Aren't Squire and Partners the Brixton architects that created the members club and have something to do with Pop? editor ?

They're the self-promoting architects to the super wealthy and dodgy regimes who took over a large chunk of Brixton, opened up a members-only private rooftop bar while deluding themselves that they're doing something for the community

Squire and Partners talk vibrancy and show off the shiny dome of their new Brixton Department Store home

Squire and Partners, architects to luxury residential and high end business developments around the globe, will soon be moving into their new Brixton offices, taking over the former Edwardian furni…

Thanks I thought so, looks like they're going to do the same to the baths I reckon.

Watch out for this complete wrong 'un putting up anti-vaxx propaganda:

That's really near me. I mangled a few of those very stickers at some of the bus stops along there last week.

That's the only way to go with it really - if we all take down stuff when we see it.

There are people in the comments reporting him to the council or saying he should be done for fly posting, but if a bunch of people just take them down, he should just get dispirited you'd think.

Yeah, I've seen some where other people have already defaced them with marker/keys.

 

[blossie33]

Oh gosh
I can't say I've seen any of them but I don't really look at any sort of notices on bus stops anyway.

 

[spitfire]

Fuck. Literally next door to my place of work. Hope anyone injured isn’t too bad.

Two More Years on Roach Road.

Hackney Wick bar floor collapse: Thirteen people injured

One man who was trapped under rubble at the east London bar says he feared he was going to die.

Is the bar in a converted old building?

Yes it is. Big place. I’ve been in a couple of times but don’t know it that well. My kitchen is in an adjoining building across a yard.

The mezzanine will be a modern addition.

Grim

 

[blossie33]

So sorry for the injured people
I guess there is going to be some major enquiry with the company who did the work inside the building!

good luck finding an underground in Hackney.

I take them down whenever I see them, but it's an uphill struggle. There are so many stickers and grafs now, they must go on some serious campaigns. Along the Lea every bridge and every other house seems to have a covid1984 graf.
The short walk to my local offie gets bombed every single day. I can't keep up.

 

[Sue]

And the vaccination rates in Hackney are still terrible.

 

[klang]

shame the loon scene is so muddled. If they'd be seen for what they are, which is extreme right wing, they'd just get beaten the shit out of them. Imagine getting caught with openly racist stickers in Hackney!

Scraped down a load of British movement stickers round the corner from Bentley rd car park about a year back

I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a fash non-covid sticker.

There were a load of antifa stickers on the estate there the last time I walked through.

I'm guessing the south east entrance is in Hackney, diagonally opposite of FB entrance?

I think so

 

[andysays]

I'm pretty sure that three out of the four entrances are in Hackney. The only one which isn't is the one next to the Park (which is Haringey).

I always thought the park entrance had a very different feel to it, compared to the others. That explains it, it's a cultural thing

Taking them down is great, but getting them all can be an impossible task for one person. Every bit helps! I really like it when I’m out and about and I see that someone else has done their bit - reassures me that I’m not the only one who cares about this stuff.

That mezzanine has been up for some time before the new owners took over according to someone on insta (and I think she's correct as I remember that changeover and the works seemed to be mainly decorative.). However it was an art gallery/space and not as heavy traffic as the bar would have been. I bet there wasn't any sort of building regs adhered to. Same as the one I'm in. Expecting inspections soon...

Two More Years is named because the landlords always answer the question as to when it's getting pulled down for flats, "2 more years". It's been 2 more years for a year now since I moved in.

I swung by today to make sure I could get into work tomorrow and all was quiet, obviously shutters down in the bar. Yet to find out if any of our neighbours were in there, hopefully everyone is OK.

 

[blossie33]

Sounds as though there were no serious injuries now.
I know someone who is a Clapton FC supporter - was wondering if he was there!
