What's it like to live in Brixton / Brixton Borders

How about stupid arson? Could that be a charge? Like a guy I was drinking with last week who told me he tried to torch a flash harry's motor and set fire to himself ... durr

he didn't start the fire accidentally

I suspect the excuse that it was always burning since the world's been turning won't wash at Southwark Crown Court.

What's going on in that video? Are they after someone in particular? The guy on the other side of the street in the white shirt seems like a bystander who just runs in the same direction as them rather than the opposite...

Cross post from Spare rooms thread:

We have a single bedroom available from Nov onwards in Oval - just off Brixton Road, walking distance to Brixton Cycles!

You'd be living with me and 1 other in a lovely house. Bonus: there is bike shed storage - can take 2 bikes. PM me if interested/to find out more.

There was some talk about the Tulse Hill Hotel on here a while back.

I'd had a drink there a couple of times but had my first meal there on Sunday.

Excellent, IMO. Yes it's pricy, but this was a treat. £30 quid for a roast ham hock to share between two, and you could have comfortably fed four with it. Pub roasts are often very poor, but this one was a winner. Great service too, and they let us take a load of ham home in foil for our sandwiches on Monday.

The beer selection was a bit "crafty" for my tastes, but otherwise would go again.

Yo, anyone no where I can buy muslin in Brixton? Wanna boil some puddin. Morleys haberdashery first, but if they don't have any?? THEN WHAT

There's loads of fabric shops around think there's one on Atlantic Rd

Mothercare

No way. This solves all my cheese-making woes.

By the looks of it Dogstar cheap out on bouncers and hand everyone glass at 2am, would happen eventually.

Is Brixton Hill still closed anyone know? Was a burst water main this morning that had bust the road open - didn't look like they'd be sorting it too quickly.

Definitely still closed for vehicles, don't know if you can walk past. It will be closed for days according to this report:

Yes closed till best part of the week. Just a repair to be done. Then a decision on what the next steps are.

Open to peds. No vehicles
