Thanks for the update Arkady. Do you know how many barriers/entry gates will be installed at Station Place? I passed through last night and there were only three installed (as in your picture). There's room for more and I hope more are to come, othe…
-
The issues get raised, but do they get dealt with? I still don't understand where the event fees go, and I have feeling the stakeholders group doesn't know as well What happened to the deal the council announced in 2013 where they handed over runni…

I mentioned this before but what about installing new ticket machines as well as the barriers at Station Place?
-
I wonder if TFL will install its own ticket machines on the Station Place side?
-
Is Pak's on there? Doesn't look like it but I haven't seen a hard copy of the brochure. I get that the trading association is promoting its members, this isn't really a new concept. But it isn't strictly about localism or the community good, it's ad…

If the aim is to promote businesses in the area then why leave out long standing shops that have served the community for decades. Do they simply not exist? Do the people they serve not exist? I think the Stroud Green Village Traders Association nee…

What's the difference between an owner of a City North flat who lives in Singapore or one that lives in Sheffield? It's buy-to-let investors against everyone else.

Thanks for posting the pic. Yes, it's a shame the Korean BBQs had to close, but I was more sad when First Out cafe closed. It looks like the facades will stay, which is good, but the insides will be gutted to fit the modern building, which is uninsp…

@TheMimsy - I take your point but old Central St Martins now houses Foyles, not just flats. Arkady, I thought the development around St Giles High Street & Denmark Street was directly related to Crossrail and the redevelopment of Tottenham Cour…

Arkady -- what's under the 'raised square'? Just wondering why a proper open space couldn't be accommodated with trees.
-
Thanks for the correction Arkady, if that's the case, then I think complaints should be sent in care of TFL. I have to say, my first reaction to the closure was that it would be a nightmare, I'm beginning to wonder about how bad it will actually be.…
-
You know more about these things than I do but it's TFL property and it seems to me if keeping the entrance open as long as possible and/or not inconveniencing station users were a priority for TFL, they would have made it a priority for the coun…
-
Isn't this a question of you get what you pay for? TFL isn't paying for this shiny new tube entrance and improvements to the station, the developer is, which is why I gather they get to call the shots as to what happens at the station. I doubt Isli…

Do we really live in an area that has characteristics of a village life? Sounds twee to me and something an estate agent would think up. Wouldn't #StroudGreenRoad suffice? Brands the area while being accurate at the same time.

@Sutent - I had Virgin at my last flat and found the service awful and the customer service worse. I'll never go back.

In the Autumn, I went from a walk from Broxbourne station (via train from Tottenham Hale) down the Lea River to back to Tottenham Hale. I think this was around 12 miles but we detoured to see Waltham Abbey so probably a bit more than that. To walk i…

I'll give it a go Time = Distance/Rate 5km/7.5kph = .6666 hours or 40 minutes (.6666*60) (that's about a 13-minute mile) 5km/7.6kph = .6578 hours or 39.47 minutes (.6578*60) 5km/8.0kph = .625 hours or 37.5 minutes (.625*60) (that would be about a 12…

@N19 I'm sorry as well. I shouldn't have responded so unkindly.
-
Thank you kind neighbours for pointing out what is obviously a TYPO, given that Finsbury Park appears in the very next line of my post. It's now corrected in CAPS. I know the difference between Finsbury Park and Finsbury. All I can say is WOW and ch…

The cafe in the P.O. is called 'Posta' Coffee.

Thanks for the warning. I used the machine yesterday afternoon and didn't notice anything odd or a skimming device on it. I checked my account this afternoon and there aren't any suspicious transactions.

I lived in a 'micro-flat' when I first arrived in London, on the Islington side of N4. They are not meant to be lived in long-term, i.e. more than 6-12 months. Haringey may be fulfilling the 'letter' of it's commitment to provide more housing for th…

The objections so far all seem to focus on parking, or lack there of, which seems misguided to me since most of the people living in these bedsits probably will be young and single and unable to afford both a flat and a car OR more likely they will …

If the train doesn't stop automatically, is the driver required to stop the train and investigate? It would still make more sense to wait until the train reaches the next platform and then pulling the emergency stop to alert the driver, who in turn …
-
@Sutent - pulling the emergency cord whilst the train is in motion makes absolutely no sense if you are ill. How are paramedics supposed to reach a train trapped in the tunnel? Either the train driver has to re-set the brakes and then pull into the…

My Cottage, an independent cafe has opened a few doors down and I would have thought that everyone would be falling over themselves to go in and support it. From the other thread, it looks like very few people have bothered. (You gave it a go Miss A…

Maybe Hummingbird is re-branding? There's a sign in the window saying they're on holiday looking for new recipes or something to the effect.

I thought there would be retail units along Lennox Road as well.

This article in the Telegraph says that it's not only Aldi and Lidl that Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury and Morrisons have been losing sales to - it also their own convenience stores: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/businesslatestnews/11205154/The-bigge…

To me it hinges on intention. In WWI, many young men didn't wait to be called up and signed up knowing full well that a likely consequence of doing so was death. So in a way, both options are true and true at the same time. What I find in these type…
