I kinda like them. Bit of bright shiney light in the dark winter, but universal images rather than geared towards the Christian-rooted festival.
Agree - I'm liking them as well plus looking forward to the Daily Mail article on "Lambeth's woke decorations"!!

Don't really agree with where you are coming from there - not that I can ever remember a Brixton Christmas decoration that evoked Christian symbolism.

Is there someone from UKCG on the inside at Lambeth or maybe traders paid towards them so had a say. Either ways it’s well dodgy!!

Solidarity against neoliberalism!
I saw them today and couldn't make out was some of them were supposed to be at all.

Considerably more Brixton.
Hearing this Nick Cave tribute to his sometime partner Anita Ward (which has a voicemail at the end that mentions 'that little place opposite Brixton prison' I just knew it had to be Tudor Close.
And sure enough...
I'm sure it's been on here before but a fascinating place.
Pathe film about the opening - https://www.britishpathe.com/asset/40797/
Photos taken there in c1939 - Historypin
Typical floorplan (I think it's all one bed studios?)
Long piece on Anita - Friday essay: reclaiming artist-musician Anita Lane from the ‘despised’ label of muse
and from a Quietus piece on the Birthday Party.

Condolences to the friends, family, and past customers of The Late Tony Benest and all those affected by his illness and subsequent death. He will be fondly remembered by many who were part of the community for whom Brixton Wholefoods provided an important and well-loved service (unfortunately, many of whom have also now died or simply left the area).
