'd forgotten that they'd hiked the prices up, but I certainly won't be going back there again in a hurry for a coffee. And that's a bit of a shame because I always found the Ritzy cafe a good place to get some work done.

It's certainly very expensive. From memory it's alright, but no great shakes (the coffee that is). I think I stopped going there shortly after the downstairs refurb.

Really? I dont find that at all. Kaff is much better as are other places.

 

[Winot]

I've always found the service in the Ritzy to be frustratingly slow, and the food so-so (apart from the short-lived Birdcage restaurant which was probably 15 years ahead of the gentrification curve).

I really like Kaff but I don't go there so much to work because I know the staff really well and so invariably end up spending the afternoon chatting with them instead of getting my work done!

The coffee is indeed no great shakes, but I find the generally lively atmosphere conducive to getting work done (in my case usually writing).

I don't know the guys at Kaff so I did more often end up there or in the sadly departed Sitifis.

There's some very nice people who work at Kaff.

I'm sure that's partly why I've come back time after time. Not been there for a while now tho.

Glad I read again.

FYI, there's a 'like' button underneath each post. Clicking that will save you the effort of having to continually post up your satisfaction with this thread.

They have re opened the upstairs on weekends during the day.

They pull in a lot of money now they have the downstairs bar but I miss the upstairs one.

Lovely pic

Warning: there are some tossers filming a hidden camera prank show in the lido car park. Avoid the area. I was approached and asked if I was here for the dogging

I think I would have found genuine doggers less offensive.

 

[el-ahrairah]

if i wasn't at work i'd go down there now with a baseball bat.

I am off work but only have a rounders bat.

 

[pissflaps]

Well. That ban certainly afforded me a much needed opportunity to reflect upon and reconsider my poor behavior. Thank you Mister Editor sir! You're the best!

Jesus wept.



Spoilt child, anyone?

Anyone know how much it is to swim at the Brixton Rec? Standard adult swim, no discount cards or concessions. I've never been, just tried to navigate the lambeth cc website, got redirected to signing up for a "better" card, a variety of sub menus and discounts were offered, the ability to book a place online, but no actual f-king prices.

I just a took and suffered the same pain as you!

 

[leanderman]

No more than £3. About £2.20 for members.

 

[shakespearegirl]

I heard them ask someone for £3.05 yesterday and thought what a stupid price point!
