The Fridge reopening as Electric Brixton

Given their failures over the Tesco fiasco and the market situation, it does seem rather muppety to ask planning to intervene over a well designed facade. Maybe he's trying to get it turned into a supermarket. I gather they've allowed the Duke of Welly on Acre Lane to be flattened as well

I've no desire to defend Lambeth Planning dept, but it was hardly a "well designed facade".

Interesting idea, terribly executed.

The tarpaulin bits looked, intrinsically, like a temporary lash up. The vinyl overlays for the speaker cut-outs were undersized, so there were embarrassing 'short falls' where they didn't quite cover.

It was amateur. I doubt that's a specific planning regs issue, but my local pride insists they do better than that - given it's scale and prominence.
 
I paid my first visit to the refurbed fridge last night. It was a techno night so in some ways it felt like nothing much had changed... but I reckon they've done a pretty good job. Feels like they've invested in it properly.

I was pretty impressed with the sound set-up actually - it sounded good to me.

It was lacking in lasers, though.
