I went past the entrance a few days ago and caught a glimpse of what looked like - eek! - McDonalds-style 'edgy' graffiti art by the entrance but I'm not sure if it was freshly applied or just something left over from when it was squatted. I'm not sure if I could handle an edgy hotel opposite an edgy fast food store in Brixton. Too much urban vibrancy!
Mind you, if this carries on, it's time to invest in stocks of spray paint.

Joy moved to Acre Lane last year, a few doors up from McDonalds.

It moved a couple of years ago when the landlord evicted them for the hotel. They're on Acre Lane now instead just up from McDonalds.

I keep staring at the garish many-shades-of-grey façade, with its convenient walkway all around, thinking to myself "that thing's going to get tagged to fuck..."

You have summed up the cheap vulgarity of the design admirably.
Any idea what is happening to the out-building belonging to the Prince?
Seemed to be work going on in there recently. I think back in the late 1970s early 1980s when I first moved to Brixton that small building was used both as a record shop then a mini cab office (or vice versa).
Maybe originally it was the off-license for the pub (when only pubs were allowed off-sales of alcohol - up to 1970 or so) .

Looks like a high quality copy, complete with power sockets for extra vibrancy. Edgy!

Power sockets will be crucial for that check in selfie.
