you've got it. That's why so many Caribbean migrants were home owners back in the 1950s-70s.
The council soon sorted that out though! Dick Gregory put it perfectly:

Largely windowless?"Southwyck House, a largely windowless brick monster"
Why, I oughta...
South London street once 'Britain's most dangerous' now rammed with £1m houses
Coldharbour Lane residents say the area gets a bad reputation but the real danger is gentrificationwww.mylondon.news
Apparently either i have a fundamental misunderstanding of what a window is or they are full of shit.

not an entirely uncommon thing in the 60s - there's some council / new town houses built round the same sort of era that only have relatively small windows on the side facing the road, which looks odd, but the design is sort of sideways on to a traditional house, so you have the staircase and bathroom and so on against the 'front' wall and more windows on the side/s away from traffic.
One of my favourites of this type is Alexandra Rd Estate near Swiss Cottage that backs onto railway lines.rouel road estate in bermondsey is similar. right next to the train line so small windows on that side.

So you think it's politically incorrect to mention a person's Commonwealth origins in connection with a government edict to fly the Union Jack on hospitals on Commonwealth Day? I guess you don't subscribe to Private Eye then?

I've been on Twitter for years - and the only person to block me was David Stimpson, leader of Lambeth Council before Ted Knight.
And he had followed me in the first place uninvited. That is your company!

Solidarity against neoliberalism!
Thought that was a go-back-in-time-atron moment then, to when we urged them to stop backing apartheid South Africa.

At the Old Bailey on 27 May 2022, Brandon Aldon McNeil was sentenced to life imprisonment with a recommendation that he serve at least 24 years in prison, having previously pleaded guilty to murder, attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of an offensive weapon. When police searched his home following the discovery of forensic evidence showing that he was at the murder scene, they found a number of knives and he had made rap videos bragging about his life of crime and boasted of his skill with knives in a film made a week after the murder. His own counsel said that Brandon Aldon McNeil had an "unhealthy interest in knives" and was an "habitual knife carrier" who had been the victim of human trafficking at a young age before becoming involved in gangs as a young teenager after expulsion from school.

Brewdog have their monstrosity of a bar in Waterloo, I'm guessing there would be more foot traffic in Waterloo than Coldharbour lane.

Hopefully the one in Waterloo turns out to be a cash black hole for the company.

I never frequented central Brixton much for years until recently but it seems a few other businesses geared to the young professionals have failed. Champagne & Fromage seems to have gone (or has it been rebranded) and there seems to be other empty units. This must be so disappointing to commercial landlord who thought they'd make a killing.
