Hmmm, just hope our new Lidl will survive and not 'lower the tone'. Friend who works in Superdrug told me all the current shops will survive but given Brixton/E&C experience I would doubt if they all do.Doesn't that look nice?

Looks like most of the new flats overlooking the Green and up Camberwell Road. So there is some consistency in the dullness at least.Doesn't that look nice?

They look like just about every new build everywhere!

Yes. I saw some in Ponders End yesterday. Why the facepalm? Surely it's not just the exterior of the new development that interests you?

Because I'm fed up with every city looking the same with this bland, uninspiring architecture, which never have any zero social housing. But I'm glad Camberwell is getting a new cinema, if these plans go ahead unaltered.

From what I've heard, they had to shut up shop and Hyatt next door had bought the property.

Also, interestingly I read that Cruson had a lot of work done inside the shop without getting planning permission and they had to put a halt on things when the council found out.

Couldn't agree more. And I shudder to think of what all these identikit places will look like in 10 years when they start to fall into disrepair.

came up on tweeter today -
new 'Histories in Focus' talks, first is afternoon of Sat 22 February at the South London Gallery (between Camberwell and Peckham) on "key moments of local resistance to top-down planning and ill-conceived public infrastructure projects." including the Ringway road project (that would have gone through the middle of Brixton) and the initial plans for the channel tunnel rail link that would have gone through south london
More here (it's £ 5 a go, needs pre-booking)

“This street was a hub”: The quiet conversion of pubs into flats in the south of England
Joseph Ryan wasn’t surprised when he received the news. He has run the White Hart in New Cross in south London alongside his brother Patrick for three years now. The pub is popular with locals during the day, but most of its revenue comes from the late-night licence that lets him sell drinks...
Interesting article on what has happened to The Bear. Depressingly unsurprising.

Permanently resident, or brought periodically by a falconer to scare off other birds?

available on amazon saying c. 1880
can find a couple of references saying that gas street lighting didn't appear in london until 1812 so more inclined to believe the latter...

Anyone interested in being part of a local Camberwell/Walworth/Kennington practical support co-ordination team, let me know and I'll add you to the PM conversation.
In other practical news, Lumberjack on Camberwell Church Street is working to set up a home delivery service and has a rather cool 'pay-it-forward' thing on their site now where you can buy breakfast for someone else
Lumberjack Cafe: local delivery of coffee and brunch within Camberwell

Saw this in the window of the Camberwell Arms earlier. I'm not linking to the website as it's only of interest to those who are up for pricey takeaway gastropub dinners and boozes. Surely business continuity is possible with at least an attempt to contribute to the wider community, for example, like Lumberjack's effort.
