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

      Thank you to the people who helped find our dog Monty in Dulwich Park

      Many thanks to the woman who looked after our old deaf Miniature Schnauzer who got separated from us in the park this morning. And thank you to the man who alerted us . My husband is very relieved and grateful. If any one knows who these people are please say thank you as he didn't get their names.

      why do we think we have the right for the elected local council to be transparent?

      Granted Shoreditch is still London, but given that the council & organisers main argument for the festival is that it is a local event, for local people (to use your metaphor), there's surprisingly little to back this up. As Blah Blah informatively points out, this is now just a commercial venture with no local connection. Our park is regarded by them as an asset that they've paid to use & abuse. There's never been any details provided of where the attendees are from, but it's still trotted out as a benefit to the local community.  There's never been any details provided of any increase in sales for local businesses, but it's still trotted out as a benefit to the local community.  There's promises of "opportunities" for local people & traders to work at the festival, but, again, no figures to back this up. And lastly, the fee for the whole thing goes 100% to running the Events dept, and the dozens of free events that no-one seems able to identify, and, yes, you guessed it - no details provided for by the council. So again, no tangible benefit for the residents of the area.
