Alright i changed my mind about the Pride of Tottenham after i called in yesterday on the way home from rehearsal, after a spurs match had finished. It is awesome on a match day. Really brightly lit with over the top loud dance music and everyone having a whale of a time. Landlord was real nice this time. i didn't even need to buy drinks, some total stranger just bought me them at his insistence. Handy tip: if someone in there asks you if you are a spurs fan say YES. Fun times.

awesome!!!
i went to this weird thing in bruce castle with local history talks and a litle homemade cake type cafe, I noticed they also had a cask of redemption and when i tried to pay they said no beer was all free as it was a memorial beer for a friend of theirs.

On the one hand, this is one of the most gentrificationy things I've seen so far in Tottenham, and makes me wonder how long N15/17 will stay cheap (rent-wise, anyway - I lived there for five years in my 20s while earning shit-all). On the other, I'm really excited about going here next time I'm in north London...
That would have been Terry's do, famous local historian and union chappie. I was invited by the widow but found I couldn't face it...
Good to see you last night

Trumpeting is good for you...
Tottenham is following in the footsteps of Hackney. Report this month said it was the hottest property spot in UK. I moved my business there after property developers dismantled the industrial space that was home to 40 small Businesses, I'm fully expecting Tottenham to go the way of Hackney over the next ten years, some would argue that's a good thing, others otherwise.
As has been said there is a lack of good cafés and restaurants serving decent coffee and/or food. Close to where we are (Tottenham Hale) the only place convenient to get a decent coffee is Costa Coffee which I detest. Pub wise is the Ferry Inn which has always served up a decent Sunday Lunch.
I like Tottenham and can see it is going to boom, our new workspace is in an incredible location overlooking Tottenham Lock. The crime aspect doesn't bother me in a scary sense, as after all we were formerly in Hackneys notorious 'murder mile', and that has changed. I doubt we will get more than three years here before the developers tear it down and build expensive rabbit hutches.
The transport links are great, a lady who works with us lives in King's Cross, it takes her 15 minutes to get to us. I've bought a kayak and we often run along the canal and can reach Hackney pretty quick.
Sadly there is a pattern to urban city development, creative and industrious people move into the cheaper areas bringing with them an attitude and a micro economy that booms the area, the property developers snap up the cheap properties and industrial live work space and then fuck it all up leaving behind sterile housing development aimed at nouveau yuppies. Tottenham is already heading that way.

work doesn't seem to have started on the place you moved out of - I heard the developer was looking to sell the site - real pity, liked it as it was, as I'm sure you did to.

Who am I to say you're wrong
"yes, nice big garden and pretty good beer selection. I approve of this place."

Sorry!
It was "that does look promising - is Tottenham the new Clapton/Stoke Newington?"

He's in process of selling, supposedly going ahead in April. The new buyers then plan to put in new planning permission. If sale doesn't go ahead then the current 'developer' plans to start developing. Personally I think its bullshit, he wants to sell and cash in at several million profit.
The original developers Bullshitted everyone including the planning committee, we all knew they had no intention of developing, so effectively got planning by deceit.
We Still have a small presence there along with one other unit, everyone else has gone. It's a ghost town and may stay that way for another year.

had an ex who lived in south tottenham and it seemed like an alright place. springfield park, though a bit more towards clapton than tottenham proper, is lovely and well worth a walk through on a nice day
