Yes. What's stupid is that there's a big purpose built station building there, that could deal with large numbers, but unfortunately sold off on the past to become a pub and a cafe. And now we have to fiddle around balancing little boxes on the edges of the cutting in order to cope with increasing demand.
The existing "new" building is a design disaster... Let's hope they do better with this one.

I went to see the new exhibitions at the Photographers Gallery today, two rooms are photographs by Sunil Gupta, mainly with a focus on the gay community.
There is a set taken in London, I think in the 90's and I noticed this one showing the entrance to the good old Imperial Gardens club under the railway arches
It's actually one on a framed set of four as below - I don't know where the other arch would be, maybe someone can recognise it?
Edit - apologies for the not very good quality of my photography!

Small note that your playground picture is the new one at the West end (called something to do with trees or wood, can't recall) not the other play area which, as the caption, is on the Albany road side - near all the chumleigh things and the cafe. Don't suppose it matters really.

This looks good, a self-guided walk taking in some interesting trees.

Endeavour era
Camberwell Arts is organising a special Lockdown Exhibition - a kind of pop up Art Gallery with work from 20 local artists in the windows of temporarily closed pubs, shops and empty units. Starting now until end of lockdown. I don't have a link but more info coming soon, probably.

The Cake of Liberty
When I lived in the area in the 90s I remember seeing the White woman of Camberwell around.

She often walked along Coldharbour Lane around the mid 1990s.

Camberwell church continuing to sell fake Covid-19 cure
Bishop Climate Wiseman of the Kingdom Church in Camberwell, which sells a bottle of oil and some red yarn for £91 and claims that it will cure and protect the church's followers from Covid-19 if inhaled with a towel or a bowl of hot water.
Bishop Climate Wiseman claims that he "is considered one of the world's leading spiritual leader (sic)" and "A Master Prophet an expert in Divinity, human behavior and in personal development (sic)", as well as "a revered global authority on spiritual leadership".
The Charity Commission has now taken steps to limit the activities of Bishop Climate Wiseman:
Controversial Camberwell church which offered Covid “cure” is taken over by Charity Commission
Bishop Climate Wiseman
"He sees the invisible, he hears the inaudible, he deals with impossible he can read and see the future like an open book."

I hear the Joiner's Arms now have a roof garden. Plus BrewBird has a beer garden.
Also The Grove is under new management of Parched (Roebuck, Montpellier).
You won't see me in these because my fridge is going to be my pub for the foreseeable. But some of you might want to give them a try.

In other news SE5 Forum and Camberwell Society are giving away sunflower seeds at the Saturday market stall on the green.
