Herne Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip

[BoxRoom]

I thought the sign said it was opening on 17th May when I went past last week. My guess is the amount of outdoor space there isn't worth the cost of opening up till they can have punters inside.

Aye, got an email from them saying they're open 17th May.

Hello,

Does anyone know if the biltong stall is still at the Herne Hill market? I think it's called Meat Boss.

Anyone?

Cheers,

Rbubish

The good news is that you search for them in Google, the second result is:

Overcharging in fruit and veg shop

Am I the only person that is consistently being overcharged by the graceless blonde woman in the "Seasons of England" shop? Does she single me out or does it happen to everybody who's been shopping there for years and years?

Satisfying. Only a shame they dont get to claim the property, ringfenced as a council let.

surely all of the rent are proceeds of crime ?

 

[Torpid Scorpion]

The crime is his tenants are almost certainly out of a house and the landlord remains at large.

Here's hoping Lambeth gave them some additional priority points eh

Elaine (The Flower Lady) is currently looking after a pet cockatoo found in Brockwell Park. It’s very tame so obviously has escaped from someone’s house.

Temporary traffic lights and they’ve removed the pedestrian island between The Chutney and Pizza GoGo.

Wonder what sort of business would want such a dark gloomy arch? customers would risk being shat on going in or out, certainly it wouldn't encourage window shoppers.

Can anyone remember that arch being used? I've a vague recollection of a newsagent/tobacco shop open to the street or am I imagining that or thinking of somewhere else? I've lived in SE24 since 94 and dont recall it being in use in that time. In the 90s about half the shops were boarded up.

I originally thought it was the gas works engineers using that arch as a base - apparently not - Herne Hill is getting its eighth coffee shop.

The new mural is up and one of the refurbed units that’s been empty for years had a viewing yesterday.

Did anyone else read somewhere (some time ago) that Herne Hill has the highest density of coffee shops per capita in London?
