ooh now you've got my attention with lunch deals
Are they big enough for a couple of buggies? I've only been once and we were upstairs.

They're just chairs.. but the mezzanine bit has got really nice sofa/bench against the wall thing, the type I always found useful when with immobile babies as I could put them (pre-rolling) on the bench beside me.
It's a large place so i'm sure they'll let you leave your buggies somewhere - you wouldn't want to take them up to the mezzanine.
I know what you mean about a lounge type place though - they don't have, for example, baby changing at FM Mangal.

Anyone know what's happening with the 7 star dry cleaners next to it? I never saw it open and it seems a bit of a waste to have the premises empty.

They don't have the longest hours but are certainly open the majority of days. You haven't been watching very carefully methinks!

there goes my elaborate story about it being somehow linked to the Triads.

You may be a total fantasist when it comes to Indian restaurants, but on this you have my backing.

Endeavour era
Bike workshop/bar with pool table opened in the old Tadim site and another bike workshop opened in the old Olive Shop on the same day earlier this week.
Looks like Nollywood is struggling.
I wish the local hand wringers would properly rescue a crumbling venue rather than ignore it then object vociferously like they did when the bingo hall turned into a 'church'.

I'm going to take one of my bikes in for repair at the bike shop in the old Olive Shop and report back.

I read workshop as "worship" initially which I suspect might not be a completely inappropriate word.

I'm assuming it's part of the electricity substation stuff but it could be something that's based in KCH Business Park to the right. To the right of the business park is all the sprawling KC Hospital metropolis.

That building is a "Depot" on the OS map. There are no planning applications registered on Lambeth's database. That's all I've got.
Nah, got it. The building has been empty for years apparently, so instead of maintaining it, they're demolishing it. Original application ref 13/00205/G31 which was denied, but approved shortly after, ref 13/02175/G31
I suppose it'll just be left as empty land, as it's surrounded by substations and not really suitable for redevelopment..

Details about the redevelopment of Southwark Town Hall and Theatre Peckham on Havil Street (including yet another arty cafe/gallery, this one run by Hotel Elephant).

My uncle owned it for 30 years and when he died, my aunt sold it on.

I went to Seabass cycles to fix my spare bike. They did not have all of the items I needed so had to rder them, but they've done a good job and the bike is all shiney with new mudguards, saddle and rack. Friendly guys and just a minutes walk from my front door, so I will be taking my business there again.

I went in there for a nose around. Nice guys (though they were behaving like dickheads in the Hermit's on the night they opened). They also gave me the obviously incorrect advice that a used chain ring, the teeth of which were shark-finned and clearly towards the end of their life, still had life left in it. So in short, nice guys, but they should learn to take their backpacks off in a crowded pub, and also brush up on their knowledge. I'll continue taking my repairs to Bob's Cycles in John Ruskin Street, but will definitely drop by Seabass from time to time for a nose and a chat.

That's really annoying. I've had bike shops (Edwardes) miss some obvious problems in the past and found that I had to take the bike in again after only a few weeks. And do some work that was not needed as well! I use Bob's Cycles from time to time and will do again for the more fiddly stuff, but for basic maintenance having a bike shop across the road is just so convenient. Maybe I ought to do more of it myself though.

back on the other side
i went past the snooker hall yesterday - looks like some has bought it, or at least it has signs up saying "sold for development", or something like that.
Does anyone know more? its a great space bang in the heart of camberwell....

This has been in the pipeline for yonks - planning permission was sorted a couple of years ago and I think they've just been sorting out the finances. Afaik PP was conditional upon them building a snooker hall in the new building, and the people at Jono's certainly seem to believe that this will happen (in the basement, not the ground floor as at present).
