The industrial estate on Tottenham Lane has a Deliveroo kitchen, which pumps out everything from Beer&Burger to Deliveroo's own stuff that they pretend are from real restaurants. That said I don't doubt that Deliveroo brings a lot of business to…
I listen to quite a few podcasts, and I think part of the appeal of at least some of them is that they are partly personality-led and you get to feel like you know the presenters. The twaddle bit at the start is part of the 'you're here with us' thi…
Grenners makes a good point - it's humungous and with rear-access too. So you probably could fit that number of flats in without going too high, though doubtless they'll try.
@sustent - if they replaced it with something of that quality I'd be overjoyed. Modern touches but much more in-keeping with the surrounding Victorian buildings.
I'm not as diligent as I used to be, but I haven't spotted one. Nothing comes up on the planning portal.
If I recall correctly it is a site identified by the Council for redevelopment. Nothing would please me more than seeing the existing building…
There are always exceptions to this. But my usual rules are:
1) don't order from takeaway-only places (key exception - Salims on Turnpike Lane)
2) don't order from places that do multiple cuisines (e.g. Asia Star 'Chinese and Thai cuisine'). Special…
"Money is required to rebuild the station so a property company offer to pay for it if they can put flats there."
For the record, with Finsbury Park I don't think that's the nature of that relationship at all. The City North development was built o…
I have seen Dylan nearly 20 times and that Fleadh gig was the worst by a fair distance. There was a period c.2006-10 where he decided that he didn't even need to try to sing and that a weird guttural throat noise would do instead, and 2009 was the n…
The idea that nationalist, socially conservative or libertarian views are somehow underrepresented in UK discourse has always baffled me. It reminds me of the Daily Mail reader insisting that it's impossible to talk about immigration while perusing …
Toooooo consistent. No-one really has all of these clichéd speaking-like-they've-never-heard-the-other-side-of-the-argument opinions all at the same time. At least not after fresher's week. I'm on to you. Sometimes I think you might be Chang.
Looks like the plans to restore Tower House on Fonthill Rd are proceeding. Look at that restored cupola!

Looks like the crappy building next door will have a replacement façade to …
Krappy, I'm surprised that the missus hasn't banned your fire: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/feb/16/home-wood-burning-biggest-cause-particle-pollution-fires
Not sure you quite catch my drift. If one did happen to be a billionaire who was in the process of giving away most of his billions to good causes, then ending traditional meat production while rewilding the land traditionally used for that purpose …
I'm not really into the billionaire-led model, but simultaneously owning lots of farmland while investing in products that will end traditional meat production is a *very* smart place to be right now.
So little excuse to go down there these days, but I must say I really like it now they've opened up the new streets and shops like Boulangerie Bon Matin and Rosa's Thai have opened. The tile mural thing is fantastic, and the public realm is really h…
Man I wish pubs were still a thing, this would be a great conversation. Gets right down in to the philosophical bowels, doesn't it?
Lot of ways I could answer your question Brodiej, but the quickest one is probably "yes I try - and doesn't everyone…
(I'm going to have to be a bore, sorry)
They do have a 'right' to at present, that's absolutely true, but not a right for it to be convenient. I don't want to ignore anyone's 'needs' as you put it, but their desire to place convenience over a less …
Brodiej makes an impassioned defence, but the only bit that I find persuasive is the 'I commuted out 50 miles' bit, and even then only if that journey was impossible by public transport. For non-disabled Londoners I don't see why a car is ever nece…
