Hardly pizzaless! There's already an excellent pizza place on Lordship Lane - Sorsi & Morsi.

Seabag yes they do have a frontage to trade from, but it all depends who comes along to fill the empty places. I can't see a chain taking on the speedo pizza site, nor can I really imagine another independent. If anything, I reckon it will probably imagine an already existing business investing the time and money into an expansion or second outlet selling food. Maybe Blue Mountain ED 2? Hope and greenwood ED 2? Who knows. I personally would be happy with a prey a manger but that won't happen.

Amen to that Foxy. At last common sense prevails. It's Italiam peasant food akin to cheese on toast with a added extras. Then the poncy as you like gang move in and try and make it something it isn't! Average price 10-15 quid in certain places maybe more. Disgrace.

Twitter update from Franco Manca: they're opening a branch in South Ken in October, which is before the ED one is set to open. Apparently the building is "putting up a fight". I give this purely for information purposes without taking sides as to their priciness or ponciness.

I'm amazed they took on that building. It's a terrible layout. They're definitely doing the right thing by flattening the floor out, but it must be costing them a fortune.

They'd fold in a week.

Judging by the amount of interest they have attracted they will have nightly queues outside, so I'm pretty sure they think it's worth the time money and effort. All I can conclude is that people around here love posh-cheese on toast, seeing as we still do not have a noodle bar, Mexican, Vietnamese, or any other world food you care to mention. If you love a pizza or a curry LL is the place for you! I checked out the Tortilla website, it seems like a posh Subway, they've just opened in Clapham.

You're right, it was El Passo..Forgot that. Then, from memory, it went through a major refurb & came out looking just as tacky as before, but called Dos Amigos, before biting the dust completely. Just as Mexican/Latin American food finally took off:)

Then fold again and re-open as a burrito bar

Loving your work maxxi, it's not gone unnoticed here :)


Fresh California Burritos and Tacos are just the sort of thing you'd get for a cinema visit. Hand held and easy to eat, plus they're relatively inexpensive too

      Bitey Fox.

      By Babbit · Posted

      I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By Enable · Posted

      Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
