Still something Nollywood related still going on, but it's not the jumping joint it was in the first year or two.

Ate at Zeret Kitchen last night. Absolutely stunning vegan stuff (although it's not all vegan). Companion ordered the veggie selection platter which she didn't realise was intended for 2 people. It was absolutely huge for £9, could probably feed 3. Somehow she managed to finish it.

The whole bill came to under £30 which was the sharing platter, my main, a side, a beer, and a glass of wine. They happily offered to put my leftovers in tupperware for takeaway (which was lovely as I really wanted to take it but I always feel too awkward to ask), and were just all round lovely people. Will definitely be back soon.

That was my thought too.

I was meaning to give it a try but decided to pass on it instead. Not sure if it's permanently closed but there hasn't been a movement in there for a while.

It seemed a bit pricey, which is why I procrastinated.

Not sure it's easy to get into as it hasn't been broken by the urban explorers over the last few years (as far as I know)

It was opened up during Camberwell Arts festival a year or two back. Here's some other info from upthread.

I've probably posted this before, but did you know Camberwell is home to Southwark Council's abandoned nuclear bunker? iirc boohoo told me about it years ago

There's another of his by GX Gallery in Camberwell (I think it's still there) with Muhammad Ali.

Also featuring Prince.

The bunker space and grounds would make a fantastic cold war / protest movment kinda museum/ exhibit space as well - not something there is much about these days- though Kennard has recentrly had a long running show at the IWM

Yeah I can't find much about the art thing there. It was in 2014.

I live opposite; happened on Sunday afternoon. A car clipped the side of the bus and the bus swerved, taking the phone box out! Nobody hurt as far as I know.

It's open again and busy. Coincidentally a woman on the bus I'm on is singing praises showing off her local knowledge to a bored looking colleague. I haven't the heart to mention the verminous seasoning.

Went by on the way home tonight, was surprised to see it open! Did look busy indeed.
