West Norwood news, chitter chatter and gossip

Took my girl for a roast at Knowles. Food was absolutely lovely. I'm a fussy so and so and rarely find roast dinners all that when I eat out.

The roasties were roasted as opposed to deep fried, chicken was tasty and plenty of it as we always share, gravy delicious. If I had anything to gripe about it would be that there could have been a bit more veg but you can buy a side of veg to top up which I may do next time.

It was peaceful in there and service was efficient and friendly. I really rate this place.
 
Anyone know of anywhere I can get a document printed on the high street? I need to renew my passport and haven't found the printer amongst the pile of unpacked boxes :oops:
 
There's a place in TH near the white hart. Or the computer shop next to beamish and Mcglue but I don't like the man in there very much.

:D

Thanks. Ideally I'm looking somewhere further up the WN end if there is anywhere but I can't think of a place off the top of my head. Would just make my life easier as I've got a load of errands to run tomorrow and don't want to walk up to TH if I don't need to.

I think there may be a place opposite the Great Northwood? If it hasn't shut down since last time I went up that way in daylight.

Ta. I'll take a look there first tomorrow before I wander up to TH. I think I know the place you mean but I don't remember ever seeing it open.
 
The scaffolding's come off "The Loft" development above Iceland.

Fairly bland but I've seen worse.
 
It has been a while since I looked at mortgage rules but I think that to buy that, you're going to need £62k for the deposit, £18k for stamp duty, so £80k in cash, plus a joint salary of about £130k to borrow the rest.

What's the chance of finding someone who has all that and who also wants to live in a flat in West Norwood?

Hundreds of people, West Norwood has been skyrocketing for property for the last 4 or 5 years. We moved up from Coldharbour Lane 'cos we couldn't afford a bigger place there for the new nipper and by the time we moved in we wouldn't have been able to afford it again.

People who'd like to live in Brixton/East & West Dulwich and Clapham but can't afford to are here now, encouraged by locality, transport links, good schools, new leisure centre, cinema coming, funding for street/frontage improvements, The Feast etc.
And the White Hart :D:D

We thought this about the flats on the site of the old Harriers pub and Cooltan before that and they're going for a fortune. Bet they'll all be sold by Easter.

It looks to be under offer already...
 
So, West Norwood was absolutely banging tonight. Metamono played an awesome analogue set in the Book and Record Bar. Really friendly upbeat atmosphere. And then out of nowhere, Alex Paterson (The Orb) ended up DJing alongside the truly fabulous Blenda Jaxxon. Proper special :D :thumbs:
