New plans to refurb the railway bridge:

Although where the traffic / street signage / traffic lights etc are is anyone's guess.
 
Oh and the station's getting a revamp back to its illustrious Victorian ticket hall days.

I've always wondered what's upstairs now - I'm assuming empty?
Empty, yes. It was NR offices for a while. There's a complete lack of photos online, but I'm told it's a huge space.
 

I like the Arches to Let sign. Little did they know that jaunty hats would make a comeback.

On that related topic, I was tickled to see that although OTC snuck themselves in somehow on a long list for the TimeOut awards they didn't get a prize. The Regent staff went to the awards do last night, so I suspect some sore heads are being nursed today.
 
When I was a kid I always wanted to live in it. There or the elec substation on the Hayes line
Have you seen the converted electric (I think) building at the end of Pulross Rd? If has a large feature window straight onto the track. Lovely conversion.

They did a few Open Houses in the early days - was interesting seeing the project year-on-year.
 
Georgian food was the only decent grub I ate when living in Moscow. I still dream of hatchipuri (cheesy flatbread). I really wanted to go but it was too dangerous at the time.
We should all go! hendo can babysit while we have nights out in the old town ;)
 
Went to the launch of Canopy Beer last night - they're in the arches behind costcutter / old? makerspace on Norwood Road.

Two good beers - an IPA and a more Belgian amber ale, which was a bit dangerously drinkable. The sell sets of bottles or casks, and from the local shops. Lots of people from the velodrome, who always looks slightly different when not dressed in lycra.

They've got it right on lordship lane. Kebab and wine. Although I have to admit, it's usually been kebab and a can of Fosters that I've had in there.
