Inspired by snorks via quids.


Wembley Stadium, ok far from perfect but that old stadium, iconic it may have been but it was just awful in every possible way.

The Roundhouse, from down at heel theatre to London's best music venue.


errrmmmm


The Black Cherry -> Draught House?

..which is ironic, because in their incarnations before those they were...The Pheonix* and The Plough



*and Firkin

Blackfriars Station - WAS a fetid series of tiny corridors with no room for people to move between overground and underground stations. NOW it's a bright, airy station with plenty of room to get about, and 2 extra overground platforms. And it's not even finished.


The HOB. WAS a nondescript boozer albeit with a decent pinball table. NOW it's one of the best comedy clubs in London and the boozer is slightly more script. Plus you can order or take in food from anywhere else. Bonus


Green & Blue site. WAS a good, if slightly overrated cafe, then a very sorry and sad Italian restaurant before becoming one of the best wine shops and bars around

Blackfriars, bits of it still a bit claustrophobic and can't wait for the hoardings to come down on the main platforms, but I'm genuinely excited about what it will become.


On a similar note Kings Cross is less the hell hole it has always been these days.

Claustrophobic? I suppose the northboundplatform was a bit temporary corridor, but it has opened right up this week. And I know what you mean about the hoardings


It's all golden compared to the temporary pedestrian bridge that was at Denmark Hill tho

St Pancras is now one of the nicest stations around. And while I've not been in the hotel, the frontage now looks absolutely stunning. And the wider Kings Cross area is smarter and less seedy than it used to be.


Locally... Foresters Arms was a complete shithole (I don't care if it had pool tables), The Bishop is a lot better, despite the influx of knobs on the weekends.


The Tiger in Camberwell is a massive improvement over the Silver Buckle.

    • Another singing Leon's praises.Professional,efficient.Fairly priced.Great communication.  And happy to do my couple of small jobs.    
    • They’ve overhauled the kitchen and I gather they have a new chef. Also, a new menu is on the way.   What with Norbert’s arriving soon on Melbourne Grove, there’s going to be an Interesting offer down there.   
    • I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills. 
    • GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).
