Spent quite a while negotiating a series of lifts, staircases, pitch black corridors, and ramps. That place is a veritable labyrinth... just as you think you're making progress towards your goal, you find that the lift isn't operational - entrails hanging from the vacant control panels - or the door at the end of the corridor is locked. We frequently had to retrace our steps and try something different. It was made all the more exciting with the knowledge that if we were murdered, nobody would hear our screams (actually, there's a good chance nobody would have found our bodies either).


We eventually found our way up to the bar, only to find that it was a "private party", so we had to leave. But we did get a chance to briefly check out the dubious art.

Sounds like a Paradise....like the old multi-storey tower blocks with their dimly-lit corridors and hidden nooks and grannies...indeed one of my grannies is probably still there, buried amidst the long-discarded needles between the 7th and 8th Floors...

Now, now Quidsy.


I was referring to the "multi-storey car park" aspect rather than the "Peckham" one.


Plenty of decent pubs in the heart of South London ( Inner).


I never even park in a multi-storey as they seem "didgy" to use my friends vernacular. WELL didgy, in fact.


Edited for f.p.purposes..

    • Thank you for your reply. I have sent you a PM.  
    • It required legislation to identify the beneficial owners of properties in the UK held by overseas companies - and these still haven't been properly disclosed - ownership of things isn't just a google search away - and to suggest otherwise is not to understand how capitalism works. Unless you (cyclemonkey) do have access to that knowledge and would like to share.
    • "Mysterious owners" 😆  If only there was a powerful search engine at our fingertips to find out such deep secrets.        
    • It's the "due to commercial reasons" line again that is vexing. Last year it seemed, although there was a similar level of objection, that the reasons were commercial - Gala didn't appear entirely prepared to run 3 more events, or more likely didn't have sufficient interest from other promoters / organisers who could 'sub-let' the site as with Brockwell Park (I believe?). This year they appeared more organised, had another year to plan & prepare, to the extent they actually had names for two of the three new events which indicated to me that they had third party promoters / organisers in place.  So yes, it does make you wonder whether the repeated level of objection, combined with the impending elections, led to the council 'advising' that maybe they shelve it again? I'm afraid I can't see the whole extension application just being a ruse to guarantee permission for the 'regular' event. Gala are a commercial venture with ambition - every festival's business plan is to expand, expand, expand, year on year on year. Gala won't give up until they have taken over the whole park for a Summer of Raves, and the mysterious owners are on their yachts counting their ££££
