...pink !
yeah.
It may sound like a strange and rare color for the sky to display, but a pink sky is actually quite common in large cities, especially those experiencing high levels of pollution.
Pink Sky
During a high-pressure system, when plenty of particles from the pollution adds to the molecules in the air, an effective filter for the scattering of violet light is created.
Although blue light is more visible than violet light under normal circumstances, these unique atmospheric circumstances cause more violet to be scattered more than blue light, resulting in a pink (violet) sky.
A sunset's color can appear pink under similar conditions that create a red sky. Under some circumstances, red light reaching you, combined with red light reflected off particles high in the air, and some scattered blue light making it through, creates a beautiful violet sunset.

From turning darker/lighter or into a completely different color, the sky rarely stays the same. We examine when and why the sky displays different colors.ownyourweather.com

Bus route changes:
45 - alterations "will not go ahead at this time"
3 - to be re-routed north of Lambeth Bridge to serve Victoria
59 - APPEARS to be re-routed to serve Holborn and St Barts rather than Euston, but not clear to me
those are the Brixtony bits.

Yeah I saw that. If you read the report though there were thousands of responses presumably from the concerned public transport users themselves. What a relief that Claire's finger in the wind put her on the right track!

Here's a Twitter account of a thoroughly pissed off resident in Acre Lane. I get their frustration but I'm not sure posting up videos of drug users is going to help.

I doubt the crack/smack heads from that house on the corner are the ones doing the graffiti. I lived very close to and used to walk past that area multiple times daily and never really had any trouble, apart from the odd person in a state in the gutter who is only a danger to themselves. Id be annoyed if one of them was lurking and smoking on my doorstep though.

We had a crack house on my floor - and several others in my block - and they were using the fire escape opposite my door to shoot up, piss and shit. It was fucking grim.

And another shooting, this time on Benedict Road in Stockwell Live updates after man rushed to hospital after getting shot in South London There was one on Friday night in front of the Barrier Block Coldharbour Lane, Brixton - news and updates Plus the recent Railton Road one. It's getting so that the media ignore them unless someone is shot.

Surely that venue is where the Manpower Services Commission used to do training in the 1980s - until the Major goverment privatised them and they became the Training Business Group, which I believe went bust under Blair?From full-on gay club to place where you can 'vibe and climb'

The old Substation South place is now called Piano House: Creative Office Spaces in Brixton | Piano House
This now seems a mix of offices with possible penthouse flats and a doctors' surgery (Pavilion).
It would be interesting to know what did happen at Piano House - there used to be a charity called London Printworks Trust (disolved 2014) there. So somehow the gentrification of the Piano House killed off Substation South and a large arts charity.
Thanks guys.

Considerably more Brixton.
Piano House gay club Substation is now Soho House https://www.sohohouse.com/studio-spaces/brixton-studio which is a source of much amusement to some of my friends.
I seem to remember it had a brief period as a lap-dancing place in between. Pretty sure substation was still running after the Doctors surgery/dentist opened. Upstairs was (and is) flexible office space - there were various charity type orgs in it. I don't know if they've been priced out but it's still offices.
Substation is a climbing wall in a warehouse on the industrial estate on Lyham Road....

I was in the area down below that building a few years ago and it was a bar. Not a nightclub and not a private members club, as far as i was aware anyway.

Winot jimbarkanoodle thebackrow Fangs for the memories!
The old Substation South actually had more in common with the original Cooltan squat raves on Effra Road IMHO.
My theory is the gay club was a sort of fortuitous accident.
Someone had started a club called "The Vox" in the basement of 9 Brighton Terrace around 1990 or so (essentially a trendy place designed for black artists and intelligentsia) but there was a moral panic when a departing customer got stabbed to death on the central traffic island of Brixton Road outside Nat West Bank one night.
Seems Lambeth Licensing and Brixton Police felt a gay club was a safer option for the space - hence Substation's charmed existence - until Suzie Kruger got involved about 5 years later when it rapidly lost favour with the authorities.
Judging by the photos posted above Soho House keep the floors pretty clean - which might have been an advantage at Substation South. I often regretted not borrowing a church kneeler to facilitate operations on a Saturday night!
