Herne Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip

The poor pup was attacked in front of the kid whose pet it is too. It was a little fluffy poodly type thing.

oh good grief.. that's horrible.

Sharing this here and on the Brixton thread as I know people that live there and the way they're being treated is frankly disgusting:

Apparently he ran off but all the shopkeepers know who it is. There are cameras in the tunnel too, so hopefully the Transport Police will take a look.

The transport police will be to busy checking tickets for any of that lark.

I couldn't find a general Herne Hill forum, so I thought I'd start this one up with a mention of the street piano by the station.

This guy was a really good player and wonderfully lost in the music.

It was hiding.

Damn! My search failed to find the original thread although I was sure there was one. It's now been duly merged.

The new venue next to the Commercial is opening this weekend apparently. There was frenzied activity inside when I passed on Thursday. It's called The Milkwood.

I was at the launch. Will post up photos soon. They've done a very good job of the interior.

Looking at the food that's on offer, they're definitely not going for the family friendly / NCT crowd. That ought to be a good draw round Herne Hill; somewhere kid-free.

Are you looking at the same menu as me?

Babaganoush, radishes and flatbread is pretty much all that kids in Herne Hill eat.

Really not enjoying the new pavement flags along Dulwich Road and then end of Railton. What's the point? Brand Herne Hill®?

They've got a specific kids menu so I doubt it's going to be kid-free.

what flags? I didn't notice any yesterday

Yes. I thought that. Looks cluttered and serves what purpose? Seems a funny thing to spend money on when complaining about tight budgets.

 

[Smick]

They are all the way along Dulwich are as said. I wouldn't call them flags. Vinyl rectangles with pictures of local buildings like the Lido, Brockwell Hall etc. I've seen the same portraits in the window of the picture framer and seen postcards at the market with them.

I quite like it

 

[friendofdorothy]

Surprised I didn't notice them, but I was a bit pissed at the time.

 

[Smick]

There seems to be some form of spring holding them on, made of black metal, which could, to my feeble eyes, be some form of antenna. Maybe they are revenue generating! We're being spied on by 1920s BR style posters!

I reckon that will do really really well - like the "under Milkwood" idea.. very clever. It's also a very nice menu.

 

[Ms T]

It was pretty busy yesterday lunchtime when frequented by me and Mr Magpie. We had a nice lunch and not too pricey.

Maybe someone can tell me how this place is up and running when the licence application hasn't been ok'd by the council....

Some of the local artists are showing off their work this weekend,

Probably because the place is licensed but under someone else's name. They are most probably transferring the licence holder's name. I know the owners as the Railway is my local and doubt very much that they would risk opening illegally.

Try reading the application the link goes to, it is for a variation that's all.

The new owner has an outstanding parking fine and wears size 9.5 shoes (left foot slightly larger than right). Although he shares that dustbin with a neighbour so I may be mistaken.
