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.

    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
    • I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.  
    • I see what you mean.  Perhaps the "alcohol licensing flyer for Tesco Express on the Poundland site" confirmed by the OP has been removed then.
