It would be a destination though, wouldn't it.


And surely it's exactly because it's in what is presently a drought place for beer that it would do well?


I would go, and I don't live up that end of ED.


ETA: No I didn't go to Barcelona (twice was enough) but that was because it was crap :))

It depends what you mean by a difficult site - it won't be close to the rest of the bars and restaurants on Lordship Lane so they won't get as much passing business or people stopping in before going to the cinema or on to eat. At the same time, there's a huge amount of homes nearby - the LL Estate, Underhill/Overhill/Melford/SC end of Wood Vale/Horniman that don't have anywhere to drink within a 10 minute walk. Come up with something that appeals to the local residents rather than passing trade and it will do well.


I don't think it's about "defending" the location - more that most of us would love somewhere to go out for a beer that involved a short walk - the Grove was always busy before it shut after the fire and Barcelona was averagely busy considering it wasn't great at food (I do miss the sangria though).

      Foxes

      By Sue · Posted

      I really don't want to use anything which could cause serious harm to foxes, or indeed to the cats which come into my garden to sit still and silent beneath the bird feeders. This has got worse since rambling  roses were cut back by my back fence, so I need to sort that out, though I don't think rose thorns deter foxes. Though maybe you weren't replying to me, sorry if so!

      No no and no.  Community activism (or even just caring) is NOT about keeping you head down, minding your business, and assuming there are Mensa-level experts making infallible decisions based on impeccable advice and in perfect sympathy and harmony with public sentiment. Especially when it's with our money and impacts green space, no matter how trivial it might seem. The council cuts down way too many trees and never replaces them, there's no urban canopy, trees on my road especially are trimmed to within an inch of their lives so people can send an invoice. Southwark has a full time tree removal person but no green regeneration person around street trees in particular.  It's like having 25 morgue workers in a hospital but no midwife.  Best gift you can give anyone for the future is to plant a tree today.
