  • There was also a (secret) garden center which was amazing for geraniums. Its got massive greenhouses. Think its shut up now. Waste - could be a thriving space.
  • I liked it but I have only seen him once. If that was at a low point, I imagine what he would be like now.
  • Actually looks like he'll make it.
  • Bread by bike also deliver to Deli 80 on Stroud Green Road. Well he used to as they have stopped baking whilst they are raising funds through Kickstarter. He told me he would continue to deliver to Deli 80 and an alternative venue near Blighty.
  • More devolution is the only way to sort out the issues with the disenfranchised. For instance, London needs more power. We contribute a significant amount to the coffers of this country and will need to provide more and more in the future now bec…

  • Reading the website it looks like all the funds are put back into the park. But that just reduces the burden on the council budget for other uses, Guess they are under massive pressure to balance the books. Can't blame them for looking for revenue. …
  • Tricky one this but I did enjoy Bod Dylan and The Arctic Monkeys in the park. Very memorable. It does need to be managed very, very, very carefully though and I don't think Haringey have got it right otherwise they wouldn't have so seriously upset t…
  • I wouldn't worry about insurance with Uber: 1) Uber has deep pockets and probably insurance to back this, the law could go after them as they were negligent. 2) Claims 3rd party injuries (such as passengers) caused by uninsured drivers are covered…
  • Arkady, thanks for posting. I thought the councils license for the closure runs out end of the year (as posted to the temporary fencing) and presumably have some powers to refuse/ litigate. If I was a conspiracy theorist, I might think that TFL …
  • This is a bit miss-threaded as the work is related to the lifts for the station platforms and not directly related to City North's development. It is related in that the railway workers had to use the road because access through City North was not p…
  • Also according to the bce map, finsbury park is not actually part of the finsbury park constituency. I'm sure the squirrels will be unhappy about that...
  • I wonder if anyone knows any local councillors who this can be taken up with. Isn't this a good issue to raise?
  • I think the council also controls what the premises can be used for. So I think they can ensure it will always be a nightclub.
  • On the subject of the Archway pool I'm pretty sure that, like me, many SG people with children have spent Sunday morning in that place. Fantastic kids swimming lessons all year round. The advantage being that it tires the kids out and makes them muc…

  • Finsbury Park's alright. Which makes it pretty good. It looks a bit rough on the outside which keeps it genuine. Not so flashy but scratch the surface a little and there is some really good amenities that makes it a good place to live - if you want …
  • Agree the future is looking good for car emissions in cities. Electric cars and trucks (TK Max/ UPS) are driving around the city now. The Major is well over due putting restrictions on non electric commercial travel. I would have thought commercial …
  • I like London Fields lido (50m and heated during the winter) which although not that local is a 15-20min cycle away and happens to be on my way to work. They offer free swim doctor coaching twice a week. Tuesday evening and Thursday morning I think.…

  • Is there a league table widget?
  • I follow Ali's comments on it lacking a exec summary and Luirette's on sympathy for situation and impact on other areas. Key is to find win-win or win-0 impact changes. Win for ladder residents and 0 impact/ win for neighboring areas. An good ini…
  • Hold on you might need this link - the other one I posted doesn's seem to work [https://google.co.uk/maps/place/Finsbury+Park/@51.5663615,-0.1070369,149m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x48761b854518c3ff:0x3b1ea39b68070798!8m2!3d51.5687115!4d-0.1027059]…
  • @Arkady, no worries - hadn't realised that would kill it. I don't seem to have an image hosting site so stroudgreeners will just have to following my reasoning - or look it up on google maps. [https://goo.gl/maps/tcSRvFhdG2r] I was just think…
