i no longer go to McDonalds because they have long stopped being able to serve warm food fast, but shit loads of school kids hanging around in McDonalds shouting, swearing and generally being a pain in the arse and intimidating for people trying to take young children for a happy meal etc has been a bit of an issue for years. A very small one in the grand scheme of things but surely these teenagers have something, anything, better to do than causing a nuisance around a fast food restaurant.The kids are kicking off

Nextdoor (I know, I know...) also been full of panicky posters recently claiming their kids had been threatened (with stabbing, by visible knives) by other older kids around there on their way back from school. Some adults loudly volunteering their services to be 'get home safe' escorts in jackets and so on. Looks like there may genuinely be a specific problem in the area , not just backlash and hysteria.
Rushy
basically a scrotum
Don't know about Clapham but there was a police presence all last term on Rush Common outside Trinity Academy (Brixton Hill) at the end of each school day. Officer I spoke with said it was due to kids being attacked by older kids not at the school. I think he mentioned siblings in gangs.

Co-operating for a Community Pub in South London
When a pub closes it can really rip out the heart of a neighbourhood. For many people in Walworth, South London, where I’m a councillor, the Beehive was the epitome of a community pub. Not just a place to grab a drink, but a place to meet neighbours, make new friends and hold landmark events...

How locals saved Stockwell’s graffiti ‘hall of fame’
It's a rare case of gentrification embracing existing culture

This looks like an interesting exhibition at Clapham Library - the story of an old school haberdashers, on Clapham High Street, run by a fondly remembered shopkeeper who still lived above the shop, and died in 2020.
I remember the shop ('Jeanette' - just by the Railway Tavern) from when I lived not far away, though sadly I never went in it. The exhibition's website is interesting, with some good old photos and reminiscences about Clapham in the old days.

I went in the shop a few times to buy bits and pieces and one time went upstairs to what used to be the family lounge and bedroom which was then being used by an upholsterer who he sub-let to. It was a time warp from the 1970s. I wish I'd been able to take some photos of the interior.This looks like an interesting exhibition at Clapham Library - the story of an old school haberdashers, on Clapham High Street, run by a fondly remembered shopkeeper who still lived above the shop, and died in 2020.

You might have already seen them, but there are a couple of photos of the interior on the exhibition website.

Yes, I have seen them - wood-grained Formica panelling everywhere. There was a bar made out of this in the lounge.

I'm sure you're as disappointed as I am with the titter-ye-not remarks, but anyone who takes on this job gets my admiration.
