Maybe. It's been quite a resistant pocket though. Ditto the old bakery building housing Deen's Furniture and the Kwik Stop on the corner of Trent Road. Was thinking about this just the other day, when it occurred to me that every other building from Lambert Road to the Town Hall has been rebuilt or refurbished since I've been in Brixton, together with a general smartening of the streetscape with new railings, paving and the like. Do I notice this more because I walk it every day, or has all of Brixton changed as much?

Conformity is the last refuge of the unimaginitive
I often play to rooms where large amounts of the punters are filming/ taking pics of themselves. I presume they then post the picture to other people who will completely ignore the pic because they're to busy filming themselves
Maybe it's just me getting old and being a stick in the mud but i do find it all very strange. Upside is that they aren't filming me! In my younger days of going clubbing the last things i would have brought with me was a phone or camera. Keys, drugs, rizla and money for more drugs and a cab was all that i that had in my pockets. I meet a long time mate of mine once a week down the cafe for a catch up and fry up . He takes a load of pics of his meal everytime and sends them on. He has the same meal every time but always takes pics.

There used to be a very good cafe along that parade many years ago. Nearer to Gresham road. Can't for the life of me remember it's name.

There were two - one was Anna's which was nearer to Gresham Road - and then the Gresham Cafe.

I would guess since around 2000.
Gresham Cafe on the other hand were the landlords of George the hairdressers. Possibly survived longer with extra income.

I can't see from police twitter the reason given for the section 60.

Surely it's linked.

That's an assumption.
The Section 60 is for whole of borough not the area around Angel town estate.
If police want to make blanket use of section 60 then they should put on twitter reason why it has been put on whole area. Looks like most of borough from map.
Section 60 is supposed to be used for specific group of streets not used in this way

How does it help?
Plus Im waiting for met to say it was due to this incident.
I would have thought in a murder case forensics are being done/ CCTV footage looked at and appeals for witnesses.
Police already have powers to stop people if they suspect them.
Section 60 is about stopping people without reasonable grounds.
I assume it makes it easier to stop people otherwise they wouldn't do it. When it happens after someone has been stabbed I find it hard to have an issue. I don't believe they are doing it in order to randomly increase the amount they hassle people at that specific time.

Lambeth is a long thin borough with Angell Town near the top. Would make more sense if it is related to this incident to make the Section 60 a radius of streets, irrespective of the borough.

My house is on the edge of the estate.
I walk through it all the time to go to tescos or the bus stop.
I do hear loud bangs in the middle of the night and wonder if it is a firework or not.
I'd live there because I basically always have but I get it. I'd probably have some long hard thoughts about raising a child there despite growing up their myself.

Police also have rights to stop people with due reason already.
I don't see how a Section 60 is supposed to help.
If police have information about gang related violence then they can target people based on information they have. This does not require a section 60.
Nor have police said murder in Angel town is gang related.
Lot of assumptions being made here
Also a lack of proper communication by local police with community to explain what they are doing and why

Quite a few years ago I delivered something to house on the estate. The woman had two small kids. With no prompting from me she started to tell me how she wanted to transfer off the estate as she did not think it is was good place for her two small kids.
I commented the houses / flats looked good. She said they were. Its all the other trouble on the estate that made her want out.
Not all estates are like this. Angell Town has a really bad reputation.
