The chairs and the view and the ambience and the staff are great. It's a lovely spot for socialising. If I were to go again I'd sneak my own coffee in.

Good exhibition on there at the moment too - In photos: Perception is Reality art show by Damilola Odusote at the Brixton House theatre

Visited Brixton House today. The Stockwell Friends group had been meeting there - lovely community feel in the cafe.
Didn't try the coffee, though I did see someone tipping coffee beans into a machine so I would have tried it if it had been earlier in the day. Tea was good. I like the art and all the staff were really welcoming.

BTW the Tate Library still had boxes of lateral flow tests to give away.

Good to see the Brixton Bugle back in physical form.

Nice obituary for Linda too. She was a lovely woman.

Has it definitely closed? It was always a bit of a grim, windowless space.

I get what you mean about the windows/lack of. The sign on the door said something along the lines of "this store has now closed, thanks for your custom"

That's pretty much definite then!

The Old Post Office Bakery on Landor Road is going to be closing. 
They've got a sign just inside the door saying on the 8th of May (IIRC). The woman behind the counter said that John and Richard are looking to retire and trying to find someone to take over the business as a going concern but haven't found anyone yet (there's nothing on their website yet). That'll be a sad day.

Oh that's a shame. I don't go there much now but I used to when I lived closer

The company website had removed it - but the directly owned options remain at Stockwell Tube, Denmark Hill Camberwell (and also a branch in Kings College Hopsital).
The website also lists multiple Tesco Expresses and Sainsbury - which seems like cheating to me.

Why are you posting this here?

So you just wanted to tell everyone that you'd unfollowed Brixton Buzz on Twitter because you don't like the site holding Lambeth leaders to account? Thanks for that.
I haven't unfollowed but I think the poster has a point - as they say it's gone further than holding politicians to account.

In what way? He's paid to represent Lambeth and he's spending time elsewhere.
Isn't it just that he's campaigning somewhere else at a weekend? Can't see what the problem with that is. Or is there something else?
editor

You don't think his energies might be better directed at the absolute clusterfuck that is Lambeth Labour? Or do you think their cash-vacuuming Homes for Lambeth scheme is going simply swimmingly? Why isn't he out canvassing the low-income people on the estates he wants to flatten to the ground rather than chit-chatting around Colchester most weekends?

So you don't think he should be held to account then. In fact you don't think anyone should even mention his activities (which he publicises himself). Glad we cleared that up.
It's not holding to account - that's the point.

I don't know about you, but I'd prefer my elected representatives to be working for the area they represent and not promoting their activities for a town 70 miles away.
