I hope everyone's going to get cross about this:


http://www.southlondon-today.co.uk/news.cfm?id=39647&headline=%E2%80%98Rent%20hike%20will%20be%20a%20disaster%E2%80%99


Apparently landlords of Brixton Village (one of the best things to happen to South London for some time) want to hike the rents already.


It was probably inevitable it would turn into Borough Market, but surely not this fast?

It looked suitably busy & vibrant indeed. It's hard to get the balance right in any of these places though. And the standard has moved up somewhat, though I do like some of the madder looking places too ( like the ju-ju/spiritual shop ) it adds to the overall experience. What you don't want is the Hoxton/Portabello thing happening there with "safe-but-hip" Byron burger et al blah blah blah moving in. It's a homogenous plateau from there on in (except for the landlords of course )


Other things are moving along in the area too, with three new markets opening in Station Rd.

Brixton Friday food market starts Nov 4th.

Brixton Flea market will be on the 1st saturday of each month starts Nov 5th.

Brixton Vintage & Retro market on the 3rd saturday of each month starts Nov 19th.


See here for other south-london-guff & not a bad little paper to boot.

    • update - we got a space which is ideal for what we needed at Dulwich storeage (thanks for the suggestion,  ed_pete)
    • I think I am becoming addicted to reporting dog waste and fly tipping - so easy to use, who knows the council might actually put some dog waste bins back up (we used to have one on Ulverscroft Road) and signage to remind careless owners to pick up their dog's mess and put it in a bin - preferably their own bin or a black public one rather than someone's green or blue bin, or leave it on the pavement. So disgusting.
    • I recently had Greg install some radiators and TRVs - he was very professional and efficient, and did the job well! He also helped me out in a pickle with a leaky bathroom towel rail. I'd recommend! Thanks Greg! 
    • Oh dear. Sadly I had a disappointing meal on Saturday night. I should have read Malumbu's review above before I ordered. I thought I'd have a dosa for a change. Our meal arrived very quickly. However the dosa was more like a thick and very soggy pancake. The filling was fine. The sambar (sp?) was fine. The chutneys were not what I was expecting, and had a consistency more like sauces.  That might be my lack of knowledge of South Indian food, but I would have expected the coconut chutney to at least taste a bit like coconut. I left most of the actual dosa. My OH said his aubergine curry was delicious. I don't know whether the problem was that the dosa got soggy due to being wrapped in foil to be delivered, but tbh it didn't look like it had ever been a thin crispy dosa 😥 as I have always had in the past  at South Indian restaurants.
