West Norwood news, chitter chatter and gossip

Wok U Like, near the railway station/theatre, consistently the best in the area.

Still haven't found this, but have now looked it up on the internets - reckon the day I went looking for it I stopped about 20 meters short of it :)

Went looking for Wok U Like again, forgot what number it was and didn't find it again :facepalm:

From this picture it looks like the place right by the train station/theatre, but I think it had a different name, definitely had a sign saying 'under nre management' and was completely shut.

I think you might be right, as I whizzed past on the bus earlier and thought I saw a new place where Wok U Like is/was. I'll check again tomorrow, but it'll be a real shame if it has gone.
 
i live in west norwood, and i love the place. get in quick, been told it's going to get more expensive. you got a few good resturants, a few good cafes, a few good pubs, a few nice parks, and there's some really nice leafy roads. no real no-go areas. love it.

what more can a man want

Well, I'm in two minds and can't decide on West Norwood or Gipsy Hill.
I'm looking at large one bed/ medium two beds and both are similarly priced.
The commute (zone 3) is roughly the same.

Has anyone lived in both areas?
 
The Elmira has shut down and this place is going up - passed it today on my way to the library but couldn't really work out what it's going to be..

their twitter site describes it as "shabbypopgrungechic"​

whatever that means? :D I take it to mean I'm probably a bit too old and definitely not chic enough. Still - be interesting to see what they're going to be like. Good luck to 'em.​

You'd have to leave the gaijinnippers at home too judging by their facebook page:

MINE BAR We are child friendly as long as they are a) nice ones b) virtually stationary c) completely silent.

yeah... I saw that too.. :D I bet they change that when they spot the herds of coffee starved mums and dads roaming the streets during the otherwise quiet daytime. ;) There is also likely to be a kid-friendly cafe opening up soon though.

eta.. yeah saw the noise nuisance notice posted on the window too.

apparently it's burgers, coffee and cocktails. Anyway, they're well in on the whole twitter/facebook thing. I reckon they'll make a go of it personally.
 
they say they are in tulse hill when clearly they are not. obviously the brixton-cool blast radius hasn't reached far enough west yet.
 
I reckon the whole area round Tulse Hill West Norwood station is West Norwood.

Corrected it for you ;)

ETA: Nor that I think Tulse Hill is more desirable than West Norwood or anything. But if the area around Tulse Hill BR is West Norwood, I guess I can say my house just on the other side of the South Circular crossing, by The Tulse Hill Tavern, must be in Herne Hill.

My estate agent was right all along :)

Tulse Hill is just a station and a road. It's where Brixton meets West Norwood
