Anyone been to this and willing to review? The Amazing World of M.C. Escher | Dulwich Picture Gallery
£13/14 seems a bit pricey to me when you can go to stuff in town for nothing. But I like the artist.
Sorry its not HH - but it's on the way (on a P4 anyway).

Am actually going today. Will let you know if worth it

I met the lass that owns The Fringe on Half Moon Lane last night. They are extremely reasonable imo esp for HH, £32 for wash, cut and blowdry for long hair.

I've never really inderstood why they charge more for cutting long hair. Is it cos they have to pump the chair up?! I honestly don't know. Short hair cuts require more effort and styling surely.

Had my hair cut in Brixton once, poncy bloody place can't remember the name of it now, and they charged me extra because my hair was a bit long. Yeah, I know, that's why I'm going to the hairdressers! Wankers.

 

[sleaterkinney]

me too, at least with Brixton I knew 4 or the stallholders and would do a deal late in the day to stock my freezer with the stuff they hadn't sold & would bin. Had heard the hh fish stall was good, but fresh fish on a Sunday? Unless I'm cooking it that day I'm unnecessarily paranoid.

And Maharani - on platform 1/2.

It's good until Tuesday/Wednesday ime.

Mate of mine came down from seven sisters to see it. Said it was fantastic. Have been meaning to go myself but not managed it yet.

It's really excellent. Lots to see and very interesting. If you can go during the week I would though as it was absolutely packed even though it was timed entry tickets.

That old shop on dulwich rd is getting turned into a cocktail bah.

which shop?

 

[snowy_again]

The one next to the photographers (the plumbers supply place).

 

[Lizzy Mac]

Curious. No one went to The Poet even though the drinks were great and there was an almost permanent Happy Hour.

Or early in the morning. We went at opening time and there was loads of room.

No 119, the old plumbers merchants

ooo! I've got a cocktail hat that hasn't had an outing in ages.
Hope there will be freeies, nibbles, special offers on opening night.
Anyone planning on going to this?

 

[leanderman]

It's an offshoot of Shrub and Shutter on Coldharbour Lane

 

[Sister Midnight]

15th December apparently...

Why hasn't Shrub And Shutter got a sign? Is it a fashion thing to have no signage?

Don't know, never been, does it just have a shrub outside and shutters as a subliminal clue?

Anyway its not in Herne Hill. Isn't it in the most deprived ward somewhere...

On CHL, there is/was wooden signboard projecting out on a pole set a little above the entry door. Maybe it has been nicked. It was within reach

Minimal signage (or reusing the previous business's sign) is standard hipster procedure to make it look more like a (social media saturated) 'discovery.'

 

[han]

Bloody ell.

 

[leanderman]

The revamp at the Florence has led to a better. roomier lay-out. Food and beer still uninspiring

 

[T & P]

Do they still have that toddler playroom at the back?

 

[leanderman]

Do they still have that toddler playroom at the back?

Yes.

 

[Ms T]

They told us it was going to be used for other things too. For some reason I've never warmed to the Florence.

 

[Smick]

There are kids drama, ballet classes etc which take place in there at the weekend. Not a far stretch from the creche it is, but I think they make money out of hiring it throughout the week.

Oh. Maybe it is being used for other things now then.

Certainly, the NCT mum groups are now out the front by the main bar.

 

[snowy_again]

Wasn't it for community groups / meetings etc?

 

[friendofdorothy]

Has the florence got rid of the ridiculously high seating yet?

Exactly. Yes

 

[friendofdorothy]

Exactly. Yes

we've just checked it out. Able to sit down with out losing my dignity.
