What is this proposal, student housing for non-students? Sounds awful but in the end they are replacing a hotel with what essentially sounds like a hotel. Why the uproar over losing Victorian housing now and not a peep when the houses on Seven Sis…

From the UCKG website: In 1996, the UCKG acquired the derelict Rainbow Theatre in Finsbury Park. Initially no heat or light was available in the building, but that did not deter the growing congregation from attending daily services. The UCKG then e…

Here is another article: http://fusion.net/story/106341/nextdoor-the-social-network-for-neighbors-is-becoming-a-home-for-racial-profiling/ I think the point is that Nextdoor users were using race and ethnicity to describe people just going about…

About Nextdoor users: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/19/us/website-nextdoor-hears-racial-profiling-complaints.html?_r=0 To be fair, the company responded: https://www.wired.com/2016/08/nextdoor-breaks-sacred-design-rule-end-racial-profiling/

Isn't this a Council matter? What do the MPs have to do with it?

With the presidential campaign in the US and the referendum in the UK something has been unleashed that may become impossible to control. The media says the vote is a reaction of citizens being ignored by their government but it's the establishment …

Would this be an acoustic or electric guitar?

It's easier to say Finsbury Park

I thought Crouch Hill was just a road (and a hill). I would only say I live in Stroud Green, while I was physically present in Stroud Green, hardly any one knows where it is outside the area, and apparently locals don't know either. Btw, Does a lock…

Why Pappagone is always packed: Because it's a fun! It's lively! PapaL is quite right, it's the atmosphere. Though we differ in opinion on the quality of the pizza, I think it's pretty good most of the time. Because if it wasn't, I don't think the p…

Are we talking about the same Stroud Green Road?

You can use Webtrak to track arrivals/departures live or see an overview of flightpaths over any particular neighbourhood. http://www.heathrow.com/noise/what-you-can-do/track-flights-on-maps For more information on flight paths:http://www.heathrow.…

Can someone explain to me how the drug trade, gangs, the prison system, police budgets, etc. relate to a local woman being assaulted and stabbed on her way to the post office? It seems to me that there are many assumptions being made in this discuss…

Digging around, it looks like the GOBLIN will be partially closed from June to September 2016 and then fully closed from October 2016 to February 2017. http://www.globalrailnews.com/2016/02/02/eight-month-closure-planned-for-goblin-electrification/ …

Read it in the Standard: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/barking-to-gospel-oak-overground-line-to-shut-for-eight-months-to-allow-upgrade-works-a3164041.html Someone who is more transit savvy may know more. I thought this idea/plan was float…

Using Crouch Hill will work until June, but then the line line closes for eight months for an electrification upgrade.

I arrived in 2005 and I could swear The Old Dairy was already a pub at its present location

Whether or nor Islington council was being fair or not, the rejection just wasn't done on a whim in my opinion. There was a political context. It was my understanding that in 2010, Labour won control of Islington council from the Lib Dems and one o…

I didn't know this was a thing. Love it. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/pear-cider-boom-angers-purists-8348393.html

I can't tell you anything about BT's customer service because for the past four years that I've used BT for broadband I've never had to call them. For broadband and landline I rate their service good. I don't have a TV package. Broadband speeds are …

To me that sounds like saying if an establishment doesn't meet my standards or cater to my needs it shouldn't exist. I've never been in the WLM and have no desire to do so, but that doesn't mean I think it should change or be closed down. If you do…

Oh to live and dream! If you want to see what's on offer in terms of the fun and excitement that student housing will deliver to the area, simply stroll past the many, many student housing projects in Islington, which is chock-a-block with them. Th…

@PapaL I take your point but I don't think we'll see eye-to-eye on this. I don't see buy-to-let investors solely as filling a gap in the market. They are dominating the market and forcing many people into the private rental market when in normal cir…

There are many markets within the property sector. Traditionally, in a rising property market, as sales prices go up, rental prices usually go down because more people are moving out of the rental sector into owning their own homes, thus decreasing …

I'm all for building more social housing and housing association stock but isn't the housing 'problem' in the UK, London in particular, essentially mean the private rental market is broken? Low income, middle income, whatever income people/families …

Good news. Work was being done on the footpath under the railway arches yesterday and it was half blocked off. I was wondering if it would be finished by Monday.
