Global Village-Charing Cross....Robotic Human Dances in perfect symmetry, Women leading other Women around on chains, Guys with half their faces painted White with Black Eyes and the other half painted Black with White Eyes etc...and me turning up in my "Simon Templar" White Polo-Neck jumper...well I wasn't to know was I?


Scamps and B++bs" Croydon..more a Gig Man myself....

Around '90/'91 I remember some club under the arches in Vauxhall (long before all the arches turned into clubs), and another in that strange tower block next to the Nine Elms market. But can't for the life of me remember anything about either, except having a good time...

I put on a party at the arch in Vauxhall in '89, I can't remember what the venue was called if it was called anything. It's still going though, I went to a party there a few years ago.

The club on Nine Elms got closed down, I think there was a death or two there, can't remember what it was called either (memory a bit hazy 89 - 93)

If my memory is serving me right it was called Dance Wicked. It was either there at Vauxhall or at the arches in Elephant & Castle.

Yeah I did. Wasn't it a restaurant/wine bar with a small dancefloor? It was when I went there or was that in Chelsea? I remember going there in the late 70s. And in particular in '77 when the Sex Pistols' God Save The Queen had just been released out and everyone going apeshit on the dance floor. Good times.

    • But you say in a previous post that you weren't very interested in this house in the first place, and yet you have got to this point despite knowing there had been  subsidence, and then  having discovered several  issues which the present owners  hadn't disclosed? I'm wondering at what point it would feel so  insufficiently right that you walked away? I completely understand your exhaustion, but won't you be even more exhausted if you go ahead with this purchase? As regards drainage issues, I  can tell you from my own experience that Thames Water will argue that it is your responsibility to deal with a drain even if from their own website content it is clearly theirs. And you might find someone in an obscure TW  department who tells you off the record that you are right, but that his  department is not the department which deals with repairs, and he has no contact with that department, and he asks you not to quote him or mention his name, or he will get into trouble 🙄
    • 30 years ago you could buy and sell houses that had been underpinned without too much worry as long as the paperwork was in place. Huge swathes of Victorian and Edwardian, and occasionally between the wars, properties are underpinned in SE London.  Many after the 1976 drought and no doubt following the increasingly common droughts we are seeing in recent decades due to climate change. First issue was when insurers got funny, Direct Line I remember, wont insure many SE post codes. I'm not sure why there is more concern now, although five subsidence claims is quite impressive. As others say if is it discounted and you are prepared to take the risk... Not sure what others think of structural surveys, difficult here is that you need to monitor movement for six months or longer.  And older properties will move slightly with the shrinkage and expansion of the clay.  Most are out of true (look at how square original door ways are); some would have moved following bombing in the blitz. Odd how much we invest in a pile of bricks that will age and deteriorate.
