I didn't realise it had closed

keeping a dog in the city is generally antisocial

Anyone heard anymore about the possible cinema?

I'm not sure the issue is whether or not people died on the site is the most obvious point of contention.

My booze cabinet is plagued with spirits

There seem to have been a lot of burglaries recently. Is this area being particularly targeted?

Does anyone know whether it's a pop up, or permanent? Love the mural.

Don't buy anything on the doorstep?

Might want to update the title of this thread, as it's a little misleading.

Yep, economies of scale mean that you reduce unit costs and increase your margins - making it possible to afford the bigger rents. A sole trader, even one that is popular, may struggle to compete.

Nice work mikeb

EDs getting more like Clapham every day. Depressing.

More parking will just mean more cars.

Despite this shocking cluster of deaths, it is wrong to think that cycling is a generally dangerous activity. On average for a UK cyclist, a serious injury corresponds to about 2 million km of cycling, or less than one in 1,000 annually. Cycling does not incur risks that are unusual by the standards of daily life, or that are outside the range of risks faced by motorists. What's more, there are significant health benefits to regular cycling.

Best. Thread. Ever.

It was a stag doo doo.

Thought it was a shame that the gallery on north cross road shut

Very excited indeed. Thanks James

The project is being managed by Phil Thompson at Southwark Council. Here is an excerpt from his email: "...We have over 300 locations around the borough that we are currently looking at and from this number we will hope to install a small handful of hangers in order to gauge response from our residents. All being well, after this stage, we will be looking to install cycle hangers borough-wide..."

I emailed Southwark Council about the Lambeth Hangers. Apparently they have not discounted there installation in the Borough, but are infact looking at 300 possible locations as part of a pilot!

That's a real shame regarding the Lambeth hangers - I believe the lack of secure, on-street parking for bikes really reduces take up. Most people either don't have the room to store their bike inside, don't have a garden / shed, or else can't be bothered carrying a bike through the house twice a day. It's interesting that cars aren't considered 'street clutter' despite the fact that one car takes up enough space for half a dozen bikes.

Start a program of works to install Lambeth Hangers on as many streets as possible. Would massively increase cycling.
