Camberwell news and chitter-chatter

[editor]

Yeah I've seen some blather about how it's very representative of Camberwell's colour and character and I bet they say that in every neighbourhood. It's nice but not as good as the things that appear as part of the Arts Festival. My faves were on the post office (demolished) and the pink parking meter.

Yeah, I liked the Post Office artwork. I wonder how many areas of London now have these artworks.

Latest cosmetic addition to the neighborhood.

Fucking hate these things, there's one in Brockley too. There's enough street art in the area, we don't need a copy/paste from other south London areas.

Middle-aged middle-class types seem to love them, the bloke who does them must not be able to believe his luck.

Yeah I read about him. The signs are already so bland it wouldn't surprise me if they leak out of South London and infect other neighbourhoods with their cheapo instant faux retro coolness.

The should take a leaf out of Penge's book and get some original street art.

I like stuff on the street, but this corporate/ sponsored by local business stuff makes me dry heave. I like the temporal spontaneity of some work, even tags up to a point- it shows life and kicking back.The M/C embraced stuff at the likes of ED station smells of death and profit

Apparently this was underwhelming and a 100% white people event. Fighting universal existential crisis with a pile of meh.

The hairdressers on CHL (Crown and Glory I think) has moved and the planning app sign says it will be a restaurant. Next to the newish bakery and pizza place.

Looks like internal clearance is happening in the former club couture building on Camberwell Church Street. There's also a nice new butterfly painted under the railway bridge opposite the generic neighborhood branding.

In other news, the picnic tables on Camberwell Green have been removed due to late night disturbance for residents in Peabody estate.

I saw on Camberwell Online that we're getting a branch of The Dutchie there - a Caribbean restaurant with other branches in Croydon.

Sounds more interesting than the last thing I heard about that place.

Not a bad series.
I like this series because it covers less obvious neighborhoods

I liked that. Makes camberwell look so green, which is not usually how I remember it

They're having another go at Southwark Supertram.

[DietCokeGirl]

Saw this flyer posted up at the E&C and of Walworth Road, and thought 'This seems like a job for Urban'. This thread seemed to be the closest to that area.

recently surfaced on transpontine

'spain shop' in walworth road, during the spanish civil war

seems to be (now demolished building) next door to the 'tankard'

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

Whats the craic with that pub 'The Tankard'? I have never been in but was intrigued in the past as they used to have offers of cheap pints on display on the walls. But, i have also heard its a bit of a Milwall pub which puts me off a little (but not much).
