https://www.haringey.gov.uk/news/deputy-leader-statement-finsbury-park "The impact of the event this year has caused several weeks’ worth of damage to the park and as a result we have had to rethink our approach. To prevent the risk of this repeati…

On the Greene King website it says there will be a beer garden

Yeah, from the proposal it says "the food store’s rear service yard will be enclosed", so it the flats at the rear and the "new internal courtyard" will be build on top of that space. If you compare the site plan shown on image 8 on the website (ti…

We had a couple of tikka wraps from Salik - the bread was freshly made in front of us, it was delicious

I read this article recently which was quite interesting. Seems like you can use your existing radiators but they generally run less hot. I guess it’s a “slow and steady” approach. https://tomkiss.net/life/going_fossil_free_in_a_terraced_victorian…

"avert prank" => "park tavern"

The direct PDF links didn’t work for me, but if anyone else is interested, they’re in planning application P2021/0326/AOD

Have they renamed the buildings? I’m sure “carriage house” used to be called “the linear building”

With the RingGo app, it's important that you set yourself up as a "resident", and then book using the "permits" tab in the app. Otherwise you're definitely paying more than vouchers. For example, using the permits section of the RingGo app lowers t…

Just noticed that E. Mono is on the list, and their only "seated" eating area is basically outdoors anyway (albeit beside a heavily trafficked bit of pavement), but that might be a good way for the risk averse to take advantage of the scheme.

I had a signed-for small parcel take a month, so even special services are being impacted. Hopefully it’s better now though.

Welcome!

Anyone else noticed that, with the weather in the last few days, the street corridor around new entrance has turned into a giant wind tunnel? I wonder if that came up in planning at all.
-
Is it conceivable that they were keen to open the entrance ASAP, and it’s not actually finished yet? I hope they put up some departure screens at least.
-
Hurrah! Glad to hear it
-
Wasn’t there some competition for art to be put in this space? Presumably that’ll be installed once the major construction is done.
-
My other half said that one of the TFL staff told her it would be about a month before the rest of the street opens, but the official statement is “spring 2020”
-
The entrance is open now (or was this afternoon, when I was down they were messing around with the entrance gate, maybe just checking it worked). Access to both underground lines and the national rail is open from this entrance, and the latter is st…

That proposed retail unit in the Arts building looks pretty big, at least 8 times the floor space of Walnut (the restaurant that was in there previously): https://planning.islington.gov.uk/NorthgatePublicDocs/00528734.pdf Given the documents refer …

@Arkady where'd you see that? I really like Picturehouse but then there's this: http://www.picturehouselivingwage.com/

> I haven't passed Goodwin Street in a while. Does anyone know what will happen (or has already happened)—if anything—to the nice old sorting office building there? @Scruffy I think it’s been left pretty much as-is; I believe there’s a printing …

Is it just me or have they removed the big luggage areas near the doors?

I popped in to the showroom today, but didn’t pick up a bag. The guy at the desk said he thought the tube entrance wasn’t going to open until mid-January now, but I hope he’s wrong. Anyway, it was quite interesting to look around the model of the de…

Great news!

I spoke to the manager of Tenmaru, the new ramen place on Clifton Terrace yesterday - super friendly and looking forward to a soft opening at the end of this month. They are apparently going to diverge from the current trend of tonkotsu (rich, pork-…

I registered as a new NHS patient with Torrance Dental on Seven Sisters Road a couple of weeks ago and was seen very quickly and efficiently.

Might be related to this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-london-49767569/inside-one-of-london-s-victorian-underground-reservoirs

Does anyone know if the timetable for opening the new entrance is still "Autumn 2019"?
-
It seems like some of the staff are starting a new thing (https://www.bvcatering.co.uk) but it's not clear to me at all what is actually happening to the SGR location.

The place on Fonthill road (if it is them that is moving) looks like it had its premises forcibly repossessed by the landlord, according to a sign in the window of the old shop on Fonthill Road…
