Yes. TFL and Lambeth have approved this. But unfortunately no provisions for cyclists.

Blimey. Always thought it would be a relief to move the bus stops slightly out, even before CV.

I keep the mask firmly on when in Poundland and santise my hands as soon as I leave. I also try and go when there's no queue outside.

Does Tesco’s feel quite safe and people obeying the social distancing rules? It always seemed so frantic before all this I haven’t attempted to go.

A friend told me that they were in Brixton in a queue for shopping and a woman pushed behind him, banged on the closed shutters of a shop which briefly opened up to reveal a hairdresser's shop absolutely packed full of people.....

Yeah seen a couple of places doing this....

The Tesco in Acre Lane had loads of space when I went a few days ago.

Its all very well organised now. Only let certain number in.Have spray to clean handles of trolleys.

The toilet roll madness has ended.

Eggs and flour go quicky. Often none left.

No baking powder or dried yeast at any time Ive been in.

Anyone see a car chase a couple of hours ago? A woman driving a little red Peugeot was fleeing the police. She nearly crashed in Rushcroft Road, just as I was about to cross it, and disappeared up Effra Road.

Apparently this pic is being used to depict Brixton station this morning with some fake new shit. Someone just sent it to me and asked if it was really like this in London.

No. The starbucks shut ages ago.

Some bloke on a bike and a megaphone flanked by three cars just went bellowing down Coldharbour Lane. Any idea what it was about?

People are just looking at the crowd and the distance, they're not looking at the details. We take in what we are looking out for.

Edit: er, didn't mean that to sound quite as new age psydo-wisdom, man.
