Be a shame if someone accidentally scraped their key down the side of vehicles like this.

An Eritrean chap I know in the Beehive said the lady running the place has long term health problems - but did not specify.
I guess - depending on who owns it - it will turn into another wine bar/craft ale tap room etc. eventually.
The Asmara used to be vibrant 25 years ago, but not particularly cheap.
I would rate their sort of food more appetising than Labalaba/ENISH 330 Coldharbour Lane opposite the Barrier Block (personal choice).
Asmara now has two competitors very nearby now: Adulis in Brixton Rec undercroft and Light of Africa in Brixton Villaage, so might struggle to make a come-back?

I guess I was saying my experience of Eritrean cuisine is more appealing than Nigerian (even though I had a 2 week holiday in Enugu State once).
Nigerian Palm wine is excellent however - especially fresh from the tree.

Judge Mark Dennis KC set a plea hearing for 5 January 2024 and a provisional trial for all three defendants for 2 September 2024.

The trial of Kyiza Sandiford and two children charged with murder in relation to the stabbing of The Late Keelen Morris Wong is now scheduled to commence this morning in Court 10 at the Old Bailey.

A depressingly familiar story emerges at the opening of this murder trial ... and it is revealed that the fatal attack was captured on dashcam footage:
Keelen Morris Wong Murder: Court shown stabbing captured on car's dashcam
The trial continues.
I wonder why or how they are denying murder with so much evidence.

I'll never forget watching that young man die. It was horrific.
I didn't realise you were there, I'm so sorry.
It's an absolutely awful situation. Tragic.

It looks like the glory days of Coldharbour Lane are well and truly over.
Dogstar - in administration, barely open and usually empty when it does bother to open its doors
Rum Kitchen - closed and boarded up
Brewdog - closed and boarded up
Albert - a pale shadow of its former busy self
Le Bab - closed
Brixton Village - up for sale with an uncertain future
Asmara - been closed for years
Prince of Wales - always seems quiet when I pass and I think the first floor area is now closed?

No evidence appears to have been called on behalf of the three defendants facing the charge of murder (alternatively, anyone can post details of the reported defence case(s) if this is inaccurate).
It is possible that the trial judge may be able to send the jury out to consider their verdicts on Friday 4 October 2024.

Quite grim when you see it all listed out.
Is there any more to it than the usual sky high rent, energy, ingredients, staffing costs?

I suppose you could add plus 'Dirty Burger', Nanban and that failed curry house that briefly took over Market House. The days of 'build it and they will come' have passed.

Young people being charged more rent and having less disposable income to go out for a meal, drinks and a dance. I hear it's not unusual to pay £1000 a month to rent a room in a house share in Brixton these days.

The Dogstar's wounds are all self inflicted: years of bad management, no budget and no support from head office.
Brewdog rocked up thinking the brand would be enough to fill their soulless space and they made no effort to engage the local community.
The Prince of Wales used to have the night to go out on Thursdays and they managed to fuck that up.
The Albert's demise is down to a really poor manager who has zero understanding of what made the place so popular.
Rum Kitchen was a run-down, uncared-for space at the end.
The Ton of Bricks seems to have barely registered since opening, and it's burdened by really poor PR
But make enough effort to engage and people will come and spend money.
Despite being further out of the centre, both Hoots and the Effra Social seem to have got the mix right.
We had a bit of a dip over the summer, but here's how my night at the Effra looked last Friday.
It might sound arrogant but with the right support from the venue, I'm confident that I could get similar crowds in the Dogstar and Albert - but I'm not going anywhere near them with the current managers
Below is Hootananny a couple of weeks ago:
