I'm sure I have seen it open in the past few weeks.
And I would have imagined it to have been very busy with Portugal playing in the Euros.

I was thinking to head down there when Portugal play next.

Maybe it's reopened. The owners treated my mate who lived above very poorly so I've no love for the place.

A lamppost banner has been hung (there might be more around, I don’t know) inviting punters to head to ‘SE27’ to enjoy its bars and restaurants.
I doubt that many people know where exactly SE27 starts ( it seems to be just past the railway bridge, so screw all the pubs and restaurants this side of it, I guess
). Shame the arrow is directing people towards Herne Hill…

The iconic brown uniforms that were a feature of the area for decades may have gone, but the building will be put to use:

Not that I disagree with his theological liberal positions, I find it difficult to understand whether Rev Steve Chalke is a minister of religion, a businessman or a "social entrepreneur".
Hopefully this new use of the school will be beneficial to the users - and prevent redevelopment of the site.

Chalke is one of the good ones and has radically - and thankfully - changed his position on many conservative evangelical views including support of LGBTQ+ issues

Electric Brixton sold out for Sunday night, wish I'd thought of that, could imagine it would be good

I’m Spanish so no plans to watch it anywhere other than at home, anyway.
Might have considered a Spanish bar if there was one locallly, but the closest thing is the various Portuguese joints around, and they’ll be cheering for England even more fervently than any pub full of English fans

I’m generally in favour of pubs taking business measures to ensure they remain financially viable, as well having some kind of capacity management control in certain high profile occasions, but if the £15 is just to get in and doesn’t come with drinks or food credit, that’d be a massive pisstake.

The Hoot have been charging £6.12 for all England matches. Don't think they did very well for the first few but that business model is now starting to pay off. It is after all an 'entertainment venue'. They provide the entertainment and the punter pays for the privilege. Bit like Netflix/ Disney/ Paramount/ except you have to leave home and engage with reality.

I saw the dude putting it up on the billboard as I was coming home from work today. I wonder how that going to work though.
What would be awesome is lambeth putting up a big screen in Windrush square. Obvs ain't going to happen as it takes planning for security and tech and stuff and a council is never going to be agile enough.
I'll be on the sofa where I can see the screen, and no queues for the toilet or bar.
I’m not English so didn’t go anywhere to watch the recent matches, but happened to be at the Co Op in Tulse Hill as the Switzerland match finished and there was an exodus from The Railway. Hundreds leaving.
They’re going to need extra staff, extra security, more cleaning, and people won’t stick around, getting their last pint at 70 minutes on the clock so they can be gone at the final whistle. The very most they can hope to achieve is 90 minutes of good trade.
I think it’s fair enough to charge in, especially as they have such a good big screen, which is covered in case it rains. It’s a quality offering. And it also allows them to regulate the number of people coming in. No point in having 800 people in there if nobody can get near the bar for a drink.
They have shown themselves to be decent by hosting live music and DJs every week, without cover charge.

St Martin's in the Field School wasn't led well. There was nothing distinctive about it. And when it failed, the Church of England had no idea what to do with the site. The Oasis trust has put together a plan to run a pupil referral unit there.
Now why couldn't the Church of England have done that?
Church of England shut down Archbishop Tennisons at the end of last year and shipped all their year 11s elsewhere. They should have provided quality intensive education for a year for those year 11s within their cohort, but that would have cost a lot.
The borough has a real shortage of specialist places, I don't see them offering to set up a specialist provision based on their core Christian values.

The way I see it is that the Church of England schools are seen by the church as a sort of top slicing income to support their churches and church staff - and also to incentivise parents to become church members/attenders.
The money to run these schools comes from the council surely?
I'm not in Tulse Hill, but live in St John's Angell Town parish & have had dealings with St Matthews Lilford Road (which doesn't have a school).
There is currently a proposal to merge St Saviours's School Herne Hill Road with St John's Angell Town school in Angell Road SW9.
I don't know who actually owns the school buildings in either case - but it would seem to be logical for Lambeth Council/Southwark Diocese to clear St Saviours - a prime residential site where some of the school building are prefabs.
Angell Town on the other hand is a brand new school building, only 10 years old. But the demographics may be not to the liking of Herne Hill residents? Some people may have wasted their money buying their house in a "good school area" if this merger goes ahead in the new Angell Town site?
St John''s demographics:
Yes, local authority but church buildings. They could have supported those AT students to a less disruptive end.
Lots of schools are merging due to falling roles but not much creation of specialist places. Also some of the alternative provisions which were set up 7-10 years ago are having to move as they were initially placed in less popular schools, to boost numbers I'm sure, but have failed to attract a good intake due to the schools they were placed in.
It's a bit of a mess with cash strapped local authorities fighting local parent groups. The former can't find the money to keep expensive empty schools open, the latter argue to save community schools but also that population projections show there will be an upswing again and then no schools.
I've moved this away from the church discussion, sorry, which tbh I wasn't fully following.

I tried to message them via their website to find out more but the form is borked. Where did you hear it from?
According to CAMRA it has a " pub interior of special national historic interest."
Horns Tavern, West Norwood
Typical locals pub serving food and showing the main sports matches on screen.

As a local at the Horns it is true.
I would probably have put this in West Norwood rather than Tulse Hill as it's right opposite the station but anyway.
Apparently the brewery offered her a very shit deal, and the main boss man couldn't even be bothered to turn up.
Locals offered to try and campaign/ write a strongly worded letter, but Alison asked us not to.
It's very sad and last day will be NYE, which will be ticketed for locals as normal.
Suspicion is they will refurb to make it yet another middle class, soulless place.
