http://www.antic-ltd.com/ these people have bought the White Hart in Clapton (close to the Lea Bridge Road Roundabout) it's where Chimes and the Palace bar were - they've bought the pub bit - the old cinema building is still for sale.
more chat from them here
http://www.yeahhackney.com/groups/h.../white-hart-new-owners-1/?topic_page=1&num=15
the place has been closed for a few years since the Police managed to get the place closed down due to a lot of violent incidents - I'm guessing they will be converting it into some sort of gastro-pub sort of place - gentrification in Clapton!!!
They own the Dogstar in already gentrified Brixton!!!

shut it you egg!
dunno but kingsland road going north at the junction was completely at a standstill when i cycled by tonight. so it could be sheer weight of traffic?
boohoo
No.
Clapton got a bit gentrified after I left - loads of new builds, and that bar place by the old Salvation Army facade. And there was some delis and all the signs of trendy people.
Now I'm on the Hackney thread, lets talk about Brixton....
Miss-Shelf
I'll meet you further on up the road
I went back to viccy park last week - I've been left about 4 months and in that time another deli has opened and the trades-people shop has been replaced by a retro sweet shop. How do all these hobby shops survive?
give it a few years and tulse hill will have hobby shops I tell ya

The new owners have been speaking about their plans on another discussion board (Hackney based one) They are thinking of calling the new place The Clapton Hart, and seem to be not in favour of my suggestion, The Black Hart of Clapton - thereby doing themselves out of all the Goth business in the borough

An interesting (to some, ) new site featuring old radical Hackney publications.
All from the pre-internet nineties so far (Hackney Community Defence Association, Hackney Against The Cuts (!) and the original Hackney Heckler).

Judging by Mr Brand's VERY successful track record with the ladies I would say he's not the worst style icon in the world to imitate!

British Waterways going after boat peeps in a bid to clean up Hackney waterways before the Olympics. Some yuppie scrote in the comments slagging off boaters who were probably living there before she ever heard of Hackney:

Supposedly they're having a consultation about it:

Getting a bit fed up with these attempts to gentrify Hackney, got many friends who will be affected by this. They probably won't be able to go back to squatting either if that gets criminalised in the meantime.

Good name idea! However Clapton hart is good as it references the old name. Should called it white-clapton-chimes-hart-by-the-pavillion. Is that pub by the princess still there?

Another bike under a lorry this afternoon south of Dalston Junction, apparently the bike is in two pieces so not looking good for the cyclist :-(

One on one? You're crazy.
It has been squatted - after it was squatted for several months before it was sold
gentrification on hold.

the squatters have gone - not before ripping out a load of stuff from the building , according to the owners - not the nice type of squatters
supposed to be opening up in the Autumn.

apparently Sainsbury's want a slice of Church Street - there's a site behind yum yums - near Whole Foods - the chattering middle-classes will be in uproar
begging Waitrose to come
That's a car park isn't it or are you meaning by the units at the side of Wilmer Place?
Can't think why they'd want another branch there when they have one in Stokey High Street and a large one on Stamford Hill
Anyone any idea what was happening round London Fields last night? Helicopters out for hours, police everywhere until about 2:30am. Seemed to be searching for something (torches, poking at undergrowth with sticks) and saw some taking riot shields out the back of a van...

some nathan lost a contact lens prolly.
a 73 bus caught on fire this morning on stamford hill somewhere. and the cops taped off the back of a park on butterfield green on monday on a possible sexual assault apparently, which is the second such incident in the area recently (one other in clissold pk), so women are advised to be safe atm in that area by the sounds.

yep, up by the crossroads with upper clapton rd - proper fucked up the traffic this morning - I was stuck on a bus for ages

so was a few people i heard, whole of a10 southbound shut, which sounds a bit over-dramatic for one bus fire to me...

plus it wasn't on fire when I passed it, and it was actually at the bus stop, not in the middle of the road
